If you already have a well-suited blacklist for the taste plugin, you do need not to add all the entries again manually. Just copy or move the file taste.conf in the VDR config directory to block.conf and you are done.

For example on my system the command

cp /var/lib/vdr/plugins/taste.conf /var/lib/vdr/plugins/block.conf

would copy the blacklist to the file used by the block plugin.

Trivia¶

As soon i discovered the taste plugin i loved the idea of wiping out all the rubbish from my tv programme and the phrase 'not acceptable' and especially the German translation 'unzumutbar' really made me smile. Unfortunately the taste plugin afaik requires a full featured DVB card and does not work in budget, softdevice or mixed configurations. So i tried to create a patch and in fact i could fix that issue. e-tobi offered me to continue my work on this page and i decided to publish my work as a fork called block plugin, which is based on a CVS checkout of the taste plugin 0.0.2d on 2010/01/13. This way LordJaxoms work (the taste plugin) remains untouched and i am free to continue my work on the plugin.

Thanks to LordJaxom for the taste plugin, to tomg and mapovi for the kind permission to use their patches, e-tobi for the webspace and the people on the IRC, especially OppTupacShakur and igel for testing and support.

Differences in the block plugin (initial release 0.0.1b)¶

• New features:

Compatibility with non-ff output including budget and state-of-the-art softdevice configurations added
-Implementation of syslog functions (BLOCK_LOGGING in the Makefile set to 1 or 0 respectively will switch logging on/off)
ATTENTION: This will add lots of entries to your syslog!
‚Ok’ should work reliably now to unlock a blocked show

• Patches:

Several patches for the taste plugin by tomg and mapovi are built into the code of the block plugin permanently.
Note that these patches are also included in the debian package vdr-plugin-taste.

Locale patch:
- fixed clean target of Makefile
- adapted Makefile to current newplugin template
- use translations of main vdr
- exclude old i18n parts by ifdefs
Version compatibility:
Changes for VDR >= 1.5.0 (applicable to VDR >= 1.4.5)
Makefile fix:
added -fPIC to compiler options to prevent FTBFS
