Hi, there is a bug fix release for the Remote Control plugin. History: -------- 2006-01-25: Version 0.3.5 - Fixed segfault due to FileName == NULL in cTtyStatus::Recording() and cTtyStatus::Replaying() (thanks to Ronny Kornexl for reporting this one). Rewrote cTtyStatus::Recording() and cTtyStatus::Replaying(): Do not assume that Name and/or FileName have a particular format. It can be downloaded from ? ? http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/ See README for details. Short description: ------------------ This plugin extends the remote control capabilities of vdr. The following remote control devices are supported: (a) linux input device driver ('/dev/input/eventX', X=0,1,2,...) ? ? - built-in remote control port of the av711x-based DVB cards ? ? ? (aka full-featured cards), e.g. DVB-S Nexus [1] ? ? - remote control port of some budget cards, e.g. Nova-CI [2] ? ? - other input devices (not tested, please report success!) ? ? See file FAQ for a list of cards which have been reported to work. (b) keyboard (tty driver): /dev/console, /dev/ttyX (c) TCP connection (telnet) (d) LIRC Notes: [1] supported by DVB and dvb-kernel [2] supported by dvb-kernel only Summary of command line options: -------------------------------- -i dev, ? --input=dev ? select device which supports the /dev/input protocol -l dev, ? --lirc=dev ? ?select LIRC device -t dev, ? --tty=dev ? ? select terminal device -T dev, ? --TTY=dev ? ? select terminal device with 'OSD' -p tcp:n, --port=tcp:n ?select connection on tcp port <n> Examples: --------- vdr -Premote vdr -P"remote -i autodetect" ? ? Try to autodetect device '/dev/input/eventX' (X = 0,1,2,...). ? ? If no device can be identified, '-i /dev/input/event0' is used. vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/event2" ? ? use specified input device '/dev/input/event2' vdr -P"remote -l /dev/lircd" ? ? select LIRC remote control vdr -P"remote -p tcp:3333" ? ? wait for a telnet connection on tcp port 3333 ? ? (use 'telnet vdr 3333' to access this port) vdr -P"remote -t /dev/tty10" ? ? use terminal device without 'OSD' vdr -P"remote -T /dev/tty10" ? ? use terminal device with 'OSD' vdr -P"remote -i autodetect -p tcp:3333 -t /dev/tty10" ? ? use multiple devices Have fun, Oliver -- -------------------------------------------------------- VDR Remote Plugin available at http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/ --------------------------------------------------------
