I adapted this patch to the text2skin plugin: --- vdr-1.3.47/PLUGINS/src/text2skin/status.c 2006-03-17 19:25:57.000000000 +0100 +++ vdr-1.3.47.udev/PLUGINS/src/text2skin/status.c 2006-04-17 20:32:08.000000000 +0200 @@ -8,6 +8,8 @@ const std::string ReplayNames[__REPLAY_COUNT__] = { "", "normal", "mp3", "mplayer", "dvd", "vcd", "image" }; +const char* DummyName = "Dummy"; + cText2SkinStatus Text2SkinStatus; cText2SkinStatus::cText2SkinStatus(void): @@ -32,6 +34,8 @@ void cText2SkinStatus::Replaying(const cControl* /*Control*/, const char *Name, const char *FileName, bool On) { + if (!Name) Name = DummyName; + Dprintf("cText2SkinStatus::Replaying(%s)\n", Name); eReplayMode oldMode = mReplayMode; Common subdirectories: vdr-1.3.47/PLUGINS/src/text2skin/xml and vdr-1.3.47.udev/PLUGINS/src/text2skin/xml Maybe someone who really knows what he is doing can use this.
