Some questions have come up about how to have a high resolution/color osd without having to sacrifice the speed of the osd. VDPAU users have noticed that when using a high resolution theme in yaepghd, it can take 5+ seconds for the osd itself to even be displayed. Per Klaus, VDR's position is this: "VDR renders its OSD into an array (of 8 bit indexes into a palette right now, and of full 24(rgb)+8(alpha) bit color values for truecolor) and its up to the device implementation how it transfers that array (or parts of it) to the actual display hard- or software." Some suggestions by Rnissl have been: -Similar way the eHD handles it -Allow osd areas to overlap and put such images into separate areas -Extend the osd api for scroll commands I thought this was important enough of an issue to post to the mailing list. Hopefully those with knowledge on the subject will participate and a good method can be established. We're finally getting the truecolor osd, just have to make sure it's usable and doesn't suffer from massive slowdown! :) Please, discuss!
