Sorry, I had two questions. 1) does it support HD resolution, and 2) does it support truecolor. I should have been more clear. Sounds like the answer is yes to both though. > Whereas AFAIK true color OSD is also possible with SD (576i) output, e.g. > xine/xineliboutput. The main problem, there isn't any real true color OSD > skin out there, to use it ... I've made several truecolor themes for yaepghd but bball (the author) never added support for it so I've been hoping for another option to use them. Do you know of any VDR skinning tutorial? Maybe my work can be used afterall. > But the skins I did test, looked impressive with softhddevice :-) I've now tried softhddevice and upon first impression, I like it! However, I do have some things to say... - I haven't figured out how to enter fullscreen mode. The README.txt does say you need a windows manager but that installs too much crap I don't need/want. Fullscreen mode should be possible _without_ a windows manager. - There's a lot of junk logging, such as: video: 23:29:31.541 +833 432 206/\ms 3 v-buf video: 23:29:31.541 +833 432 206/\ms 3 v-buf video: 23:29:31.561 +853 432 206/\ms 3 v-buf video: 23:29:31.561 +853 432 206/\ms 2 v-buf video: 23:29:31.581 +843 545 206/\ms 7 v-buf video: 23:29:31.581 +826 529 206/\ms 7 v-buf video: 23:29:31.601 +813 495 206/\ms 7 v-buf If this is useful for debugging or dev work, it should only be enabled with a debug switch or something, but spamming the log with info that appears useless to a regular user is bad behavior. - Helpful logging is missing. For example, I didn't see anything telling me I'm using VDPAU. I didn't see anything telling me what the current deinterlacer being used is. These types of infos _are_ useful imo and should be present in the log. - I didn't see an option to toggle between surround sound and surround-to-stereo mix anywhere. This is very useful to people who don't leave their receiver and surround sound speakers on 24/7. And also for people who watch channels with surround sound but only have stereo speakers. All our systems are minimal. All using VDPAU. All using audio+video over HDMI. No windows/desktop/etc, only xserver -> only because vdr-xine/xineliboutput/xine-lib need it to create video output. All systems are installed on usb stick or sdhc card. I'm not sure how (un)stable the plugin is yet but I'd like to continue using this plugin while it matures. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
