New Plugin Channel Manager (0.0.5)

allanon · 21. Dezember 2007

In this thread I would like to announce a plugin that I developed for our beloved software.
The name is chanman (Channel Manager). I started to develop this plugin on September 2007, and I worked on it until now with the advice and suggestions by italian vdr-community.

The last version is 0.0.5.

This Plugin is useful to change channel with a multi level choice.

In particular is possible to select in the first choice by:

1) Group (indicate by the row with ":" in channels.conf) (Red key);
2) Provider (Green key);
3) Name (Yellow key);
4) Source (Hotbird/Astra/etc) + Provider (Green key);
5) Source + Name (Yellow key).

Then in a second Menu' we change the channel...

In order to see only radio, or free tv, or Crypted tv we use the Blu key. This filtration is applied on the active ordering (1-5).

The '0' key is activated with useful jump (especially for 4-5 sorting).

It is possible to download this plugin
http://ww2.unime.it/algebra/rinaldo/vdr/vdrplug.html

If this site does not work (sometimes happen!), go to the resources of vdr-italian forum:
http://vdrbox.altervista.org/risorse/

then click on "VDR-plugins"
and then
Download
"vdr-chanman-0.0.5"

P.S.

All my work is inspired or copied and modified by the source present in "menu.c". I tried to respect the "Klaus" philosophy, even if this is my first experience in c++ programming: Suggestion and advice are welcome!

Many Thank Klaus for your very nice work!

Hi!

I think it would be helpful to provide the author of the plugin with a little more information like the vdr-version you are using.

Bye,

The plugin doens't work with vanilla VDR, but requires WarEagle's Iconpatch installed.

allanon · 21. Dezember 2007

It's my fault,
In fact in Italy all the people have the WarEagleIcons,
For this time download the 0.0.4 version is more or less the same but doesn't have the icons ...

http://ww2.unime.it/algebra/rinaldo/vdr/vdrplug.html
(now it works)

I promise that in the next version 0.0.5a, I'll solve this problem but you have to wait a couple of days.

Best wishes

No, actually waiting for your patch

I would like to know if other people downloaded the plugin and find it useful or not.
Even suggestions or advice are welcome!
Thanks

hi allanon,

I downloaded and did a quick test. I myself find it useful to get an overview of the cannels list ...

It compiled ok for vdr 1.4.7 with bp34

regards,
Marcus

So, with version 0.4 is without problems (and vdr 1.4.7). Will it test today. So you need a plug-in any case:).

neptunvasja · 23. Dezember 2007

On the first attempt with version 0.4 broke unfortunately plug my VDR (1.4.7) crash:

@ neptunvasja
(I worked for you)
I Put a new version 0.0.5a on
http://ww2.unime.it/algebra/rinaldo/vdr/vdrplug.html
Try to download and make it (You don't need iconpatch).
I don't understand the last problem.
Try this last version.
We will solve the problem!!

I have now with new version tested:

May you send me your channels.conf and setup.conf by email?
(You find it on my website)
So that I have a similar situation to Yours?

allanon · 23. Dezember 2007

The problem is with channels.conf.
I don't know why...
As soon as I'll solve the problem I'll tell you.
If you want you can try with different channels.conf since more than 20 users of my plugin and they have no problem..

allanon · 23. Dezember 2007

OK!
In channels.conf You have to put in the first line
:principal (or whatever you want)
And you'll solve the problem!

allanon · 23. Dezember 2007

neptunvasja
As promised
A new version 0.0.5b
http://ww2.unime.it/algebra/rinaldo/vdr/vdrplug.html
Solve the problem!
Thank you for sending me your channels.conf, It was necessary to isolate the problem.
