vdr-plugin-mpv

lnj · Mar 11th 2020

Hi.

The plugin has not been updated for a long time. i made some patches.

There is some desire to fork this plugin, which source is better to take as a basis?

https://github.com/vdr-projects/vdr-plugin-mpv

https://github.com/chriszero/vdr-plugin-mpv

Some other?

utiltiy · Mar 11th 2020

vdr-projects on github its a collection of vdr-plugins at one place

lnj · Mar 11th 2020

But git from chriszero has more commits.

M-Reimer · Mar 12th 2020

vdr-projects was an attempt to place some VDR plugins to a central organization on GitHub.

The idea was that a project can move to a new maintainer as soon as the former maintainer looses interest.

But the whole project was not accepted too well among the VDR community. So I would call the vdr-projects organization a failed project.

The original source is here:

https://projects.vdr-developer…ojects/plg-mpv/repository

The last thread about mpv was this one: https://www.vdr-portal.de/forum/index.php?thread/126854-announce-mpv-plugin-0-0-4

lnj · Mar 15th 2020

I created a fork.

I made some improvements, who are interested can try.

Need mpv > 0.30.

Example for cuda use -v gpu -h cuda

Add -g if you use x11.

Vaapi not tested.

utiltiy · Mar 15th 2020

Thank you!

Hi,

for vaapi the osd is missing.

lnj · Mar 15th 2020

What output plugin tryied?

Between softhdcuvid and softhddevice there is a difference.

What options you tried?

-v vaapi -h vaapi

-v gpu -h vaapi

9000H · Mar 15th 2020

Hi,

sorry for the false alarm, the osd in mpv is working,

The issue is the keyboard is not pass through since the beginning and I did overlook this.

I do have some changes to make this work, which I provide later.

Hi,

here are my mods, (remove .txt on the files) the vdr.lua need to be places in ~/.config/scripts/vdr.lua.

This gives keyboard control from MPV to VDR, there are probably better ways to it but this is the easiest.

Can you play mpv only, without vdr?

Try use mpv first, after then it will be clear how to configure the plugin.

For hdmi I use:

-a alsa/hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0

Look:

aplay -L

and select alsa device.

You not use X11, try -v drm, or -v drm -h gpu, or -v vaapi-drm

lnj · Jan 12th 2021

Hi all!

I made a test version of the plugin with keyboard support. Those who do not use the remote control can try it.

Necessary condition.

The plugin uses the output plugin's library (softhddevice, softhdcuvid, softhdvaapi, vaapidevice), so it should be compiled AFTER the output plugin is compiled. If you are doing a clean build, you can compile the plugin in a second pass, or make a symbolic link "zmpv" to the plugin directory.

You must select your output plugin in the makefile, uncomment line with it.

use branch test for this.

Since the test version, it is possible that something will be buggy.

M-Reimer · Jan 12th 2021

That's quite a tricky solution. What about distributions which ship all available output plugins? Four variants of vdr-plugin-mpv?

lnj · Jan 12th 2021

At the moment, yes.

vdr-plugin-mpv
