[ANNOUNCE] vdr-softdevice-0.0.7pre2

Hi,

next pre release of softdevice plugin is ready.

What is it about ?
It brings vdr via framebuffer or X11-Xv or DirectFB or vidix and ffmpeg to your desktop.

In some way softdevice enters with this pre-release a pre production state.
When output format is set to YUY2 I was able to view softdevice DFB-output
on my TV via my matrox G400. Connection was via an RGB-Scart cable from
primary head.

This plugin is available via:
http://www.lucke.in-berlin.de

From CHANGELOG:
2004-07-25: softdevice-0.0.7pre2
- Use of additional deinterlace methods of ffmpeg. This may require
recompilation of ffmpeg (see hints in Makefile) (Thanks to Herbert Attenberger)
- New OSD option for A/V sync selection. This is related to sync change
from 2004-06-02. Normal sync is to get the sync pts from I-Frames only.
To sync on any PTS you have to change this (DVB-T fix).
- DFB: changed remote react on keypress instead of release
- DFB: when selecting YUY2 mode you'll get an alpha blende OSD (at least
with Matrox cards).
2004-07-23:
- xv-out: while mouse in window, auto hide cursor (thanks to Torgeir Veimo)
2004-07-18:
- moved ffmpeg version and build level report
- setup-OSD does not depend on XV_SUPPORT
2004-07-12:
- fix: DFB cropping for 16:9 mode
- OSD: softdevice menu now reachable via main menu entry
menu behaves different to others: changes are active immediate,
ok-key makes them permanent, back-key restores previous state.
2004-07-11 :
- fix: compile problem when only one output method (DFB) is selected
- DFB + vidix: selectable pixel format I420, YV12 via OSD
- OSD: offer only those menu items which are useful for current output method
- OSD: changed text from "Xv-Aspect" to "Xv startup aspect" and use "16:9 wide"
and "4:3 normal" strings for selection instead of 0, 1 values

Hallo Stefan,
könntest Du mir ein paar Tips geben, wie ich DirectFB mit der G550 zum laufen kriege?
Hast Du Matrox FB fest im Kernel?

Nein

Wie sieht Deine directfbrc aus?

mode = 1280x1024
pixelformat=ARGB

Wenn nichts angegeben ist wird der erste Mode aus /etc/fb.modes genommen.

Wenn ich softdevice mit vo dfb: starte, kommt nur

---------------------- DirectFB v0.9.21 ---------------------
(c) 2000-2002 convergence integrated media GmbH
(c) 2002-2004 convergence GmbH
-----------------------------------------------------------

(*) DirectFB/Core: Multi Application Core. (with MMX support) (2004-07-16 11:50)
(*) Direct/Memcpy: Using SSE optimized memcpy()

und dann hängt die Konsole. Wie kann ich den Fehler herausfinden?

Auch wenn da nichts zu sehen ist (kein Echo der Eingabe) versuchs mal "stty sane" .
Immerhin hast Du das größte Hindernis ja schon überwunden (directFB zu installieren). Ich glaube nicht das das alle Meldungen sind. Versuche
die Ausgabe beim Starten in eine Datei umzulenken:
"./vdr DIE_NORMAL_PARAMETER >~/dfblog 2>&1"

I've noticed that mentioning YUY2 could be misunderstood. It is referring a value which is selectable via OSD not one which has to be specified in a configuration file. My VGA to RGB-Scart cable was made from this schematic:http://www.sm.go.dlr.de/~bob/scart/scart.gif .

Hello. I have also a G400 and I'm trying to get the picture to my TV from the second head with softdevice. The cable used is a rgb-scart which works when used with mplayer -vo dfbmga. Here's my directfbrc:

I didn't use a directfbrc. Output was via fb0 which already had a PAL mode setting. From my fb.modes:

#
# warning: use of these modes is of your own risk and
#          may damage your hardware.
#
mode "my-pal-32-1"
    geometry 768 576 768 576 32
    timings  67723 106 1 44 1 70 4
    csync high
    laced true
    bcast true
endmode


mode "my-ntsc-32"
    geometry 640 480 640 480 32
    timings  90574  40 1 22 19 20 4
    csync high
    laced true
    bcast true
endmode

With fbset my-pal-32-1.
Other mode was once used for mplayer with region1 dvds.

DirectFB, DFB++, FusionSound are from todays cvs. Has anyone a running system or does the support for the second head need more coding? I can give debug information if needed. =)

Tomi (Finland)

I think that using second head needs some support via coding.
