Run in console on vdr and post output:

cat /usr/include/xcb/xcb_icccm.h|grep XCB_ICCCM_NUM_WM_SIZE_HINTS_ELEMENTS

Try this please.

New Logfile.

Judging by the logs it should work now. Start with -f, switch fo mpv, return to vdr, must be fullscreen.

Or start in windowed mode, swith to fullscreen, switch fo mpv, return to vdr, must be fullscreen.

Yes, tested both scenarios all works fine. Thanks a lot

Ok, I'll add it to git.

Please, test saving window size/position. Start in windowed mode, enable saving in menu, change size and position on screen, close with stop vdr, not to suspend. Start vdr again, size & position must be restored.

Tested your scenario , works as expected! Then switched back to fullscreen, restarted vdr but now i'm back in windowed mode. Looks like fullscreen is not been saved. All tested without "-f" option.

lnj · February 5, 2025 at 12:31 PM

Yes, that's how it should be. Saving the window size and position works when exiting vdr, but saving the full screen works for suspend, for start only with -f.

It is assumed that with a window manager the windowed mode is primary. Without a window manager (naked x11) you use fullscreen allways.

Ok clear, then all is ok

> The wheel moves up/down in the menu and controls volume without it.

While the volume control with wheel works like a charm, the wheel does not move up/down in the menu. How could that be fixed?

All other feature described in #1 work fine

Can you test 2.4.5 version?

MarkusE · November 1, 2025 at 9:37 AM

I downgraded to v2.4.5, same behaviour.

Code

<------>    if (event.xbutton.button == 4) {
<------><------>if (ShownMenu)
<------><------>    FeedKeyPress("XKeySym", "Up", 0, 0, NULL);
<------><------>else
<------><------>    FeedKeyPress("XKeySym", "Volume+", 0, 0, NULL);
<------>    }
<------>    if (event.xbutton.button == 5) {
<------><------>if (ShownMenu)
<------><------>    FeedKeyPress("XKeySym", "Down", 0, 0, NULL);
<------><------>else
<------><------>    FeedKeyPress("XKeySym", "Volume-", 0, 0, NULL);
<------>    }

If the volume works, then the code is correct. How are up and down defined in remote.conf?

Code

XKeySym.Up      Up
XKeySym.Down    Down

MarkusE · November 1, 2025 at 2:59 PM

Remote.conf:

Code

LIRC.Up         KEY_UP

Are you sure you used the test branch?

Looks a lot like the latest brunch.

MarkusE · November 2, 2025 at 8:40 AM

Thanks, now it works.

> Can you test 2.4.5 version?

There was a misunderstanding.

I understood, I should test (try out) version v2.4.5.

You meant, I should use the "test branch in git"
