Hi list,

the new version is available at:
http://www.magoa.net/linux/index.php?view=osdpip

OSD Picture-in-Picture is a PlugIn that displays the current channel in a small box on the screen (default upper right corner). You can switch up and down now, watching the progress of the previous channel in the box. Quality is not too good yet, and only I-Frames are displayed.
From 0.0.2 on, the plugin supports two modes: grayscaled and 256 colored. If
you want 256 colors, you'll need to upgrade your VDR to support a 256 color OSD with the provided patching instruction. You can choose the color depth in the setup menu. If you didn't patch VDR appropriately, you'll only be able to choose grayscaled mode.
Also by 0.0.2, the plugin has the possibility to choose the PiP size (in the setup menu in factors of 1/x) and position (by moving it around using number keys) as well as crop dimensions.
ATTENTION: To use PiP size factor 2 in 256 color mode, you need to set all crop values to >50 pixels.
ATTENTION: To have the position saved, you have to enter the plugin's setup menu and hit the ok button.

CHANGES since 0.0.1
- Added setup menu
- OSD depth, size and position configurable (see README)
- OSD crop dimensions configurable
- OSD window size is calculated dynamically depending on stream dimensions
- Added translations

Greetings,
Sascha



How do I switch the channel in the PIP? UP/Down changes the channel on the main output.
