[vdr] Image viewers

[Jan Ekholm <chakie@infa.abo.fi>]

Hi folks,

What is the current state of image viewers for VDR? Do they all still
require some obsolete version of ffmpeg to be installed and encoding of
the image to an I-frame using some external application?

I tried to do a plugin half a year ago based on these same specifications,
and it never got the image to show up correctly, they were always more or
less broken in some way, and the quality was never good.  The actual
menus, navigation etc worked pretty well, only the fairly important
displaying sucked.

Has anyone come up with a solution that would in some nice way internally
convert a JPG to a format that something like StillPicture() can use?

Right now I have an external SDL application that runs on the same box and
displays the images on the normal VGA card. Very suboptimal, as it
requires two sets of cables from the VDR box to the TV and a some serious
remote control weirdness... :)

Regards,
    Jan Ekholm
