[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-softdevice-0.0.7pre1

[Stefan Lucke <stefan@lucke.in-berlin.de>]

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.

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

Some additional notes:
- Epia user with DirectFB have to place "disable-module=cle266" in
  /etc/directfbrc to get a working OSD and have to apply attached patch to DirectFB
- ffpmeg's deinterlacing works well for news tickers, but has some disadvantages
  on normal/fast motion, as it is causing visible block artefakts.
- Alpha blending of OSD works with radeon cards for X11 if you build Xfree yourself
  and apply a patch (available from above location). This patch enables some hotkeys
  to change X11-Atoms (properties) direct. So pressing 'A' twice enables pixel based 
  alpha blending. 'a' twice will go back to default mode. When alpha blending is
  enabled everything else but the video area will be drawn black :-( so maximize
  the window first.
