[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-xine-0.6.0 plugin

[Reinhard Nissl <rnissl@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce release 0.6.0:

    http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-xine-0.6.0.tgz

2004-11-02: Version 0.6.0

- Implemented playback of external sources. This is done using the well known
  mplayer plugin in combination with my mplayer wrapper called "xineplayer".
  Just setup mplayer plugin as it's documentation states. Then edit it's
  "mplayer.sh" and replace "mplayer" by "xineplayer". xineplayer get's built
  into vdr-xine's source directory. You'll have to copy it to a "bin"
  directory which is part of your PATH or you might want to specifiy it's full
  path in mplayer.sh. For this first release you'll have to select mplayer
  plugin's "TRADITIONAL" mode to get it working with vdr-xine.
- Exact but CPU intensive OSD blending can now be disabled in xine-lib by
  giving the configure switch "--disable-exact-blending" to "./autogen.sh".
- Fixed high CPU load of vdr-xine when xine was disconnected while a currently
  replayed recording was paused.
- Removed DATA_DIR. "noSignal.pes" is now expected below VDR's config files
  directory, i. e. .../plugins/xine/noSignal.pes.
- Added OSD scaling mode "auto SHQ" which automatically chooses SHQ mode for
  low resolution streams (width < 360 respectively height < 288). This mode is
  now the one which is preselected in Makefile.
- Updated INSTALL and MANUAL accordingly.

Enjoy.

Bye.
