[vdr] LCD-plugin for VDR / 16x2 Display

[Achim_Lange@t-online.de (Achim Lange)]

Hi Martin,

thank you for your great LCD-plugin, I am using it with VDR 1.0.4 
AIO1009. (tried it with 1.1.x already, also great)

Now finally my new case ( http://www.heimkino.at/dign.htm ) arrived and 
it has a beautiful integrated VFD ( 
http://www.heimkino.at/produkte/htpc/vfd.htm ).

Unfortunately it only has 16x2 characters. I was able to make it "work" 
by changing the following line in vdr.c:

   if ((hgt < 4 ) || (wid < 16)) connected = false; // 4 lines are 
needed, may work with more than 4 though

I just changed the 4 into 2 and it started working. Of course not 
perfectly, but mostly is shows the first two rows (date+time, 
channel-nr.+channel-name) , while recording the first line shows the 
card stati in exchange with date+time.

I tried to dig in deeper into your code, but as my last experience in 
C-programming lies 15 years ago, I did not find out, what to change.

I would dream of something like (while normal viewing):

first line, up 10 characters, number and name of channel (cut if longer)
one blank
first line last 5 characters Time (hh:mm)
second line what is currently running, like "20:00 Tagesschau", 
possibly scrolling, if the name of the program gets longer

would it be completely restructuring your code to implement something 
like this? or could it be even runtime-dynamic with regard to hgt and 
wid ?

Has someone else already tried something into this direction?

Thank you all very much

Ciao,

	Achim
