Maybe using mbus/notifier like in freevo2, but the other way around (meaning in this plugin's case, that the freevo part triggers events, and the vdr part reacts on them inside VDR *and* "shoots back" by triggering OSD actions with it's own text data and drawing primitves requests, or widgets, but rendered on the freevo canvas)? Dischi, Rob, what do you think, is that kind of communication possible? I'm thinking of using actually a modified vdr-xine plugin itself for this, in which the RPC calls which render VDR's OSD in xine would be replaced by the Freevo ones (mbus, notifier, you devs must know better) and just keep the rest of the fifos for the A/V data. > If freevo can parse the vdr OSD it would be possible to update the LCD > when using vdr in freevo. Sure, that's part of the plan. I'd also like to support graphical displays through graphlcd-base from http://graphlcd.berlios.de (which was originally developed as a VDR plugin, but then split up in a vdr plugin and a library which I extended for my specific VFD display, so I know I want to see not only VDR on my graphical display, but also Freevo2 some day). Nevertheless, I'm seeing Freevo-1.5.4 in LCDproc mode now :-) >> >> > Do you plan to upload your plugin to the freevo addons page? >> > http://freevo.sourceforge.net/addons/ >> >> I would, but I registered today for a transfer manager account on the >> freevo site and got no activation email yet. >> BTW, do you know how a file having such a download link like >> http://freevo.sourceforge.net/addons/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=vdr_xine-0.2.tgz&directory=Plugins&; >> could be downloaded with wget?

Thanks, that works from the command line, and I'm almost sure it would work invoked in Gentoo ebuilds too! Lucian P.S. Dischi, do you know what's going on with the account registration on the addons page? ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
