Besides of that typo, there're plenty of video aspect ratios missing:
1:1, 12:11, 10:11, 16:11, 40:33, 24:11, 20:11, 32:11, 80:33, 18:11,
15:11, 64:33, 160:99, 3:2, 2:1.
Anyway, I'm not very fond of this new interface addition. After a little
playing with xineliboutput plugin in the past, the OSD scaling to video
size is a total mess and hence the HUD mode was developed, where the
OSD resolution is the same as the output resolution and the video is
scaled to that resolution. I'd strongly suggest to implement
"cDevice::GetOSDSize()", so the output plugins can correctly set their
OSD resolution with minimal scaling artefacts.
Of course, you could misuse the current GetVideoSize always to result an
output (OSD) resolution, but that would break i.e. all skin plugins that
will certaily make use of this new method.

[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-xine-0.9.2 plugin
Hi, I'm pleased to announce maintenance release 0.9.2. You can find it on my homepage as usual: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl Excerpt from HISTORY: 2009-05-03: Version 0.9.2 - Updated MANUAL accordingly. - Added setup options to define OSD extent. - Implemented VDR-1.7.7s cDevice::GetVideoSize() to return an OSDs maximum extent. NOTE: * no xine-lib changes since 0.9.1 * BTW: it seems to be necessary to restart VDR in order to make changes to the OSD extent take effect. Enjoy. -- Dipl.-Inform.

This is my solution: Thanks for the tip. I had a similar problem. When my LCD-TV was on standby during startup of X it got not detected by the X-Server. I have managed to force the detection by adding a monitor section with all the modlines and also adding "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0". Now the I was able to turn the monitor on afterwards, and I got a picture, but it was only 640x480 pixel in size :( Adding the "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/LG-edid.bin" option solved everything for me. Now the X-Server starts with the native LCD-TV resolution, even when the TV is turned off. Regards, Artem ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

(Though I wonder if it shouldn't happen when disabling sid scanning with S0.) It also means that iptv plugin is working and the stream in rtp format is really supported. The entry contains 0 as the video pid which means that the channel is treated like a radio channel. > Changing to this channel with the up key, I could hear the audio, but > instead of the video some kind of animation was shown.

I think you are only missing h264 support from vdr core which could be the reason why the video pid of the channel is set to zero. A patch for adding h264 support to vdr 1.6 -series is included in this mailing list post: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2008-March/016227.html It's the vdr-1.5.18-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff.bz2 and it works for 1.6 even though the name suggests 1.5 version.
