Re: [vdr] Which Kernel / DVB Driver for VDR1.7.8

[Karl Glatz]

But what about the patches (e.g. the one which lets the app dedect
wheter it's a dvb-s2 or dvb-s card) are they included in upstream?

Of couse you can, either with xineliboutput, xine-vdr or softdevice.
But the disadvantages are clear: Modern GPUs support more than the OSD
provided by VDR (even older gpus do that).
So none of these Output-Plugins will face the real problem: The OSD is
(mostly) limited to work with FF cards.
Many problems occour if you plaing a .avi file with xineliboutput, which has
a lower res than the TV - the OSD gets stretched and is nearly unreadable.
But thats only one of the problems with the OSD - its OK for TV, but it
could be mutch better.

Many concepts of todays Media Centers are just nice.
Name it: XMBC, Elisa, WMC, AppleTV; Some proof-of-concepts as Entertainer
(clutter + python), Gloss (clutter mythtv frontend), kaffeine-gl (very
experimental in kde4 branch).
Not only the effects are nice, also the concepts of using it (xmbc has
support for wiimote and such devices) etc.

But when it comes to TV Watching and Recording and so on, there is NO better
solotion than the VDR. And this is really your fault ;-) (and the
vdr-community)

Even if you don't like such interfaces, they are the future.
I think VDR should be modular enough to implement such a Frontend/Output (is
it a OSD?). AFAIK this is not possible in the current state.

Just my opinion.
