Basically, a histogram with STR, SNR, BER and UNC, so that one doesn't
have to oogle the screen constantly to see how signal quality changes.

Even better if it was possible to trigger such monitoring without the
femon display showing.


It should be more feasible to utilize the original command line femon
tool and RRDtool instead of the plugin.

I was mostly thinking about the casual use, similar to how most CPU
usage tools shows a history graph of the measured values.

I think this would be possible with a small script getting the current femon 
status via svdrp (plug femon sgnl/snra) and
put this data into an rrd database, from where you can easily generate nice 
looking graphs. You should run the script at
let's say every 5 minutes or so using crontab.

I'm doing the same for logging my system health status.

 Just a little advertising for my dbus2vdr plugin:
 https://github.com/flensrocker/vdr-plugin-dbus2vdr

 With this, you can get data from plugins with dbus calls which wouldn't block the svdrp service and are executed in 
its own thread.


 dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=de.tvdr.vdr \
--print-reply /Plugins/pluginname \
de.tvdr.vdr.plugin.SVDRPCommand string:'command' string:'parameter'

 From python is calling a dbus method a lot easier (I heard), but haven't tried 
it own my own.

 Don't forget to configure the system bus so the calling user is allowed to access it for the vdr-dbus-service, for an 
example please look at

 
https://github.com/flensrocker/vdr-plugin-dbus2vdr/blob/master/etc/de.tvdr.vdr.conf

Lars.
