AW: [vdr] Feature Request: 10 Second Jump from BigPatch, "switch timer"

2007-02-04 Thread martin
Hey Laz,

you speak from y hart! Exactly - there are some rules behind commercial
brakes. This also applies to Germany as the media law regulates how many,
how often, how long and so. I still use "noad" to detect the breaks. This
works in most cases, but our RTL knows how to trick it. So "jump forward 1
minute, step back -10 sec, maybe two times" and there we go. It's the same
rule that applies to the Internet. Everything just 3 clicks away - very
handy, I would say.

Maybe there are more people out there that would this support this feature,
as keys "1" and "3" are anyways not assigned during playback.

Regards,
Martin

I always copy the relevant lines for kGreen and kYellow (near the end of 
menu.c), rename them to k1 and k3, and change the delay to 10 s, leaving 
Green and Yellow to stay as 1 min skip.

The majority of advert breaks in the UK (on terrestrial channels) seem to be

about 4 minutes (I've got another key set to skip 4 minutes forwards...) but

some are +/- 10 or 20 s and being able to skip 10 s is very handy for me.

Cheers,

Laz

Hi Klaus,

thanks for your input. I did some tests: actually I have a rather slow
Pentium M 1,7GHz with xine as frontend. I jumps at least 20 seconds, when
I'm lucky, sometimes even 30 seconds. This is too far for me. Stepping in 10
Seconds steps with a single click is more convenient for me.


Reagrds,
Martin

Why don't you just press FFWD/FREW shortly?

Actually you should have started a new thread!

Oh, thanks for the code reading. Hmm.. I can live with BigPatch, so I always
apply it.

Maybe Klaus will let the skip-time be user-definable in a future version, or
maybe someone has already made a patch for it but for now why not just make
your own small patch for it rather than apply BigPatch?  I believe these are
the lines in menu.c to modify:

case kGreen:   SkipSeconds(-60); break;
case kYellow:  SkipSeconds( 60); break;
