A VDR plugin which works together with cefbrowser and remotetranscode to show HbbTV application and stream videos.
At first the libraries for Apache Thrift to be build. This step is only once necessary. Choose either the build with or without the Thrift compiler. The build without the Thrift compiler is much faster.
build-thrift.sh
or
build-thrift-with-compiler.sh
Then the plugin can be build
make -j && make install
A patch for VDR and several output devices can be found in directory patches. These patches allows the usage of image
scaling using OpenGL instead of the slower GraphicsMagick.
A default configuration can be found in folder config: sockets.ini.
🔥 All ports/ip addresses in sockets.ini must be the same as for cefbrowser and remotetranscoder.
It's safe to use the same sockets.ini for all of the three parts (vdr-plugin-web, cefbrowser, remotetranscoder).
-c / --config </path/to/sockets.ini> (mandatory parameter)
-f / --fastscale (optional parameter)
-o / --dummyosd (optional parameter)
-s / --savets (optional parameter)
-b / --bindall (optional parameter)
-n / --name (optional parameter)
This parameter is mandatory and must point to a sockets.ini file which contains the host and port configuration of the other components.
Let the outputdevice scale images from browser. Much faster than using GraphicsMagick. But it's only available if the VDR patch and the outputdevice patch has been applied. See patches/README.
Creates a dummy osd while streaming a video. It could be necessary.
Used for debugging. The incoming TS streams will be saved in the recordings/web directory.
If set, then bind the internal HTTP server to all available network devices. Otherwise use the configured IP.
If set, then the menu entry will have a different name. Instead default web another name can be choosed.
Uses the VDR logging mechanism. Log entries can be found in /var/log/syslog with [vdrweb] prefix.
