hi again!

is it possible to pass the data that is sent during VBI to the telly so one
can browse teletext?

cheers

[...]
Done, done and done. Currently it's in CVS only, but all will be in the next dongle.

thanks a lot!
i've already taken a look at the CVS repository and saw that there had been
made recent changes.
however... compiling a dongle is not that trivial (or so it seems).

[...sorry for ugly snipping...]

Unfortunately this is really odd. Both of these ways of invoking standby run the same piece of code that shuts off the video signal. I have no idea at the moment how it could work with one but not the other.

peculiar.
however.. it's not that important.

- a progress bar indicating how far a running (live TV) programme has advanced
would be _very_ nice (similar to this one
mvpmc.sourceforge.net/images/myth_osd.jpg but doesnt need to be alpha blended)

I have been planning this for recorded programmes but I hadn't thought about live. Maybe this could be done...

hehe. i have this feature on my HUMAX DVB-S receiver and have to say this
is _such_ a cool feature.

- EPG info is not scrollable if text doesn't fit into the box

Do you mean the programme summary? If so then this is listed as a bug against VOMP already, I will get around to this at some point.

oops.. yes. you're right.

@Schnurps
yes... (@progress bar) that's exaclty what i had in mind.

cheers

hello @all,

the "OOBE" with VOMP was very positive -
it's a quality product already!

i'd like to point out these possible bugs and wishes:

- the main-menu clock doesn't get updated

- pressing the green button and selecting "Standby" apparently doesn't
  trigger the same event.
  [my telly switches on and off with the SCART signal. however, it only
  stays off if i select "Standby". with the green button the telly turns
  off and then immediately back on again (while the MVP stays off)]

- a progress bar indicating how far a running (live TV) programme has advanced
  would be _very_ nice (similar to this one
  mvpmc.sourceforge.net/images/myth_osd.jpg but doesnt need to be alpha blended)

- EPG info is not scrollable if text doesn't fit into the box

- EPG info should include current time

- changing the channel via buttons 0-9 should accept one, two (timeout
  controlled) and three digit entries


that's all for now.
i hope i'm not being presumptuous by posting this.

cheers
Harry
