Hi, a couple of questions before I CVS it.. You have introduced a fairly sparse Mark class, do you have plans to extend this to do other things or can we just use a vector of ints instead?

Also, I don't want to lose my 10s skip buttons, so how about we alter it so that if there are marks the yellow and blue buttons jump by mark and if not, they function as they do now.

Hi Chris,
the Mark-Class simply holds the cutting Marks for a recording, nothing more. I don't know, if people would like to have full VDR-Features on Marks, this would be:
-set a mark at current position, if there is none (with 0) (and communicate this back to the server, of course)
-delete a mark at current position if there is one (with 0) (and communicate this back to the server, of course)
-Jump to next Mark (with 6) or to previous Mark (with 4)
-Move Marks forward (with 9) or backward (with 7) in 0.1s steps (and communicate this back to the server, of course)
-start cutting a recording "MyRecording" (and generate a new "%MyRecording") (maybe as a feature of commands-hook)
-add a commands-hook to do different commands with the recording (like add a movie to DVD-Creation)

All of these features are Kind of Workflow, no feature of the Marks itself. So i guess putting them into a vector is a good thing.

Regarding the 10s Skip: I fthere were only "new" remote controls, we could use the * and the #, but these keys are missing on the old one. Anyway, the dual-funtion on yellow and blue would be ok (for me), since all of my recordings do have marks (from noad, of course).

Friedhelm.

hi, there is a new release of Cuttingmarks-Patch for VOMP 0.2.5. You can get the patches and a precompiled binary for NFS and a precompiled dongle.bin here: http://steckrue.be/download/index.php?sort=date&order=desc&path=vomp/.

use the files with _0.25-0.4

i moved the "jump to the next mark"-button to blue and "jump to previous mark"-button to yellow, since green is used for audioselection now. This means, that you will loose the "skip 10 seconds" feature, but simply use << and >> for this.

@Chris: do you mean it's possible to merge these patches into the CVS?

hi, there is a new release of Cuttingmarks-Patch for VOMP 0.2.4. You can get the patches and a precompiled binary for NFS and a precompiled dongle.bin here: http://steckrue.be/download/index.php?sort=date&order=desc&path=vomp/.

use the files with _0.24-0.3

@macfly

tried that version. dl vomp-server and the compiled dongle-0.2.bin. mvp boots, loads image and works so far. but as soon as i enter recordings menu, select a recording and hit PLAY nothing happens. after some time (half a minute) the screen gets black and i have to reconnect power adapter to bring the device back to live.

do you need some log or some more info for debugging?

hi izeman,

did you use the patched vomp-server? this is *needed* since the patched client sends a new event (getMarks) to the server. Does this occur on every recording or onlys on recordings, that have no marks?

sorry, download was broken - now it works.

hi, there is a new bugfix release of Cuttingmarks-Patch for VOMP. You can get the patches and a precompiled binary for NFS and a precompiled dongle.bin here: http://steckrue.be/download/index.php?sort=date&order=desc&path=vomp/.

@Chris: do you think, this is worth finding its way into CVS?

hi Torsten,

thanks for feedback. I did not notice this behaviour.

hm... 6 downloads and still no feedback?

to all downloaders of this patch: does the patch work for you? is it working as expected or does it simply suck? Feedback is welcome!

[vompserver_marks.patch]

Hi Chris,

i just managed to get this cutting marks stuff running. Attached you find two patches:
vompserver_marks.patch (apply to cvs version of server) enables the serverpart to:

• export marks for a given recording

mvp_client_marks.patch (apply to cvs version of client) enables the client to:

• load marks from server on playback or on resume
• draw the marks to the progress bar
• jump to next mark (Green)
• jump to prev mark (Red)

so, if you have http://www.freepgs.com/noad/ running over your recordings, you get automagically cutting marks starting at every advertising and ending at every advertising-end.

If you find the time to look over the code, i'd like to hear your feedback.

Hi Chris,

since i'm playing around in the code right now, i wonder, if there is any chance to emulate a remote keypress in a telnet-session.
.
For Example, startup vompclient -d, press enter, enter would result in "live-TV", "selected channel"
.
I'm just asking, because most of the time, i develop in the office (  ), and i have no chance to use the remote-control.

anyway, good work!

Hi Chris,

finally i found some time to get into the code.
i managed to extend the server plugin and the client to exchange marks for a recording.

(what are marks?: Marks a set manually or ideally with noad automatically indicating a starting and ending advertisement. In VDR, you can skip to next mark with 9 while playback. So, if you are watching recordings and an advertisement is starting, simply hit 9 to skip to the end of this ad.)

Now i have some problems understanding the code:
- i do not know, where to store the marks (that are a vecor of mark, a simple class representing an integer). The marks need to be accessable from inside a recording, so a skipToNextMark(int mark) (simmilar to skipForward()). I simply do not get the point from recordinglist to a player-object. Could you please show me the way?

regards and keep up the work!

Hi,

i'm using vomp since 0.0.13 and find is VERY usefull!

some Features would be nice to have:
- Display marks in replay with jump forward, backward
- having more than one directory in recordings (like Series~SciFi~Star Treck~)
- mp3-playback.

i just finished installing the development environment for vomp and looking around - as soon as i understand whats going on, i'll contribute.


regards and keep on the good work,
macfly.
