See the file COPYING for license information. Requirements: VDR and a spoon for the soup. Description: The "Soppalusikka" is a standalone skin providing the good old "ElchiAIO" looks. Installation: tar -xzf /put/your/path/here/vdr-skinsoppalusikka-X.Y.Z.tgz make -C skinsoppalusikka-X.Y.Z install Configuration: Channel logo directory can be given via a command line option (-l) and it defaults to "skinsoppalusikka" subdirectory in VDR's resorce directory for plugins. Notes: - Only XPM format is supported for channel logos: 64x48 pixels and 13 colors (6 colors on DXR3) or less recommended. Colors must be defined in hex numbers only. - If you'll add new channels logos on the fly, remember to flush the channel logo cache. - The channel logos can be named according to channel name (YLETV2.xpm) or channel id (T-8438-4097-33.xpm). The naming is case-sensitive and the plugin prefers channel ids as a naming scheme. All '/' characters in channel names shall be automatically converted to '~' characters in filenames. - There have been bug reports from some DXR3 users about vanishing colors and flickering. However, the skin is also reported to work without any problems on many DXR3 setups. - An example of ImageMagick syntax for generating Soppalusikka compatible logos: shell> convert ChannelLogo.jpg -resize 64x48 -background "#FEFEFE" \ -gravity center -extent 64x48 -colors 6 -depth 8 \ "Channel Name.xpm"
