Dreamboard

Not that i know of (although CanalDigitaal (dutch) has the progressive bit set sometimes). But they can if they want to.

New Version will come with progressive detection. Today Ghost has commited some necessary things for that.
But at the moment it didnt work , because i am stupid or Ghost has commited some strange things.

Hi,

Older images may not have the progressive indicator file yet. So i've

built in backward compatibility (The default output will be

progressive for 720 and interlaced for everything else).

You could store the script in /usr/script

make sure you make the script executable

( chmod +x /usr/script/autores.sh )

start it manually from telnet (/usr/script/autores.sh& ). note the &

at the end.

OR

type the following (dm800# is the unixprompt in telnet.. ) for automatic start on reboot

dm800# cd /etc/init.d
dm800# echo '/usr/script/autores.sh&' > autores
dm800# chmod +x autores
dm800# cd /usr/script
dm800# chmod +x autores.sh
dm800# cd /etc/rc3.d
dm800# ln ../init.d/autores S20autores.sh
dm800# reboot

Enjoy!

hi Rednax,

with the autores 0.5 my samsung plasma cannot show SD channels anymore because your plugin always takes 576 i (which is normally correct)

but samsung lcd/plasma tv cannot show 576i over hdmi port !
only 576 p is working with it, how can we change the autores from 576i to 576p

Hi,

Someone over at another forum had the same question, so i'll give the same answer

# DM800 auto resolution change by RedNax
# Just start this script to run in background
# v0.1 initial version
# v0.2 only set outut resolution on change
# v0.3 compare actual output with streamresolution
# v0.4 redid all the code. more compact. Also checks progressiveness
# v0.5 added backward compatibility for older images (ie no progressive 'file')
# v.05b custom version


while [ 1 ]
do

ress=`printf "%d" 0x\`cat /proc/stb/vmpeg/0/yres\``

case $ress in
720) ress=720p ;;
576) ress=576p ;;
1080) ress=1080i50 ;;
*) ress=${ress}i ;;
esac

if [ "`cat /proc/stb/video/videomode`" != "$ress" ]
then
echo $ress > /proc/stb/video/videomode
sleep 4
fi

sleep 1s
done


Enjoy!

new Version
- progressive detection support added
- small gui window informs about new mode in upper left corner
- Testmode added. Switch automatically back to old mode if you not confirmed new mode

needs enigma2 from today 20080928 and depends on enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-videomode.

Hi,

Here's the ready made file.

Enjoy!

Ok got the script working. Now the signal changes

However something is not working correctly... It still outputs a 16:9 signal eventhough the channel is broadcasting 4:3.
This is easily seen by the black pillars on each side which the Dreambox inserts (would normally be grey and changeable in the TV's menu)
This means that the image is shrinked horizontally for 4:3 content, plus it is not possible to zoom letterboxed 4:3 broadcasts by the aspect ratio button on the TV. It also means that the plasma will age quicker if a lot of 4:3 content is viewed as the grey color evens out the aging compared to the black pillar color.

Can this be fixed in the script? Thanks
