Preparation:

I use ubuntu 20.04 for Odroid-n2 with kernel 4.9 from here:	https://odroid.in/ubuntu_20.04lts/n2/

In order to compile the vdr you need to prepare the following.
# apt build-dep vdr
# apt install libgl-dev libglu-dev libgles2-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev libglm-dev libavcodec-dev libdrm-dev libasound2-dev vdr-dev

Install from git

git clone git://github.com/jojo61/vdr-plugin-softhdodroid.git
cd vdr-plugin-softhdodroid
make
make install

You have to start vdr with e.g.:  -P 'softhdodroid '

You need to run vdr as root.
You should adapt config.ini in /media/boot and change the Screensettings from hdmimode=1080p60hz to your preferred 
Resolution. Also set display_autodetect=false

If you want to have 10Bit colordepth you should insert something like that in rc.local:
echo 420,10bit >/sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr
echo 2160p50hz >/sys/class/display/mode
You need a UHD Display for this. All FullHD Displays are only 8 Bit.

Following is supported:



ALSA_DEVICE=default
	alsa PCM device name
ALSA_PASSTHROUGH_DEVICE=
	alsa pass-though (AC-3,E-AC-3,DTS,...) device name
ALSA_MIXER=default
	alsa control device name
ALSA_MIXER_CHANNEL=PCM
	alsa control channel name

Use vdr -h to see the command line arguments supported by the plugin.

-a Audiodevice         e.g. plughw:CARD=AMLAUGESOUND,DEV=3  (usually not needed)
-p DigitalAudiodevice  e.g. plughw:CARD=AMLAUGESOUND,DEV=2  (usually not needed)
-s Start in suspended Mode
-D Start in detached Mode
-g widthxheight        e.g. 3840x2160        only supported in Kernel 5.x
-r Refresh Rate        e.g. 60 default is 50 only supported in Kernel 5.x
-w use-spdif           use spdif instead of the default spdif_b

Normaly you do not need any Parameters. The Audiodevices have sensible defaults.

Use 'svdrpsend.pl plug softhdodroid HELP'
or 'svdrpsend plug softhdodroid HELP' to see the SVDRP commands help
and which are supported by the plugin.

See keymacros.conf how to setup the macros.

This are the supported key sequences:

@softhdodroid Blue 1 0		disable pass-through
@softhdodroid Blue 1 1		enable pass-through
@softhdodroid Blue 1 2		toggle pass-through
@softhdodroid Blue 1 3		decrease audio delay by 10ms
@softhdodroid Blue 1 4		increase audio delay by 10ms
@softhdodroid Blue 1 5		toggle ac3 mixdown
