Description
-----------

SwitchOSDPos is a plugin for the VDR to manually switch OSD-position/size
manually.

Clarification: No automatic detection of video-format is implemented -
this plugin is simply for switching OSD settings manually. Furthermore
the plugin only modifies VDRs settings of OSD. If a plugin does create
its own OSD object and doesn't use VDRs settings, switching position/size
with this plugin has no effect (e.g. yaepg, timeline, femon, clock).

Multiple presets (name, position and size) may be defined in the
configuration menu. These presets are stored in a file OSDPresets.conf
in the plugins' configuration directory.

Upon startup of the vdr the first preset may be activated (configurable).

The function of the MainMenuAction may be configured to either
- present a menu to select one of the presets
- simply switch to the next preset.

The plugin implements two svdrp-commands to query/set presets from
outside of vdr:
- LSTP to query the configured presets
- SETP to query the active preset or to activate a preset
See "svdrpsend.pl plug switchosdpos help" for more information.

The plugin implements a service-interface to query/set presets from
within vdr. See AxSwitchOSDPosServiceTyes.h for more information.

Two sample preset files are provided in the exapmples directory:

OSDPresets.conf-letterbox
- I'm using this on my 16:9 tv to toggle between 'letterbox' and
  'normal' osd position/size.

OSDPresets.conf-many
- I'm using this to test the word wrapping in the Mailbox plugin.
