Improve submitting EDID info #41

Open mbeijen opened 5 years ago

mbeijen commented 5 years ago

Hi Tim, I watched your talk on CCC about your projects and you mentioned edid.tv and it sounds like something that might be helpful for me. I work on set top boxes which are basically embedded linux and sometimes have EDID info to gather and share with other parties.

What is missing from this website is instructions on how to submit info for a new display. I found this --> https://github.com/sewar/edid_grabber_c and I assume that is the proposed way to collect & submit data? Are there plans, half-started implementations etc of other software to do this? Or why did you not just put a link to the edid_grabber on edid.tv?

If you can start me in the right direction I'll see if I can help out.

OK, it seems edid_grabber_c is just some wrapper around xrandr.
