   4b) The vdr plugin "softmpeg"
   -----------------------------
   
   There is a vdr plugin called "softmpeg" in the "softmpeg" directory,
   which basically works (osd is supported, too) but is in very alpha
   stage.
   
   First copy the whole directory the source directory of you vdr installation:
   (Substitute <vdr-dir> with the name of your main vdr directory)
   
   > cp -r softmpeg <vdr-dir>/PLUGINS/SRC/
   
   Then you need to rebuild all plugins:
   
   > cd <vdr-dir>
   > make plugins
   
   Then you can run vdr and tell it to use the softmpeg plugin to display
   the output:
   
   > ./vdr -P"softmpeg"
   
   If you cannot see any overlay windows, try to set the environment variable
   DIRECTFB_VIDEO_IS_OVERLAY like this and start again:
   
   > export DIRECTFB_VIDEO_IS_OVERLAY=1
