+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:
