Hi all,
I tried to remember how I configured mplayer from work and I ended up writing 
an incomplete explanation, my bad.

Actually I have two configuration files in my ~/.mplayer/ directory: 

- input.conf : it's just a copy of the file <src>/MPlayer-20020421/etc/input.co
nf it looks like this:

---- [ begin of input.conf ] ---------------------
##
## MPlayer input control file
##
## You are able to redefine default keyboard/joystick/mouse/LIRC bindings, or
## add new ones.
##
## The file should be placed into $HOME/.mplayer directory.
##

RIGHT seek +10
LEFT seek -10
DOWN seek -60
UP seek +60
PGUP seek 600
PGDWN seek -600
- audio_delay 0.100
+ audio_delay -0.100
q quit
ESC quit
ENTER pt_step 1 1
p pause
SPACE pause
HOME pt_up_step 1
END pt_up_step -1
> pt_step 1
< pt_step -1
INS alt_src_step 1
DEL alt_src_step -1
o osd
z sub_delay -0.1
x sub_delay +0.1
9 volume -1
/ volume -1
0 volume 1
* volume 1
1 contrast -1
2 contrast 1
3 brightness -1
4 brightness 1
5 hue -1
6 hue 1
7 saturation -1
8 saturation 1
d frame_drop
r sub_pos -1
t sub_pos +1
f vo_fullscreen

h tv_step_channel 1
l tv_step_channel -1
n tv_step_norm
b tv_step_chanlist

-------- [ End ] ------------------

-lirc.conf: this is the file where I actually define the lirc binds for 
mplayer:

-------- [ begin of lirc.conf ] ---------

begin
  remote = Hauppauge
  prog = mplayer
  button = Red
  config = QUIT
end

begin
  remote = Hauppauge
  prog = mplayer
  button = Right
  config = seek +10
end

begin
  remote = Hauppauge
  prog = mplayer
  button = Left
  config = seek -10
end

begin
  remote = Hauppauge
  prog = mplayer
  button = Up
  config = seek +60
end

begin
  remote = Hauppauge
  prog = mplayer
  button = Down
  config = seek -60
end

begin
  remote = Hauppauge
  prog = mplayer
  button = Menu
  config = osd
end

begin
  remote = Hauppauge
  prog = mplayer
  button = Green
  config = frame_drop
end

begin
  remote = Hauppauge
  prog = mplayer
  button = Yellow
  config = pause
end

-------- [ end ] -----------------

.. 
And this is my mplayer.sh script used to run mplayer from vdr:


-------- [ begin of mplayer.sh ] ---------------------

#!/bin/bash
#
# This script is called from VDR to start MPlayer
#
# argument 1: the file to play

# where to find mplayer
MPLAYER="/usr/local/bin/mplayer"
# mplayer options, -vc will be added below
# add "-lircconf <lircrc>" to enable LIRC support
OPTS="-y 576 -vo mpegpes -lircconf /root/.mplayer/lirc.conf -ao oss -framedrop 
-cache 4096"

#####################

FILE=$1
type=`file "$FILE"`

case "$type" in
*AVI*)
  VC="ffdivx"
  ;;
*MPEG*)
  VC="mpegpes"
  ;;
*)
  echo "Unknown video file format $type"
  echo "Edit mplayer.sh to support this file type"
  exit 1
  ;;
esac
/usr/local/lib/oss/ossmix spdif.loop OFF
exec $MPLAYER $OPTS -vc $VC "$FILE"

------------ [ End ] ----------------------

I use a slightly modified mplayer startup script as I mainly play mpeg files 
off my home network (-cache 4096) and I use my sound card SPDIFs for audio 
from my Hauppauge 2.1 Card (SPDIF Loop ON) and for playing movies and MP3 
files off the sound card DSP (SPDIF Loop Off)

As for documentation ... I used the mailing lists (both VDR and Mplayer), the 
readmes, and bits of information gathered in a lot of web pages. Right now I 
can't make the mplayer osd show up on my dvb card (it works if I play the 
files on the X display )  .... but I keep trying ;-)

Mattia
