Is there a minimum version of vdr for this plugin.  I tried with 1.2.5
and had compile problems.

I look forward to trying this - I could never get the cgi approach to

One concern I have with this is that I will need to have the vdr box

Is it possible to use apache's mod_proxy to proxy the wml on another web
server?
