[vdr] Re: Still picture viewer?

["Peter Seyringer" <dvrproject@seyringer.priv.at>]

Hello!

I have installed the full packed to run ppv and when i start it with
following parameters
./ppv -a -d -i /video/test.jpg
i get no error message but i also get no picture.
Can anybody, klaus and raplh, tell me why it doesn't work?
