[vdr] Re: Plugins the right way to go??

	You're right, this can co-exist in VDR, but maybe with a lot of 
changes. My vision is a socket-interfaced program, that can play, start 
and stop streams or files with video, audio, pictures or everything 
else. The biggest problem I think is to design a comprehensive 
interface that could be used over an LCD, on OSD or a web-interface, 
with a keyboard or a remote control. Wait and see...

	Wow, what do you mean? Several VDRs connected over the internet and 
streaming films with each others? We surely would have problems with 
copyright but sounds great!
