As far as I remember (*g*), you have to exchange the cFrame *playFrame; to 
const cFrame *playFrame in player.c.

I don't develop it anymore because I want to focus on other things 
currently, and last but not least because I simply don't need it anymore. 
If someone wants to develop it any further, I would be willing to give it 
out of my hands :-).

As the Manual states, you need an mplayer WITH DVB- (or DXR3-)support on the 
VDR side, and an mplayer WITHOUT DVB- (nor DXR3-)support on the 
Recodeserver-Side.
