Hi Stefan,

I'm really glad to see that work on mga tv-out has started, I've been waiting to
use vdr + mga tv-out + directfb for a few years now, and this should enable it,
so thanks!!

I tried the plugin but got an error on video layer selection, which version of
DirectFB should I be using? Currenly, I have CVS from around two months ago.
This is the output when I try to run vdr with 'softdevice -vo dfb:mgatv'
