Hi,
recently I started to give some maintenance to a plugin [1] which seemed to be orphaned for a while and needed by several, as I knew from the German VDR-Portal, subscribers of Sky Germany. The plugin was called Arghdirector, it is a fork of an even older one, called "director", possibly because of the marketing name used by Sky Germany and former Premiere for their NVOD feeds at that time. Nowadays they call this "Sky select", so that's for now the new name of the plugin. We even had some discussion on vdr-portal on the new name, someone even suggested NVOD [2], others emphasized this would be only usable to german Sky subscribers, and I only recently found out that NVOD is actually established terminology [3]. Just by chance, I discovered that the plugin actually also triggers on several of the plethora of channels called "NVOD" which seems to be mostly if not all from Sky UK, so the plugin might even work with them, allowing to find on which of the feeds what show is just about to start. So my question to Sky UK subscribers, would you care to give it a try, would this plugin be of any use for you? Well, I do not know of any alternatives (in terms of VDR plugins) you might be using, please mention them if that's the case. If you find the plugin useful also for you, I'm considering yet again renaming it to something more generic, like "NVOD Feeds" and the german translation can still sound "Sky Select" as that's the current name of this feature at Sky DE...
Regards, Lucian
