Hello,
the softdevice team (Torgeir Veimo, Martin Wache and me, Stefan Lucke) is pleased to announce a new release of vdr's softdevice plugin.
General info: Softdevice plugin enables vdr to run on your desktop with so called budget cards. You'll get vdr output via framebuffer or X11-Xv or DirectFB or vidix to your screen. Decoding is done via ffmpeg.
Supported vdr versions: 1.4.x, 1.5.x and 1.6.x
Plugin's homepage is located at: http://softdevice.berlios.de/
