hi John!
sounds really great! Unfortunately this is not working with my vdr 1.7.17. Compiling all works fine as in your instructions. But if I include both plugins with -Predbutton and -Pmheg I can't connect to xineliboutput any more. :(
Anybody knows what modifications are needed to fix this issue?
kind regards
Newsy

I have adapted the standalone "redbutton"
program
(http://redbutton.sourceforge.net/) into a
plugin for VDR. This
allows me to view the "Redbutton" data service
broadcast by the BBC.
great to hear that. To everyone as ignorant about MHEG
as me please
read [1]. John, thank you for the screenshots on your
project site.
Unfortunately MHEG is not available in Germany
according to [1].
As far as I am aware, this is only used by the BBC in the UK, and by a few other countries. I believe some other countries use a different system called MHP.
This is a preliminary version of the plugin and
it is not robust
enough for general use, but if anyone would like
to experiment with
it, the source code can be downloaded from http://pond-weed.com/redbutton/
I could not find a repository on your site. I think it
greatly eases
the task to provide patches. If you do not want to set
one up
yourself and you need a host you could use for example
[2].
Most of the code was written by Simon Kilvington as a stand-alone program, and I want to co-operate with him, so I need to talk to him about this.
Regards, John
