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
