Hi group.
I have a collection of media I'd like to play from the VDR interface under Xine. Does anyone know of a plugin that will let VDR browse playlists, play/pause/ff/rw through .avi files?
I know I can use Xine for this, but I want to control it all from the remote and the key mappings don't share between VDR and Xine well!
You should give vdr-softplay a try, it's media file player for vdr with the softdevice. Note that it only works with the softdevice as output device. Softplay is in an early stage of development, but it has already strong playlist support, plays almost any file that is supported by ffmpeg (.avi, .mpg, .mp3, .wav,...) and has the keymappings like one is used to from the vdr. There is not yet an official release of the plugin, but there will be a first release soon.
If you want to have a look at it you can get the plugin via cvs from
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.softdevice.berlios.de:/cvsroot/softdevice login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.softdevice.berlios.de:/cvsroot/softdevice co softplay
