I'll see to make "client/server" a priority after that.
What does this mean? Do you plan built-in networking support or do you plan to improve streamdev? IMHO it is a big task to make really good networking support. Keeping this code separate (means: A plugin) isn't a that bad idea, I think. Of course, this plugin could be delivered directly with VDR, like the other "built-in" plugins.
I don't think a plugin is enough.
I agree.
I think, it is evident not confuse plugin-networking with client/server networking. OK, currently the client/server support works only through plugins, as there is no vdr-frontend - but Klaus should not care about plugin- networking on designing client/server functionality.
C/S-communication should be completely private to vdr - just like internal communication. Plugins may keep on doing their networking, i.e. to connect other frontends like xine or whatever - but that's not the internal communication, vdr relies on.
For better client-server VDR needs to support multiple clients watching different channels with different OSDs simultaneously.
Yeah, that would be very nice :)
