That's the current state. I can't think of a good reason why it has to stay that way though. VDR itself could have a menu that allows to enable, disable and configure plugins.
I can't see a benefit of this approach. At least for distributors it would get more complicated to install plugins with a specific default configuration, because that would mean all configuration informations would go into the setup.conf and it is no good idea to manipulate this file from outside.
Exactly!
Again: systemd ist *one of many* init solutions and I guess, that Klaus doesn't use a distribution with systemd.
IMHO the "systemd people" will have to create some kind of "adapter script" (and maybe just call it "runvdr" ;) ).
"runvdr-extreme" comes with a solution to enable/disable plugins from the VDR GUI. Maybe that would fit as a base for systemd startup.
