Hi Tero,

I've made patches for VDR 1.4.5 and few plugins (Subtitles, streamdev and xineliboutput, softdevice) to run them on Mac OS X (10.4.8 Intel tested)
Funny, a friend, Stefan Rieke and me are also working on getting VDR to run on Mac OS X. We have VDR 1.4.0 running on OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.8, together with a few plugins. I think we are a bit more advanced than you, we have a special version of the softdevice which has native audio and video Mac OS X support (the video is displayed via OpenGL), and a very alpha version of an mminput-plugin, which makes it possible to use USB DVB devices on Mac OS X together with the VDR. However after a short look you patches to VDR seem to be cleaner than ours ;-)
Hi Martin,
Well this is good news as I was hopingd that someone could continue developing this as personally I don't have too much spare time. I started this just to test what is required to get VDR even compiled. Because it wasn't so much, I continued also with few plugins to get also video out and used Xineliboutput for it.
If there's any use of my patches please use them. I can provide at least test support for Mac-VDR.
We planned to publish our work some time ago, but up to now we delayed it again and again... Maybe we can join our efforts? If you are interested, you (or anyone else...) can find our special softdevice version at
http://butler.physik.uni-mainz.de/~wache/softdevice-macosx.tbz
We developed it using a PowerPCs, so there might be some endian problems on Intel Systems. The package also contains short instructions how to build the softdevice and ffmpeg.
I tried the softdevice plugin but it failed on shmget. I have larger shm values in /etc/rc than in the ReadMe, any ideas what could be the problem:
