New version of the Webvideo plugin is available at http://users.tkk.fi/~aajanki/vdr/webvideo/vdr-webvideo-0.1.0.tgz
The Webvideo plugin is a tool for browsing and downloading videos from popular video sharing websites, such as YouTube and Google video, using VDR menu interface or a command line client. With the help of xineliboutput plugin the videos can be played directly without downloading them first.
Changes since the last version:
- The downloader backend is now a separate server process. The user interface is no longer blocked while the plugin is waiting for a web server to respond. - Support for streaming - A new command line client that has the same capabilities as the plugin but can be used without VDR. - Alternative URLs for videos. For example, Youtube module first tries to download high quality version, and falls back to standard version if high quality version is not available. - Cleaning up of the XML menu scheme. New menu items: textfields, item lists, query buttons. - Status page that lists uncompleted downloads - Updated YouTube, Google, and SVTPlay modules to work with the recent changes on these sites

Maybe I'm just doing it wrong but compiling the usual way I'm getting
Plugin webvideo: ERROR: plugin webvideo doesn't honor APIVERSION - not compiled!
It does compile after linking webvideo-0.1.0/vdr-plugin to webvideo and changing the Makefile so that the relative paths for VDRDIR and LIBDIR match reality. Since the instructions don't mention anything about this I'm left wondering if you packaged the wrong version or something?

The (non-Debian) build instructions are indeed outdated. Sorry about that.
For now, the easiest way to compile is the following:
# Compile the plugin cd /put/your/path/here/VDR/PLUGINS/src tar -xzf /put/your/path/here/vdr-webvideo-X.Y.Z.tgz cp -r webvideo-0.1.0/vdr-plugin/ webvideo # <-- note: cp, not ln! mkdir -p /video/plugins/webvideo cp webvideo/mime.types /video/plugins/webvideo cd /put/your/path/here/VDR make make plugins
# Install the daemon and the webvi client cd PLUGINS/src/webvideo-0.1.0 mkdir -p /usr/share/webvid cp -r webvidaemon/services/* /usr/share/webvid python setup.py
And running:
# Start the daemon (must be running when plugin is in use) python /usr/bin/webvid -d -l/tmp/webvid.log
# Run VDR with the plugin ./vdr -P webvideo

I'm quite sure I'm doing something wrong but I followed your instructions to the point which leaves me at
# python setup.py
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands or: setup.py cmd --help
error: no commands supplied
# python -V Python 2.4.4
I'm not too deep into python so I'm kinda stuck here. I also tried with python2.5 which also is installed on my easyvdr 0.6.1 system to no avail.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

This is another error in the instructions. Instead of
python setup.py
it should say
python setup.py install
