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!
Thanks
Simon

There's an experimental softplay plugin in the softdevice cvs repo at softdevice.berlios.de. It might not work with vdr-xine though.

Try mplayer-plugin + xineplayer which comes with vdr-xine, read the vdr-xine MANUAL for further details.

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
Bye, Martin
Hi I've been using the mplayer-plugin + xineplayer to play .avi files from within VDR, but it's frustrating not being able to pause, rewind or fast-forward the clip from the remote.
I'm sure there must be a way to do this, to pass IR commands to xineplayer - has anyone got this working??
Thanks

1) Do you have mplayer patched for slave mode (mplayer-1.0pre2-slavemode.diff) 2) Do you have slave mode enabled in the mplayer plugin options
BR, C.
I've actually replaced 'mplayer' with 'xineplayer' in mplayer.sh
As my budget Nova-T card has no mpeg2 decoder, I'm using xine as a soft device. Didn't see much point in calling mplayer, when xine is already running
