This is probably an odd request but still!
Has anyone had a go at creating a plugin which provides a dummy DVB device? This may sound like a pointless idea but bear with me. I've just been setting up a slave vdr system for occasional use. With this, I'm nfs mounting the /video directory from my main vdr system, and its main use is for watching recordings whilst I'm upstairs on a TV with a nice interface, remote control, etc.
At the moment, I am using streamdev so that I don't get lots of "Channel not available" and "No DVB device" error messages popping up every few minutes! It would be much simpler to create a plugin which provides a dummy DVB device but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone else has already done this!
Not looked into this very deeply yet but would I need to create a fake DVB stream to send to vdr from the plugin or would it still keep on giving me the "Channel not available" messages?
Cheers,
Laz

AFAIR, an empty channels.conf should do the trick.
Bye.

Wrong 'end'! I was meaning a fake DVB input device rather than an output device: this is for a client with no DVB hardware, i.e. just for playback.
I think I can do it by just having a blank channels.conf,as someone else pointed out.
