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

You mean - like http://users.tkk.fi/~phintuka/vdr/vdr-dummydevice/ ?

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.
