Just some Python I knocked together - don't expect the world. It reads a channel list via SVDRP, shows the list, and launches mplayer with the appropriate arguments.
Requires python and mplayer on the Nokia, VDR with streamdev-server and a machine (perhaps the VDR machine) with a CGI-capable webserver (I use thttpd) to transcode from MPEG2 -> low bitrate MPEG4 so the 770 can play it.
There's no easy .deb to install - just a tarball, I dunno how to make packages for Maemo yet. Good luck.
Cheers, Gavin.

Sounds really great, i allready had the same idea, but i did not have the time to implement such a program. Right now i just have a small shell-script which launches mplayer with the right URL and parameters.

I think that this part is not really required, because the streamdev-server-plugin (the cvs version since at least may) allready supports external scripts for transcoding the video-stream. The script i am using is attached to this mail. (By default streamdev-server looks for the script in /root/externremux.sh.) (Settings are 400x240, 23,976 fps, which runs very well on my N800.) The URL you must call with mplayer is http://<vdr-ip>:3000/Extern/<channelnumber>.

I would like to help you with improving the program, i can especially help with creating a Debian package for it.
I would suggest you to create a project on https://garage.maemo.org/ there you would have a subversion repository, bugtracker, webspace... for your project and other people could help you with the program.

I did consider the Extern support, but this limits the software to running on the same machine as VDR, and I didn't really want to get into a if-then-else construct in describing the setup :)

Thanks - I appreciate that :)

Hm, I hadn't thought of going that far, to be honest. Primitive though it is, the program fulfils my needs at the moment :) I'll certainly consider it, tho.
Cheers, Gavin.
