Thanks Dominic your patch works great, it would have taken me a few years to come up with it on my own.
It looks like the author is no longer maintaining the plugin.
Which leads me to a question... Has anybody thought of keeping a repository of plugins that the author himself no longer seems to maintain and try to keep a patched version available so that it compiles on modern systems?

Anybody has managed to compile it? Ideally does anybody have a patched filebrowser plugin or a patch to get it to compile under vdr 1.7.15?
Try this http://github.com/oldmanuk/vdr-plugin-filebrowser or apply the attached patch.

I guess the e-tobi .deb packages could manage that by having the compile-fixes as a patch in debian/patches/

http://projects.vdr-developer.org/ already hosts several community-maintained projects, including some that are not maintained by their author any more. If filebrowser is really abandoned by its author, then it surely can find a new home there.

Holger Brunn filebrowser@vdr.nasenbaeren.net is active, he just applied my patch and pushed the version to 0.2.1 on http://vdr.nasenbaeren.net/filebrowser/
