Plugins

Description

A Plugin is a program extension of VDR, which can be reloaded as a library at runtime of the program.

A plugin only needs to be recompiled if the plugin interface API version has changed in VDR. Some plugins are dependent on additional VDR patches in order to achieve the desired function.

Installation

• see Plugin Installation
• Special features are described on the corresponding plugin page.
