Now I want a variable or array at the top of the script so I could
easily add, remove and comment plugins... rewriting the above example:
vdrplug=(-Pfemon
-Psoftdevice -vo xv:full -ao alsa:mixer:pcm=default
)
$vdrbin -L $vdrlib ${vdrpl...@]}
The correct way to place every array element as one parameter, without
doing any additional whitespace separation, is this:
$vdrbin -L $vdrlib ${vdrpl...@]}
In contrast, ${vdrplug[*]} merges all to one parameter, ${vdrpl...@]}
does another whitespace separation run.
runvdr extreme also uses a bash array for building the command line.

What makes that correct? Just sounds like a different (and more
complicated, ..I guess) way to accomplish the same end result, but no
more correct then using double/single quotes.
I'm no bash expert but STRING=$STRING -P'asdf arg' works equally as
well as ARRAY=( ${arr...@]} new item ) in my experience. What am
I missing?

Correct in the sense of using arrays to build up a command line, not in
a sense of The One And Only Solution (tm).

Well, not much, except that I would do it this way:
PLUGINS[${#PLUGINS[*]}]=-Psoftdevice -vo xv:full -ao
alsa:mixer:pcm=default
For a more complex (and a bit constructed) case:
PLUGINS=$PLUGINS -P\hello --aaa=\\\A B C
or
PLUGINS=$PLUGINS -P'hello --aaa=\A B C\'
or
PLUGINS[${#PLUGINS[*]}]=-Phello --aaa=\A B C\
or
PLUGINS[${#PLUGINS[*]}]=-Phello --aaa='A B C'
Arrays have the advantage that they spare one level of quoting, don't
need eval, and are a bit more 'ordered', but on the other hand are
bash-only, and cannot be exported to sub-shells.
(runvdr extreme has a quoting function, so you do it with even less
quoting like this: AddPlugin hello --aaa=A B C)

Re: [vdr] VDR plugin options
Use double-quotes to surround your plugins and single-quotes for plugin options. For example: VDR=$vdrbin -L $vdrlib PLUGINS=-Pfemon -P'softdevice -vo xv:full -ao alsa:mixer:pcm=default' eval $VDR $PLUGINS ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
