There is a statement from him in German:
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=463154#post463154
For those who don't understand German a brief summary: He is currently quite
busy and therefore concentrates on one plugin only, which is the burn plugin.
He doesn't want to let streamdev out of his hands, however he would appreciate
it if someone else would become a maintainer with equal rights.

AFAIK there's no second maintainer yet. At least the modifications for VDR 1.4
and a few bugfixes have been commited in the meantime.

Those interested in vdr-to-vdr streaming might have noticed, that I started
off to provide replacements for some of the vdr-to-vdr related menu features
of streamdev. With remoteosd and epgsync two plugins are already available and
there's more to come. Sascha Volkenandt agrees that it makes sense to move
these features into dedicated plugins.

Most streamdev related discussions take place in vdr-portal.de. Although
almost all posts are in German, you can of course post in English, too.

This is correct. VTP is quite similar to SVDRP and is used for vdr-to-vdr
streaming (i.e. by the streamdev-client). The HTTP port allows streaming to
clients such as mplayer. Several different stream formats are supported.

[vdr] Some information about the Streamdev plugin wanted

[Torsten Schlabach]

Hi all!

I am currentry trying to make the Streamdev plugin work, especially in 
non vdr-vdr setup, but more to establish a general streaming source on 
my network in order to use PCs and or standalone streaming clients with 
it, but my mileage is very limited.


In other words:

Sometimes I managed to get a radio channel streamed, sometimes I didn't.

I am currently using vdr 1.4.0 together with a fresh CVS checkout from 
the CVS at vdr-developer.org (as of yesterday).


Maybe someone could be so kind as to help me with some general information:

1. Does Sascha Volkenandt still develop the plugin? In the README file 
on the CVS his site http://www.magoa.net/linux/index.php?view=streamdev 
is still mentioned, but this hasn't been upgraded for quite a while and 
the move of the CVS to vdr-developer.org looks like someone else has 
adopted this ??


2. Is this mailing-list an appropriate place to discuss usage and 
further development of the plugin? I am still struggling to understand 
how linuxtv.org, vdr-portal.de, vdr-wiki.de and vdr-developer.org 
relate. Some of them seem to belong together somehow.


3. Is there any documentation except the PROTOCOL and README files in 
the source tree?


4. Did I understand correctly that the streamdev server can be used in 
two *different* ways, 1. through the VTP procotol (as described in 
PROTOCOL), through default port 2004 and 2. independent of VTP through 
HTTP on port 3000?


Regards,
Torsten
