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.

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://:3000/Extern/.

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.


Regards,
Thomas
