on Gentoo there is vdr-mplayer plugin, it is basically a script that calls
mplayer as the plugin, it only works for people that use a FrameBuffer or
DVB Hardware output device. Now from what I understood at the time is that
there are to methods for invoking mplayer there is a mplayer.sh and a
mplay.sh script both have different settings and you have to choose which
one of the 2 to use.
Gentoo information:
media-plugins/vdr-mplayer
Available versions: 0.10.0 ~0.10.1
Homepage: http://www.muempf.de/
Description: VDR Plugin: api to mplayer
Hope this is of any help to you.
