[vdr] Addition to latest Announces

[Sascha Volkenandt <mailbot1@wat.willz.de>]

Hello,

since I've just adapted everything now I've found spare time, I'd like to 
inform everybody about the status of my developments.

Streaming-Plugin:
I've got a couple of printed emails specifying bugs in the plugin. I'll try to 
correct most of them in the next weeks. Since multicasting still doesn't run 
flawlessly in my network, I'm not able to test that stuff. I'd appreciate 
detailed error report concerning that one ;).
I didn't have time to look into the new cRingBuffer API yet, so I just took 
the patch posted on the ML recently. Thanks BTW for that one ;)

MediaDetect-Plugin:
Since Bernd Schweikert told me he doesn't plan to maintain this plugin at the 
moment, and since it is not a lot of code to be handled, I've taken that 
development and introduced the first change ;). I'm planning some additions 
on this one, too.

VDR2CDA-Script:
I've noticed this works only on PAL-Movies since the frame rate that is used 
to calculate from video- to audio-frames is fixed. I'll try to correct that, 
too

Cleaning Mainmenu:
I've posted a patch (Hide Main Menu Entry like in the latest VCD-PlugIn) to 
the author of the dvd-plugin, and I'm going to post one as well to the TVTV 
developer (since you don't need the mainmenu entry if you auto-update). I'll 
publish them on my page in the next days until the developers (maybe) release 
new versions implementing this.

New PlugIns:
I'm developing (out of a personal need) a plugin that behaves like the 
MPlayer-PlugIn, with the exception that the hard work (mplayer recoding) is 
done on a faster PC. I'll have to write a README, then I'll be able to 
release a (first) version of this.
I'm currently planning PlugIns that simulate input- and output-devices in 
order to have VDR run as a media station even without any special hardware. 
For Input I plan Network Streaming, and for Output I plan X11 and Framebuffer 
(maybe using mplayer).
I'm dreaming of a VDR that handles many DVB-Cards and broadcasts requested 
channels to client PCs all over the network, where all stations use VDR as 
the back-end as well ;)))

Well, so far ..........

Greetings,
Sascha Volkenandt
