Quoting Nicolas Huillard nicolas@huillard.net:
The mplayer plugin seem very old and may not work neatly with the rpihddevice output.
As I understand the mplayer plugin, it just launches an external player - this won't work on the Raspberry Pi. But technically speaking, it shouldn't be that hard to write a plugin which browses through mkv files, reads them and passes the packets to VDR's output device by implementing a dedicated player class. But that's probably not the way you asked. ;-)
I wonder why this kind of plugin does not exists since all these years... The need and skills seem to be here. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do this. I'll check mplayer + omxplayer though.
Maybe simply moving the MKV files inside the recordings tree, and creating a vdr index for each work in some way.
Personally I convert mkv files to VDR recordings. Since you don't need to reencode anything this is quite fast and easy and you'll get all the comfort you're used from VDR. This even works for BD rips on the Raspberry, including subtitles and DTS sound tracks.
Can you please elaborate a bit on how you convert mkv to VDR ts ? I see a 2011 thread on a related topic, but tools may have evolved since then ;-)
Thanks for your answer !
