Description
A Plugin is an extension of VDR.
Therewith functions can be added, that are beyond the scope of VDR, or implements existing ones different. Examples are e.g. the teletext-plugin, or the dvd-plugin. Plugins are mostly released as source code. In contrast to a patch, the source code of VDR itself is not altered.
Installation
The basic installation procedure of all plugins is described in Plugin installation. Specialities, like configuration files or dependencies, are explained on the paticular plugin page or it's README file.
