I got a simplier idea for creating a low-budget-card VDR-Box by using
MPlayer as output-backend.
Can you add functions to your MPlayer-patch which do not send the
A/V-stream to the DVB-driver but to stdin of MPlayer (the MPlayer-patch
could start a MPlayer instance when starting VDR).
In setup.conf could be a option (e.g.)
'MPlayerOut = -vo xv -ao oss -fs -npp ci ...' for VGA/OSS-out, or
'MPlayerOut = -vo mpegpes -ao mpegpes ...' for DVB, DXR2/3, H+ -out.
Mplayer patch would start MPlayer with 'mplayer $MPlayerOut -slave'
By using '-slave' you could send commands such as Volume from VDR to
MPlayer embedded in the A/V-stream with '\n'.
This is relatively easy, but the problem is the OSD. So I got the idea
to encode the OSD to subtitle and mux it into the MPEG-stream before
passing to MPlayer-stdin.
In that way we could use all output-devices of MPlayer (DVB, DXR2/3, H+,
VGA ...) with cheap WinTV Novas.
I think many people with low budget, VDR-servers or beamers would be
happy then.
