What I want to achieve :
A prefer channel list menu, pressing a button in normal viewing mode (or 
select entry in main menu, that's not a pb for the moment) a small menu 
appear on the screen and you select your channel with the arrows (up and 
down) and ok. That's all. I don't want to use the standard menu design 
because I want a small menu, on the left...
I began the plugin on vdr-1.0.4, patching it and accessing osd directly 
by raw command (Cmd function), it worked, but now I want to write it 
with the new plugin interface...
I hope you'll understand.
Thank you very much for spending your time.
