[vdr] Re: dvd-plugin

[Stefan Lang <steven@organet.com>]

Hi List,

thanks for your help regarding this topic..... As I mentioned in my last 
mail: My Aopen rpc2 drive is now (or again?) a pioneer rpc1 drive and the dvd 
plugin is doing his job really great! Funny thing!
At this point again: A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE MADE THE WHOLE VDR 
SYSTEM POSSIBLE!!
