In the new concept you doesn't need a cddb.sh script. You only
need a script to establish/handup your internet connection (see
examples/network.sh.example and -n/--network commandline
option). The CDDB connection is handled from inside the plugin.
The network script is called twice. Before network access (with
option "up") and 30s after last network access has finished
(with option "down").

The network script should not return before the connection
actualy has been established (is usable).

For further debug, please start VDR from a console (that you see
debug output, assuming you haven't disable DEBUG). Start replay
for a single track on CD once with local data and once without
local data. Mail me the console output.

I think the defaults are pretty self explanatory. Server gets the
server name (e.g. "freedb.freedb.org") and Port gets the connection
port on the server (usualy 888 for CDDBP).
