Did you use a cControl-Derive to control your cPlayer? In "usual" plugin terms 
the player is attached automatically (I suppose) when your cControl-Class 
calls 
cControl(player = new cPlayer)
in the Constructor. I say I suppose, because I never had to atatch a player 
manually.

The cControl must be launched (to gain control over vdr) via cControl::Launch

Hope to have helped,
