That's what I meant by overlooking the obvious. I put the mplayer.sh
script to a folder that's included in the path and ofcourse it is been
found. Guess I could have come to this earlier.

Ofcourse, playing file with mplayer -vo dxr3 works just fine. When using
a simple mplayer.sh script like "mplayer -vo dxr3 -ao oss:/dev/em8300_ma
/home/khalid/video/futurama/Futurama_06.mpg" (adding -slave makes no
differece) works if I call it directly but does not work is vdr is
calling it I the dxr3 device is already in use.

Cheers!
