[vdr] Re: error using mplayer and dxr3

[Morfsta <morfsta@irmplc.com>]

I have written code directly into mplayer plugin source to do the release
of the dxr3 device from VDR prior to running mplayer and this works! I can
now watch mplayer files directly from the VDR OSD. :-)

Is anyone interested in a patch?

Cheers,

morf
