Shure.

Fine.

So MPEG-PES seems to work.

The problem might be (as mentioned in INSTALL), that VDR is running in remote 
teach mode. I'll supply my remote.conf in the evening, maybe you can get it 
work then.

Please try

	cat /video/xine/device0.vdr

If you see some garbage appear on the console, then my device forwards the 
data from VDR to xine. If it does not, then there is something wrong.

Please try the above command before you start VDR, because when VDR is in 
teach mode, there is no need for the plugin to transfer a lot of data and 
therefore you might not see anything on console if you start the two programs 
(cat and VDR) in the wrong order.

Isn't there a timeout after which VDR aborts teach mode and falls back to 
"normal" operation (e. g. transfer a live picture)?

Are there any people on the ML, that are familar with mpegtools? Can anybody 
supply me with an MPEG-PES stream, that only shows the VDR logo (or something 
similar) as a stillframe? I need this to have a stream running when VDR is e. 
g. in teach mode, so that the OSD gets visible.

Did you create all four fifos? I haven't checked yet what happens, when they 
do not exist. At the moment, four instances of the device are created and they 
try to open the four fifos over and over again.

I hope you like it, although there are a lot of things to improve, mostly in 
interfacing xine.

Bye.
