[vdr] mplayer plugin does not(still)work!

[Leonardo Borelli <l.borelli@cpr.it>]

I have compiled MPlayer with dvb option. I don't remember how to specify
plugin option within the VDR start command line. I try

VDR -P "mplayer -M /video/plugins" -d   (/video/plugins is the dir where
my mplayer.sh is located). Is it right?

But it still does not work. I see(in mplayer.sh)that the first call to echolog
function is located just at the beginning of the main and so i think that
i MUST see the string argument of this first function call. By running tail
-g /val/log/messages i can't see such a string. And so i agree with Juri
thinking that mplayer.sh is not called...any suggestion????

Thanks,
 
 Leo
