Neither way. Tvtime is just like a "viewer" for vdr. It connects via 
/dev/video0 to the DVB card and displays the picture on the grafik card 
output. Just like xawtv does...
There is no plugin needed. If one uses lirc, its possible to control 
tvtime (16:9 switching for example) with the remote control as well ( 
see http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/usage.html#tvtimecommand ).

It would be, however, very nice if we were able to connect mplayer and 
tvtime. So the mplayer-plugin's mpeg2 recoding (vo:mpegpes) wouldnt be 
needed anymore.
Any guesses for such a feature? Is it possible to use video4linux as a 
output device for mplayer (mplayer > /dev/video2 for example)?
