[vdr] Re: Calling plugins derived from cOsdObject

Hi Klaus,

the idea was: I wanted to write a plugin from which one can launch other
plugins. The reason: Some plugins are not used very often, but can be
configured to appear/disappear in the main menu, e.g. femon, dvd, vcd. When
I disable them, but want to call them, I first have to go to the setup menu,
enable them, close the osd and reopen the osd. After using, the same
procedure to disable them. Of course, itīs not a big thing, but I thought it
would be nice to have a plugin, which always lists all other plugins and
allows to launch them, regardless if the appear in the main menu or not. The
whole thing was also meant as a little excercise for me in writing my first
plugin.

So I tried to call them in the same way as you do in the cMainMenu:

if (p) {
    cOsdObject *menu = p->MainMenuAction();
    if (menu) {
        if (menu->IsMenu())
            return AddSubMenu((cOsdMenu *)menu);
        else {
            pluginOsdObject = menu;
            return osPlugin;
        }
    }
}

But since pluginOsdObject is privat, I cannot do this the same way. Plugins
with menus work fine. 
My question: is there a way to launch plugins, that are derived from
cOsdObject?

Thanks,

Christian Wieninger
