Hi, my first plugin :-), not really very useful, but perhaps you can need it: This is a little plugin, that allows you to select and start other plugins, even if there are not shown in the main menu. You can also access the setup menu of a plugin. I've written this, first as a little programming exercise and second, because I'm a little lazy :-) Some plugins are not used very often and have eventually a setup entry to hide them in the main menu. If one wants to use them now, its a little bit annoying to jump through the menus, enable them, use them and reverse the whole thing. The plugin shows a list of all other plugins and launches the selected plugin with the "OK" key or "Red" key. With the "Blue" key one can open the setup menu for the corresponding plugin. To exclude a plugin from the list (for example because it's already listed in the main menu) one can give a commandline argument '-x' when starting vdr: ... -'Plauncher -x plugin1 -x plugin2' ... This excludes plugin1 and plugin2 from the list. Build the plugin as usual: 1. Extract in to your PLUGIN/src directory. 2. Make a link to the directory 3. Compile the plugins Known Bugs: - the games plugin uses the same mechanism to call its 'subplugins' as this plugin. This leads to a problem when starting this plugin from within this launcher plugin. One has to start it twice :-( BTW: Klaus mentioned elsewhere, that he plans to insert a similar plugin entry in the main menu in future versions, that also will support 'subfolders'. So my plugin will become obsolete :-( But until that, perhaps someone thinks it´s usefull. Christian Wieninger
