Yep: it's a right pain!

After bodging the aspect ratio to be fixed at 16:9, applying patches supplied 
elsewhere in this thread, and changing all of the gettext calls in 
libdvbsi/object.c to include sizes, (got lots of Makefile type dependency 
errors for jhi.h (I think...), I eventually got it to compile fully.

When I try to run vdr with this plugin, it throws up lots of DirectFB, ends 
with "Creating database" and then just sits there. 

This is with vdr-1.3.12, dxr3-0.2.3-pre2, ffmpeg-0.4.9.

Any clues?

Cheers,
