This is just great news!!! Can I ask you where is the current version of
the plugin that you mentioned? Or do you mean the vdr_xine freevo-
plugin? The problem with that (for me) as I understand is that it
doesn't support directfb output. Or am I wrong? And I'm afraid the same
is also true for tvtime although I'd love to be able to use tvtime so I
could take advantage of the mpeg2 hw-decoding capability of my dvb-c
card.

Anyway, this really does sound good, so thanks!
