Is the code to grab a image already inside the vdr sources?
I guess with normal viewing this is difficult to do (vdr does not
have access to the I-Frames), or is a API call available for that?
With replaying it's easier for VDR (and different from viewing) -
it just have to save the actual I-frame.

What are your plans for the color keys in normal mode?
