[vdr] MPlayer Problems (was: Re: Re: AW: Re: AW: Re: all in one patch)

["Dirk Wiebel" <dirk@wiebel.de>]

Hello Ruediger,

as you don't get any error messages, this seems to be a problem with
mplayer.sh.

mplayer.sh has to be executable (chmod 700 or 755 or ..., according to your
needs) and it has to be
- either in the /video0 (resp. /video) directory
- or in some location in the PATH variable of your VDR user (to see this
just type "echo $PATH")
- or in the directory given with the -M option of vdr.

It will probably _not_ work in the /etc directory, and it won't work in the
/usr/src/VDR directory, too.

If this doesn't help, be sure that the interpreter of the script is set
correcly. (The first line is something like "#!/bin/sh" -- so there must be
a command /bin/sh. I've seen really confusing systems where sh was located
under /usr/bin).

hth,

Dirk
