There is no problem at all around this, it work,  I do not suggest any 
modification because vdr use perfectly osd feature !

I read Plugins.htm (great work and very useful), it's said to use 
OpenRaw(x,y); , but it's only possible to use it when osd is free, with 
cPlayer, it works!

To react with the keys, it's explained in Plugins.htm to use cControl 
and cPlayer but my problem was that the screen is black when using 
cPlayer even with hidden=true...

Thank you for you fast reaction !
