Yes, but my problems are

a) only very limited access to that VDR-box

b) I'm no C/C++-programmer (but I can tell you something about
modularization (to avoide side-effects) and draw you some nice
flow-charts of your planned software ;o) )

and c) I don't like pointers as a lot of guys use them but only very few
can really handle them.

Maybe that bug is related to the high-memory problem reported on the
linuxdvb-ML (although the machine has only 32 MB)?

The remote did not work. I didn't test av7110_ir_debug, but there was no
reaction from VDR on the remote (only on keyboard). Compile-options on
VDR have been VFAT=1 and NO_KBD=1 (using your remote-plugin 0.1.0).

Could it be a problem that I ran dvb-kernel driver while VDR has been
compiled with DVB-Head?
