Sure, but I thought this is the normal logging (debugging) behavior in VDR. And I think the plugins are "part" of VDR,
hence they should use the VDR logging functionallity. 
Maybe this points out that the logging functionallity could be enhanced. Just my opinion.

But this is the state now, if I look into my syslog (debug enabled). Maybe seperate logging levels for each plugin would be nice.
