No good idea to make it dependant on a file system ...

That would be great. For STBs oXine would be a nice solution. And we
could use the plugins of Xine instead of building extra-plugins for VDR.

I'd suggest you to just modify the rtsp-plugin for xine and the
stream(dev)-plugin for VDR. That way you easily get a
RTSP/RTP-connection.

Please contact Sascha Volkenandt, he'll certainly help you.
