Hello, softdevice team (Torgeir Veimo, Martin Wache and me, Stefan Lucke) is pleased to announce a new release of vdr softdevice plugin. General info: ? Softdevice plugin enables vdr to run on your desktop with ? so called budget cards. You'll get vdr output via framebuffer or X11-Xv or ? DirectFB or vidix to your screen. Decoding is done via ffmpeg.
