Hm, thats because we have (optionally) a separate lib for each output method, and we do load them dynamic. The reason for this is, that all methods could be build (on a build system), but not all additional libs required for a specific output method need to be present at a target system. Sound complicated. When linking all into one plugin lib, all libs must be present. But now libvdr-softdevice.so.1.4.0, has no reference to X11 libs or DirectFB libs. Perhaps we should make the 'sub', part of plugin name, but then vdr tries to load such a lib as a plugin 'vdr -h' I guess. -- Stefan Lucke
