A few months ago I have received a patch that adapts VDR to the Mac from Andreas Thiede (a.thiede at berlin dot de), but haven't had time to really look into it yet (shame on me - I'm permanently out of time...). Don't know if he's working with any of you. Anyway, if this is supposed to go into the main VDR source one day, it might be best if you join forces and agree on common solution. I would appreciate if the impact on the VDR source could be kept to a minimum by putting everything as far as possible into a separate compat.[hc] and avoiding tons of "#ifdef __APPLE__" all over the place.
