I should let on that I'm the developer and I've been using it a lot. I started writing it back before VDR had a media player, so some sort of frontend was really needed; even now I think boxstar has a lot of advantages over VDR's media player, but VDR, especially with the xineliboutput plugin, did improve a lot so I wasn't motivated to develop boxstar's own DVB support. Now I've got a DVB-S card and a DVB-T card together, VDR's channels management just isn't good enough, so because of all sorts of other niggles and because I don't like C++ enough to make big changes to VDR I want to press ahead again with boxstar's DVB support. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
