Thanks for the Makefile patch. I'll include it to the next release.

One would need to create XSLT templates that take the pages from the
website as input, extract URLS of video streams and links, and output
them in the format understood by the plugin. There is (quite minimal)
documentation in doc/xslt, but it may actually be easier to see existing
templates, for example youtube.

I am willing to add support for more video sites to the package if
somebody contributes working templates.

You can use the green "forward" button to quickly follow the latest
navigation path.

Yes, I agree that it should remember the entered text. The command line
client actually already does this, just the VDR plugin is still missing
the functionality.

It downloads the best available quality. I'm planning to make this
configurable so that if you have a slow connection you might want to get
the low quality version always, or you might want to download HQ but
stream in LQ.
