Actuator control requires a simple interface device for the computer to
control direction and power to a motor. This also requires a driver
which has already been made. Then there is the option to make a diseq
controller box that makes actuators look like rotors. They can be home made:
http://www.viara.eu/diseqc/ or premade.

Hello,
I would also love to see native rotor support. The plugin crashes all
the time with yavdr and is virtually unusable.
IMHO it depends on how those rotors are controlled. If they are controlled via DISEQ and VDR, for whatever reason, fails to send the required DISEQ commands, then VDR should be fixed to be able to do so.
If rotors have to be controlled using a completely different protocol, then this IMHO better should keep in a plugin for one simple reason: Just like the plugin, the rotor support in VDR itself will have to be fixed and updated in future. Someone will have to do this and as Klaus most probably doesn't have or use a rotor, I think he doesn't want to do that.
