Hi, There has been some progress around "vdrctl".

A reference implementation has been started on github: https://github.com/CReimer/vdrctl For the next vdr developer release I will send a patch so it will possible to print the commandline help of a single plugin instead of having the help of vdr and the given plugin. And maybe the help will have a (selectable) custom format, so it can be directly used in a conf-file. In the extended_edit-branch this help is embedded into the conf-file when invoking "vdrctl edit" (and is removed before saving it, just like git or mercurial are doing it with commit messages). A kind of useful tool, if you have made the work and split all the parameters across some files. Stay tuned... Lars. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
