mplayer.sh for VDR

Latest version: mplayer.sh 0.8.7

Mplayer.sh is a shell script, that is to be used with the mp3/mplayer-Plugin for VDR. It takes the file name to play as the first argument. The optional second argument controls the use of the SLAVE mode for MPlayer.

Be sure to also read the FAQ, though there isn't much in it, yet...

If you have a fast computer (> 1500Mhz) you might want to set "FRAMEDROP" to false.
And definitely "SLOW_CPU" to false :)
If you have a slow computer (< 1000MHz) you will want to experiment with "XResPAL" and "XResNTSC". Start with deleting the last value of each line and see, if your machine is fast enough to replay all your videos. If not, repeat this step. Last resort is to set "SLOW_CPU" to true.

The following is deprecated and might go away. Please use the DVD- or VCD-plugin instead.
If you want to use the DVD or VCD support, you need to create a directory (e.g. /video/plugins/DVD-VCD). Then create two files called 'DVD' and 'VCD' in this directory ('touch DVD' and 'touch VCD'). It is important that these files are exactly named 'DVD' and 'VCD' (all in capital letters)!!! Now adjust the path and the DVD device in the mplayer.sh.conf and append the following line to your mplayersources file:

/video/plugins/DVD-VCD;DVD or VCD;0

That should be all.

Here is the ToDo list.

And the ChangeLog.
