VDR MP3/MPlayer Extensions 0.10.0

VDR MP3/MPlayer Extensions let you play MP3s with Video Disk Recorder and provide a frontend for MPlayer so you can use a DVB card to play files in formats like AVI, ASF, QT, MOV, VIVO, FLI, and FLC.

VDR MP3 plugin adds sound playback capability to VDR by Klaus Schmidinger.

Supported audio codecs:

- libmad Supports MPEG-1/2/2.5 with layers 1/2/3.
- libsndfile Supports MS WAV/A-law/u-law; Apple/SGI AIFF/AIFC; Sun/NeXT AU/SND; Amiga IFF/8SVX/16SV and more.
- libvorbis Supports Vorbis/Ogg.

The MP3 plugin is distributed as a dual-plugin together with the MPlayer plugin. The different audio codecs require additional support libraries.

VDR MPlayer plugin adds the ability to call MPlayer from within VDR (by Klaus Schmidinger), allowing to replay all video formats supported by MPlayer over your DVB card.

Note: for most formats MPlayer has to do on-the-fly transcoding to MPEG1. This requires a decent CPU to work (>1Ghz). It may work with slower CPUs if you tune down the transcoding quality.
