I regularly use the a constant set of following set of plugins: burn, extrecmenu, epgsearch, femon, lcdproc, live, osdteletext, skinsoppalusikka, streamdev and xineliboutput. I cannot come up with any reason for any plugin besides xineliboutput being critical for my normal use. And VDR can run by itself quite well even without xineliboutput. So there really is no reason for VDR not to start if any of those plugins above fail to start. In fact I am already wondering why plugins are not hot-pluggable... -Petri _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
