I think the point is the OP wants it to be built in to VDR instead of a
plugin. Personally I don't have a problem with having to use a plugin
for display, provided it's well supported and closely tracks core VDR
development. But I use the Debian packages (based on VDR 1.6 and xine
1.1) so I don't know how much hassle this causes when trying to use the
bleeding edge. It would be nice to have BBC HD and ITV HD if I could be
bothered to put in the effort. There are some unofficial VDR 1.7 debian
packages, but there seem to be about 3 sets, so what to choose?
Something more official in Debian's "experimental" section would be
nice.

I would get far more involved with VDR, particularly the Debian side of
things, but I decided some time ago it would never be quite the program
I want (nor are mythtv, freevo or gnome-dvb-daemon) and I'd rather write
my own rival, so I wouldn't be able to commit long term to maintaining
VDR plugins and packages.
