mvpvdr
What is it?
Completing the trio of servers is mvpvdr. It's a complete rethink on
the MVPServer approach in terms of portability whilst building on
several of the key ideas that it brought out.
Features
- File playback (with transoding using vlc)
- Image viewing/gallery
- VDR channels/recordings/epg
- On screen "search-and-scan" display during live TV
- Per dongle configuration
- Parental control of directories (PIN entry)
- Shoutcast, RSP (firefly), iPlayer support
- Python scripting
- telnet control interface
- HTTP interface for media and HTTP based players

Screenshots
Are available on the mvpvdr screenshots page.
Downloads
0.4.0 has been released, source and win32 installer is available from
sourceforge.
Latest code is available in the mvpvdr module in CVS - this is
recommended since libmvp 0.4.0 has a bug in url_http.c.
mvpvdr depends on some external projects: libevent (newer is better)
ImageMagick, SDL (optional), libid3tag (or taglib), libxml2 and vlc for
transcoding. cairographics is needed for freetype support.
Future Plans
- Better VDR integration - timer support etc
- Sort out rewind/forward stop it blocking
