Requirements

Installation

Install the plug-in part as usual (see vdr docs if you don't know already). For the still picture the file cd.mpg must be copied from the contrib directory:

        mkdir $VDRCONFIG/plugins/cdplayer
cp $SOURCEDIR/VDR/PLUGINS/src/cdplayer/contrib/cd.mpg $VDRCONFIG/plugins/cdplayer

Support for graphtft

For graphtft-support enable "DEFINES += -DUSE_GRAPHTFT" in the Makefile or add this line to the Make.config file of the VDR otherwise graphtft will not display the play list.
