XINEPLAYER
==========
xineplayer is a companion of vdr-xine and is used to get the beloved mplayer
plugin working with vdr-xine. I. e. you'll be able to replay DivX movies 
directly through xine without the need for CPU expensive recoding. And you'll
still be able to continue using VDR's OSD while the external file is playing.

To get it working just install the mplayer plugin. Then edit it's "mplayer.sh"
and replace

# where to find mplayer
MPLAYER="mplayer"

with

# where to find mplayer
MPLAYER="xineplayer"

and now you'll only have to make sure that xineplayer is found by your shell.
xineplayer was built in vdr-xine's source directory so you'll either have to
copy it to a directory which is contained in your environment variable PATH or
just enter the absolute path to xineplayer into mplayer.sh as mentioned above.
That's it.

NOTE: xineplayer is still under development and currently only supports
      mplayer plugin's TRADITIONAL mode. Furthermore it ignores any parameter
      given on the command line besides the last one and expects this to be a
      MRL recognizable by xine (e. g. a filename). If xine doesn't know how
      to play the given MRL you'll only see an error message on xine's console.

As vdr-xine supports an instance number to create an unique FIFO directory it
will also necessary to tell this number to xineplayer to have it control the
right instance of vdr-xine. xineplayer's command line looks like that:

xineplayer [ --vdr-xine-instance=N ] [ options ] mrl

NOTE: "--vdr-xine-instance" must be given as the first argument as it might
      otherwise collide with further options originally intended for mplayer.
