Here you go!

Just put them in the right categories as mentioned above, and don't
forget  to place the confd to the plugin's ${FILESDIR} and the makefile
patch to that of the webvi library ${FILESDIR} before generating the
manifests...

Of course, these are just quick shots, who knows, maybe dependencies are
still not correct, but as of version 0.2.1 they work in my vdr-1.7.11.

I also have some other feedback to the author:

How could other sites like http://plus7.arte.tv or the "Mediathek" of
ZDF or 3sat be added to the templates?

Is it possible to to implement that the plugin's OSD "remembers" where
it was left when last accessed in the current VDR "session"? It's a bit
tedious to navigate through all menus again and again.

If a search did not give the desired results, it would be useful if a
new attempt would still hold the old search keywords to be able to
slightly modify them instead of "typing" them again.

Otherwise, really nice and interesting plugin which actually works with
youtube, unlike the ones I've tried with XBMC where they crash all the
time...
BTW, how does it handle multiple quality versions of youtube videos,
does it pick "HD" or "HQ" by itself?

Cheers,
Lucian

Thanks for the Makefile patch. I'll include it to the next release.

One would need to create XSLT templates that take the pages from the
website as input, extract URLS of video streams and links, and output
them in the format understood by the plugin. There is (quite minimal)
documentation in doc/xslt, but it may actually be easier to see existing
templates, for example youtube.

I am willing to add support for more video sites to the package if
somebody contributes working templates.

You can use the green "forward" button to quickly follow the latest
navigation path.

Yes, I agree that it should remember the entered text. The command line
client actually already does this, just the VDR plugin is still missing
the functionality.

It downloads the best available quality. I'm planning to make this
configurable so that if you have a slow connection you might want to get
the low quality version always, or you might want to download HQ but
stream in LQ.
