Hello all

10 days ago I already sent a patch with my new RemoteOSD video-filter 
plugin and I didn't get any answer.

I hope I will get anaswer  this time.

Here a short description of the plugin:

/*****************************************************************************
 * RemoteOSD uses the RFB-Protocol of VNC to display an On-Screen-Display
 * menu generated by a streaming server as overlay for the streamed video.
 *
 * The streaming server that implements this is the ffnetdev plugin for VDR.
 * VDR (VideoDiskRecorder) is an Linux based OpenSource harddisk recorder
 * software.
 * The VDR ffnetdev plugin emulates the hardware MPEG decoder and 
streams the
 * video over the network instead of hardware video outputs.
 * The OSD menu of VDR is offered with the RFB protocol to a VNC client.
 *
 * In fact this video-filter is a simple VNC client that could be also 
used to
 * connect to a real VNC host.
 * Only 8-bit color is supported at the moment.
 * Using password protected VNC hosts is supported but not recommended, 
because
 * you need to insert the used password in the plugin configuration page of
 * VLC configuration in plain text and it's saved in plain text.
