Thanks to Tom and Mirko from the LinVDR Project for providing the packages.

See the file COPYING for license information.

Description:
-------------------------------
Manual displays the content of the file manual-base.xml and optional
manual-XXX.xml files on the OSD.
Both sound and video are played in the background.

To create a manual-XXX.xml file read the file manual/xml-examples.
New manual-XXX.xml files must be stored in the UTF-8 data format.

To create a help menu do something like this (currently untested):

  #include "../manual-<version>/manual.h"

  cPluginManual *p = (cPluginManual *)cPluginManager::GetPlugin("manual");
  cOsdMenu *helpmenu = p->HelpByRef("manual-xxx.xml", "ref");
  

Installation:
-------------------------------
1. unpack the tarball to .../VDR/PLUGINS/src directory

2. to compile the plugin, type
   make plugins (from VDR's source directory)
 or
   make all (from the plugin's source directory)

3. copy the 'manual' subdirecory to VDRconfigDir/plugins/
   Afterwards, the structure should look like this:

   VDR Config Directory (eg: /video)
    |
    +- plugins
    |   |
    |   +- manual   (contains manual-XXX.xml files)
    .   .
    .   .
