Description:
This can be used to launch external players from main menu.

You have to specify at least a command (option "-c") and a main menu entry (option "-m")
as command line arguments. You may also want to switch off LIRC/KBD/RCU remote
controls using the "-r" option.

Example for dxr3player (German as default language):
vdr -P "externalplayer -c 'dxr3player -l de' -m DVD -r"

For now, you have to specify LIRC (or RCU) devices if you do not use the default values
(/dev/lirc for LIRC and /dev/ttyS1 for RCU). Otherwise these cannot be reactivated properly.
Hopefully I can change this soon.
