This is a proof-of-concept frontend for VDR usage on the Nokia 770 
Internet Tablet. It connects to a VDR instance on the network via SVDRP
and receives a channel list. This is atrociously slow - it typically takes
15 seconds before the GUI appears. I have no idea why.

The channel list is displayed on the device, and mplayer is launched to view the
selected channel.

The device itself is not powerful enough to decode 720x576 MPEG2, so
mplayer is pointed at a cgi which uses mencoder to transcode to a low
bitrate, low-resolution MPEG4. Audio is passed through unchanged since
the 770 has MP2/MP3 audio decoder in hardware, which is a nice bonus :)

Worry about getting the CGI working before going near your 770 / 800.

i.e. point mplayer on a desktop PC at it.

http://x.x.x.x:yy/cgi-bin/nokia.cgi?ZZZ where ZZZ is the VDR channel number

Then edit 'vdrview.py' and change the 2 hardcoded IP addresses. The VDR IP
and the cgi IP can be on different machines. Also edit nokia.cgi as required;
I have set '-ofps 10' and lots of 'prefer poor quality' options 
because my VDR box only has VIA C3 800Mhz CPU.

I have included 'telnetlib.py' and the 'vdr' directory because these
files would otherwise require 'python2.5-dev' (or 2.4-dev) installed
on the 770 which eats 5MB of precious storage.

Please send patches / improvements to gdh@acentral.co.uk. There is no TODO
list because the software fulfils all my requirements at the moment.

Cheers,
Gavin.
