 Automatic Loading of Plugins
 ----------------------------
 
-When starting vdr with "/etc/init.d/vdr start", for each plugin found in
-/usr/lib/vdr/plugins the appropriate command line argument -P<plugin_name>
-will be created automatically.
-
-If a file /etc/vdr/plugins/plugin.<plugin_name>.conf exists, it will be
-parsed for command line arguments for the specified plugin. This file may
-contain comments prefixed by a "#" and the command line arguments may also be
-distributed across several lines.
+When starting the vdr daemon, it will search in /etc/vdr/conf.d for plugin config
+files, optionally containing command line parameters passed to these plugins, and
+and load these plugins.
 
+Usually the files in /etc/vdr/conf.d/ will be symlinks to the real config files 
+in /etc/vdr/conf.avail/. By deleting or renaming these symlinks, a plugin can be
+disabled or the plugin load order can be changed.
