Bug#330386: plugin-loader: should not load all available plugins

[Dominique Dumont]

Package: vdr
Version: 1.3.31-2
Severity: normal

Hello

I'm trying to use the streamdev plugin the debian way.

This plugin provides a way to transmit received video over network by
providing a server plugin and a client plugin.

One vdr is set up as a video server with '-P streamdev-server'.
 Another vdr can be set up as a video client with
'-P streamdev-client' (or one can use another video client like vlc).

Unfortunately, the plugin-loader script will load both plugins when I start
the vdr daemon with /etc/init.d/vdr:

root     30781 30750  0 22:33 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/sbin/runvdr -v /mnt/video/vdr -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-shutdown-message -E /var/cache/vdr/epg.data -u vdr -g vdr --port 2001 -w 60 -P streamdev-client -P streamdev-server

Can I suggest that plugin-loader.sh loads only plugin that have a
corresponding *.conf file in /etc/vdr/plugins/ (even if the file is
empty because no special option is required)

This way I will be able to start a vdr daemon with only streamdev-server. 

Cheers
