Yes, i am aware of the streamdev-plugin, we have inofficial packages
of this plugin (and many other plugins) allready in our repositories:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-vdr-dvb/vdr/?rev=0&sc=0
http://www.e-tobi.net/wsvn/vdr-pkg/?rev=0&sc=0

It is planned to integrate a lot of these plugins in the official
archive but i guess most of this work will be done when vdr 1.4 is
stable. ;-)

I guess you installed the plugin manually, so both plugins are
installed, but you just need the -server plugin? With our inofficial
debian package, you would have the choice if you want to install the
-server, the -client or both plugins. ;-)

Well, i think it is much more user-friendly when every plugin which is
installed is loaded by default, if you do not want a certain plugin to
be loaded, even when it is installed, you can edit 
/etc/vdr/plugins/order.conf - in this file you can specify in which
order plugins will be loaded and you can disable certain plugins, in
your case a line like the following would be sufficient:

-streamdev-client

I hope this will solve your problem, so i can close this bug! :)

Thomas
