mplayercluster is a media player plugin for VDR, developed by Sascha Volkenandt, doing the cpu-intensive decoding and re-encoding on some other computer in the local network. The development of this plugin was abadoned after the 0.0.1a release, which stopped working on later VDR versions. I've done some small enhancements and fixed the plugin for newer VDR versions, provided here as patches:
