Description:
This plugin allows using a Griffin PowerMate to control some of VDR's
functions through the mapping of remote control keys to PowerMate actions.

Since version 0.0.2 you can specify different key bindings for several
contexts of VDR (Normal, Menu and Replay).

You can specify the PowerMate's device through command line parameter -d
(default:/dev/input/event0):

  vdr -P'powermate -d /dev/input/event1'
