I think there we have the problem, because the 0.0.4 script does
something like this:

exec $CMDLINE "$FILE" -
---------------------^^^
Here is the problem!
It calls mplayer with the actual file and a dash as arguments, which means:
play $FILE, then play the dash ("-"), which is STDIN. Because there's
nothing coming from STDIN, mplayer will wait forever, until it is killed.

Try the newest version from http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/VDR/
It has some more improvements and bug fixes and will scale better and
play more files than the 0.0.4 version.

Cheers,
