[MPlayer-dvb] Feature Request: Electronic program guide

[Phillip Berndt]

Hi,

most players use the EPG information [1] from DVB streams to display a
short "On air / upcoming" message after tuning to a channel. It would
be nice to have that in mplayer (In OSD + printed to the console)

There is at least one OSS utility for EPG extraction [2], so it should
be possible to implement this without too much effort (i.e. without
reading through tons of specifications :))
