Starting with streamdev 0.4.0, all additional files are kept in a directory
called "streamdev" inside VDR's plugin config directory. This affects in
particular the file "streamdevhosts.conf". You will have to move it to its
new location:
called "streamdev" inside VDR's plugin config directory. It is the new default
location of externremux.sh and the new place where streamdev-server expects the
file "streamdevhosts.conf". You will have to move this file to its new location:
mv VDRCONFDIR/plugins/streamdevhosts.conf VDRCONFDIR/plugins/streamdev/
(Directory VDRCONFDIR/plugins/streamdev already exists, as you copied the
whole folder from the sources directory as suggested above, right?)
The new default location for externremux.sh is also in this directory.
Now check the contents of streamdevhosts.conf. Does it contain a "0.0.0.0/0"
entry? If your VDR machine is connected to the Internet, this line gives
*anyone* full access to streamdev, unless you took some other measures to
prevent this (e.g. firewall). You might want to remove this line and enable
HTTP authentication instead.

If you want to access streamdev's HTTP server from the Internet, do *not* grant
access for anyone by allowing any IP in "streamdevhosts.conf". Instead, pass the
"-a" commandline option to streamdev-server. It takes a username and a password
as argument. Clients with an IP not accepted by "streamdevhosts.conf" will then
have to login. The VDR commandline will have to look like this:
vdr ... -P 'streamdev-server -a vdr:secret' ...
Note the single quotes, as otherwise "-a" will be passed to VDR and not to
streamdev-server. The login ("vdr" in the example above) doesn't have to exist
as a system account.
