Yes, that was exactly how I used to use the old vdr plugin, until I noticed at some Freevo version that it always ended up with freevo (python) hogging the whole CPU when df_xine was running. Well, after a while, neither df_xine or fbxine had a VDR OSD anymore when used with vdr-xine, so I gave up. > VDR-xine was a bit sketchy, and somone make xinelibout for VDR. > Xinelibout is great, adding another input method to xine, xvdr:// so you > could watch TV from client <- server.

Yes, and right now xineliboutput is also for me the only working video output method for VDR in my living room's htpc, where I only have DirectFB due to the Matrox G400 DH. And it's really working almost great (well, there is an issue with OSD scaling, but I can live with it for now. So I'm too very intersted in running both Freevo2 and VDR in a similar way, so when you get some time, please share ;-) > Good luck with the new job! > > Thanks, I'll send an update soon. :) > That's good to hear!
