Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give NFS a try as well

Both the above players can play vdr files. I mount my recordings
directory over NFS. You can jump forwards and backwards, so not being
able to ffwd or rew isn't too much of a problem. However, if you try to
seek with the arrow keys in xine it always jumps to the beginning.  The
progress bar still works properly though; you can drag it. Seeking with
the arrow or PgUp/Dn keys in MPlayer works, but the amount it jumps each
time is a bit hit & miss.

True, but as far as I'm aware, you can't access recordings and FFwd and
Rwd etc...

Thanks for the pointer though

ISTR you can connect directly with MPlayer or Xine by streaming HTTP and
part of the URL tells it which channel to select.

Currently, if I install the xineliboutput plugin then there is no longer
any output to the TV via the dxr3.


For me it works, if I use the --primary switch on xineliboutput. 
However, I have a FF card. I can watch normally on the FF card as long 
as no xineliboutput client connects, and I can watch remotely with the 
xineliboutput client.


Since VDR can only handle one primary device, you cannot use both at the 
same time of course.


Cheers,

I suppose you could run both instances (one with streamdev-server and
the other with streamdev-client) on the server.

THanks for your reply. Ideally I'd like to be able to have the dxr3
working and xineliboutput simultaneously but the setup you have with
xine would do for now. I don't know how to get xineliboutput to become
the primary device and reconnect the dxr3 afterwards so I'll try xine on
its own.

Streamdev isn't quite what I want since you need a whole vdr install on
the client as well.

Thanks

I don't know how xineliboutput works, but I'm currently using a dxr3 and
xine (with the network patches). When xine is used (i.e. the client
connects) it becomes the primary device and there's no more output on
the dxr3, when xine disconnects output resumes on the dxr3.
If you want to see two different channels, one on the dxr3 and another
one via xine (or xineliboutput?) I'm afraid you have to use streamdev
server and a different vdr instance as a streamdev client. I don't know
the current status of streamdev though, and if what you're asking is
possible to do with a recording (probably yes if both vdr instances
share the same video directory).
