Re: [vdr] Streaming DVD contents from VDR?

[VDR User]

Why not just dump the dvd iso and play it with the vdr-mplayer plugin?
Or vdr-play plugin is that supports playing iso's directly.

 Hi,

 I have a minimal setup consisting of an old PC sitting in a different room,
 and a Samsung SmartTV in the living room. We rarely watch any DVDs in my
 family, so we do not have any dedicated DVD player.

 I used to use a DVD player plugin when the VDR PC was in the living room,
 attached to a TV, but I would prefer to have a mostly-headless setup (the
 VDR PC is only hooked to a VGA monitor, no sound output at the moment).

 I checked both the Streamdev plugin and the SmartTV plugin, but neither seem
 to support DVDs at the moment:

 I wonder if there is any easy solution to stream the contents of a disk in
 the DVD drive of the VDR PC over the local CAT5e cabling. I guess that an
 alternative solution could be to transcode the DVD into MPEG PS files, which
 could presumably be viewed on or streamed from VDR.

 Best regards,

 Marko

Hi Marko,

have you tried the xineliboutput plugin together with vdr-sxfe on the headless
box? It basically gives you a remote VDR display including the OSD. The
downside is, the DVD needs to be in the VDR PC in the different room... which
may not be what you want. 

(And yes, a simple headless solution that can access the headless VDR player's 
DVD
or Blu-Ray drive would be nifty ... NBD comes to my mind.)
