[vdr] Re: Possible VDR Client? -> Pinnacle ShowCenter

["Harald Strauss" <h_strauss@t-online.de>]

Hello,

are there new realizations over the combination VDR / ShowCenter? 
Already could someone view the VDR Stream in the ShowCenter?

I guess Pinnacles looks better :-) It's in a very slim, 19" wide brushed

aluminum case with blue lights!

Same to me. I got it to work with Apache and some mpeg-files on the
server. 
Now I've to manage to get the vdr-streamdev-plugin to work. Hm, I'm not
sure 
what I have to do cause the Showcenter plays a direct link to a file on
the 
webserver smooth but hangs if I give a link to the streamdev-server.
AFAIK 
the Showcenter plays a movie like a Browser downloads a file...

Cheers,
Carsten
