Maybe a streamosd plugin could provide what you need.
I can't find further information about that with Google. Is that an existing project?
So, I'm not really having problem with VDR's OSD. I just want three independent user interfaces to each HTPC/television.
I was merely suggesting a new type of plugin that allows a remote client to access and control the osd instance of the vdr server. The reason this is a problem is that vdr only have the notion of one osd instance, and streamdev doesn't really provide a way of controlling this osd.
Yeh, for separate UIs - independent clients, you'd need a single backend which has the DVB cards, and a series of 'frontend' VDRs (even on the same PC) which each export a UI .. and then use streamdev to shuffle video data. I never trusted streamdev as a reliable plugin for a long time, but it now appears to be quite robust and still under active improvement.
Of course sharing recordings / timers adds the usual levels of complexity, but I don't forsee VDR becoming a full client/server architecture any time soon so it's likely the best solution for some time..
Cheers, Gavin.
