Hi,
I don't seem to get vdr-xineliboutput working at all on Gentoo.
I used to have vdr-1.6 branch with xineliboutput. Live TV was OK, but recordings were just unwatchable (vdr-sxfe losing the connection all the time, rewinding being a PITA etc..). So, I've used Mplayer to play those, and VDR just as a recording server. But this was very annoying, so I decided to upgrade to vdr-1.7 and try the vdr-xineliboutput cvs plugin, to see if it would work better. (I'm an ATI user, but judging from the symptoms, I suspect there was something very wrong with my installation, not jsut ATI-related problems).
But, now, I don't get a connection to the vdr-xineliboutput server at all! I just get the "No Signal" picture. Has anyonve on Gentoo got this working?
I'm using the vdr-devel repository in addition to stock portage. I have installed:
vdr-1.7.14-r1 (from vdr-devel) xine-lib-1.1.18.1 vdr-xineliboutput-9999 (the CVS ebuild from Gentoo portage).
I see the bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=296042. But it is inclear to me whether the ebuild in portage is updated or not... I will compare and see of course, but decided to post here to get some input from fellow users =)
Here's vdr-sxfe output. I'm running vdr-sxfe as a regular user (I've never got the local pipes working, anyone got an idea how / where to set the permissions?).
