Can u suugset me what should I do now.
To my untrained eye, that looks like the the vdr-xine plugin. You now need to leave vdr running like that, and start xine -p -s vdr (1), or start xine and click the "vdr" search-button.
Actually, I think you also want to use vdr -P'xine -r' to get keyboard control...
I believe the "softdevice" plugin does the decoding and display internally, but vdr-xine passes it to xine for decode+display, so y'need to run xine aswell.
You must use a vdr-xine enabled version of xine; check the keymap/key binding editor (right-click xine, settings -> Keymap Editor...), there should be entries like "VDR Red button". Skip the chapter on remote-learning, and adjust your keys here. (that ERROR about xineremote is by design, IIRC).
(1) I use "xine --post "expand:centre_cut_out_mode=1;vdr" -f -p -s vdr". Works quite nicely. Hope that helps.
Finally, please have a read through http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt section 3, and http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2005-June/002959.html
