Thanks Darren.
I got the 27/Jan xine-lib and xine-ui and recompiled as per the instructions on http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Xine-plugin with vdr-xine 0.7.0 and it now works. Hoo ray! I can watch the vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes stream.
I'd still like to get plain shell-text window control of VDR.
I tried calling the skincurses plugin, but it doesn't seem to work. Should I try DEBUG_OSD? If so, how? I understand you need to set DEBUG_OSD during compile? Do I put something in the VDR Makefile ?

Hi,

Hi. I'm making progress on getting VDR working the way I want. There's a colleague at work who uses the xine plugin for replay, and the DEBUG_OSD screen to remotely control vdr via ssh. This is kind of what I want to do, but have 2 problems. When I try and open 'xine -p vdr:///fifty/video/plugins/xine/noSignal.pes' Xine says unknown mrl: vdr://
This is not the way it is expected to be used ;-)
Adding --verbose=2 to running xine will show something like that:
gui_xine_open_and_play(): mrl: 'vdr:///soft/vdr/etc/vdr/plugins/xine/noSignal.pes', sub 'NONE', start_pos 0, start_time 0, av_offset 0, spu_offset 0. xine: Inputplugin gefunden: VDR display device plugin vdr: failed to open '///soft/vdr/etc/vdr/plugins/xine/noSignal.pes.control' (Datei oder Verzeichnisnicht gefunden) xine: Plugin kann MRL [vdr:///soft/vdr/etc/vdr/plugins/xine/noSignal.pes] nicht öffnen xine: Kann kein Plugin für MRL [vdr:///soft/vdr/etc/vdr/plugins/xine/noSignal.pes] finden
It bails out as the input plugin vdr expects several files with names derived from the given argument (e. g. in the above case noSignal.pes.control).
You don't have a patched xine-lib - apply the patch in vdr-xine and rebuild.
A previous post shows: xine --verbose=2 load_plugins: plugin /usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.0/post/xineplug_post_vdr.so found load_plugins: plugin /usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.0/xineplug_inp_vdr.so found
Anyway, just try:
xine vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes
Bye.
