Hi,

Something else to try: GTK+ (fb port) with gxine. I'd be interested in knowing how well this works and in any patches for gxine which are needed to make this work (if it doesn't already).
This is a bit off-topic but perhaps not totally:
I haven't tried fb but instead a minimal X running as 2nd session by enabling one more session and automatically logging in user vdr through gdm.conf settings. The problem with gxine is that command line parameter "-f" doesn't work trough my .xsession script. I think I got a full screen mode but no video (black screen, I don't remember what happened to audio). Gxine also seems to require a window manager so I started metacity as well. This same .xsession script works without "-f" for gxine. Similar script works with xine-ui and it doesn't require a window manager. Gxine has a very nice user interface, it would be good if this could be corrected.
The versions I tested were about two weeks old cvs versions of libxine and gxine.
Here is my .xsession
