Actually cedarX hw decoding was another question I forgot in my previous post. I've read that it's working in linux but I didn't know if any output devices supported it (yet)?. Was hoping softhddevice does, or would if I sent Johns an A20. :)

For those of you using Raspberry Pi or Allwinner boards, how is osd performance? If the osd is fast & smooth, I'm interested in building a couple vdr setups like those (maybe Raspberry Pi 2. Rpi is just too slow). Any degrade in performance is a deal-breaker for me.
Thanks
Hi,
OSD performance is not an issue on an allwinnerA20, with one exception. I have 640GB SD recordings. The first time after VDR startup, opening the list with recordings is a bit slow (about a second). This is on a olimex A20 board, running both the VDR server and xineliboutput and vdr-sxfe.
Come to think of it, I heard codi (xbmp) has support for hardware decoded video playback on the A20, and vdr has support for xbmc via vdr-plugin-vnsiserver. Is there anybody who has taken this route? How did it go? http://linux-sunxi.org/XBMC http://kodi.wiki/view/VDR
the other route I heard of is VDR+softhddevice via vdpau and cedarX. Has anybody got this running on an A20? Does it actually yields accelerated video playback?
I have managed to use mplayer to playback my recordings using cedarX, but that's some time ago: https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=3560.msg14973#msg14973
