Hi,

I do.

   

Do you use an Xtreamer device as a frontend, what are you using to achive this?

 

I am using a PCH-A110 device with vdr-ui running on a separate server (for better integration). Channels are served using the standard streamdev plugin.
The only drawback is the necessity to quit (close) the running stream and go back to the vdr-ui selection page each time you want to change to another channel.

I have managed to build a jsp playlist with all VDR channels, but channel change is not quick enough to bring a good `surfing` experience with this method.

Using xineliboutput you can watch the `live` stream and change channel without quitting the player but the mono pmt parser fails sometime to get the new pids (tested with soft and hard demuxerm. m2ts and pes container). I am convinced that this is the best way to have an acceptable switching time between 2 channels reusing existing player with low key/remote dev (directfb keyb app to redirect remote key to VDR app).
