You have to start your X-server _before_ you may start vdr with softdevice and xv out.
The output above is from a term in kde, so I suppose the X-server should be running.
So vdr is running with another userid as you are logged in. 1. you need to set th DISPLAY variable (export DISPLAY=:0.0) 2. the user who wants to access your display needs permissions to do that For my tests, when running vdr from root I do sux which keeps authorisation to x-server contact.
For a client/server setup, you need streamdev plugin and connect your client via streamdev to your server.
Does that apply if client/server are running on the same machine?
You can do this even on the same machine.
But the error appears anyway, or do you mean it should vanish when using streamdev as additional plugin?
If you want to use vdr as a frontend / desktop application you don't need streamdev.
I'd like to use softdevice with a Geforce 6600 and TV-Out, if this could be better please tell me.
In vdr-wiki is also written that softdevice does replace the mpeg2-decoder and outputs directly on a framebuffer, output could then be on a monitor or tv-out (for that part streamdev is needed?)
Streamdev if only needed for transferring the dvb data from one vdr to another.
Maybe that is of some help: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2005-October/005510.html
