Well, I'm not really used to the network patch, although I plan to 
integrate this functionality into release 0.8.0. At the moment I'm busy 
with other things and didn't find time to look at the network patches in 
detail.

As you wrote above, the patched vdr-xine does no longer create the FIFO 
files in the file system. So you have to choose a different MRL for xine 
to have it connect to vdr-xine via TCP/IP.

As far as I recall, the xine MRL looks like that:

	vdr-socket://localhost/stream

Bye.

I did try the vdr-socket based MRL and the regular MRL for xine.  I should point out, all works great without the network patch.
