I'm new to vdr and am now trying to set up my first system. I don't have a ff-card and decided to use a NVidia graphics card to connect my system to the TV (I considered using a DXR3, but I want to play DIVX movies as well, for which my computer is too slow). So, i am trying to install the xineliboutput-plugin. I downloaded, compiled and installed the 0.99rc5 version from the homepage, all with no errors. When I try to start vdr as mentioned in the README, the program immediately stops without any message. In var/log/messages, I found the following error message: sudo vdr -P"xineliboutput --local=sxfe --video=xv --noremote"

I use an Ubuntu Dapper Linux with the official xine-package. The xine input plugin is installed properly in the plugin-directory: ls /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.1/xineplug_inp_xvdr.so /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.1/xineplug_inp_xvdr.so
Jens,
I've just been writing some docs describing the way I set up VDR / Xineliboutput on Ubuntu Dapper / Debian Unstable. The docs that you probably want to read are:
http://linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/DEBIAN_Compiling_VDR_Source_Packages http://linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/DEBIAN_Configuring_VDR
...it works for me, but I was writing some of it from memory, so I'd be interested to know if you can follow it.
Feel free to edit it if you spot mistakes.
HTH,
