Do you know what encoding format your provider uses for the streams? Play it with mplayer -v rtp://233.51.128.19:1234 to see the information.

Mplayer detects that your stream is transport stream, which is what vdr requires.
PARSE_PMT(28106 INDEX 0), STREAM: 0, FOUND pid=0x30 (48), type=0x10000005, ES_DESCR_LENGTH: 0, bytes left: 28 ...descr id: 0xa, len=4 Language Descriptor: deu PARSE_PMT(28106 INDEX 1), STREAM: 1, FOUND pid=0x31 (49), type=0x50, ES_DESCR_LENGTH: 6, bytes left: 17 ...descr id: 0x56, len=10 PARSE_PMT(28106 INDEX 2), STREAM: 2, FOUND pid=0x34 (52), type=0xffffffff, ES_DESCR_LENGTH: 12, bytes left: 0
This is the pid information vdr also requires in the channels.conf entry.
Searching for picture parameter set... H264: 0x128 OK!
This means that the stream is using h264 encoding.
I tried it with S0P0 and there was only a black screen shown and I could see the VDR menu on top of it. I also noticed the the following line was added to channels.conf. I do not know how it got there.
Das Erste;ARD:10:IPTV|S0P0|UDP|233.51.128.19|1234:P:0:0:49=deu:52:0:28106:1:1019:0
The line was added by vdr when it detected that the stream is in the format it supports. (Though I wonder if it shouldn't happen when disabling sid scanning with S0.)
It also means that iptv plugin is working and the stream in rtp format is really supported.
The entry contains 0 as the video pid which means that the channel is treated like a radio channel.
Changing to this channel with the up key, I could hear the audio, but instead of the video some kind of animation was shown. Those you can set up in your media players and which move to the audio.
This is what xineliboutput does when viewing a radio channel. It's called the goom plugin.
I think you are only missing h264 support from vdr core which could be the reason why the video pid of the channel is set to zero.
A patch for adding h264 support to vdr 1.6 -series is included in this mailing list post: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2008-March/016227.html
It's the vdr-1.5.18-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff.bz2 and it works for 1.6 even though the name suggests 1.5 version.
Vdr 1.7.x includes h264 support by default.
I just wanted to confirm that you were right all the way. I get video with VDR 1.7.7 (although I will have to tweak my system to get it fluent).
Thanks a million for your great and fast replies.
Bests,
