Thank you for your responses. I would be happy for any help offered and would gladly share any results I come up with. If anyone wants my diffs for building xinelib/vdr-fbe on PCH, please mail me.
For me, the overall goal is: - Get the functionality of a full VDR frontend on PCH
The current tech. idea is; - Use mono to display audio/video - Use custom directfb app to display xineliboutput VDR OSD and get lirc input
The initial tasklist as I see it: - Test mono with xineliboutput http access - Make a simple directfb app displaying some image and see if it can show it ontop of a running mono av-stream. - Hack vdr-fbfe/xinelib wildly to get OSD from xineliboutput onto PCH. - Possibly rewrite without using xinelib.
It might be good to locate the 'project' somewhere with a decent Wiki and SVN repository. Please suggest something.
Please note though that the time I can put on this is very limited, my VDR adventures is a very slow moving process, with family, house and work taking up most of my time.
