I hope you don't buy an eHD card since I don't believe it's the way to go and it would drive VDR in the wrong direction. I'm sitting here with a ???65 nvidia 8200-based motherboard playing 1080p videos with the cpu 97% idle using vdpau and ffmpeg! That's NOT software decoding if you ask me. And now that hdmi audio finally works with nvidia it's just awesome. I REALLY hope the xine guys will get this running soon. Btw, thanks to Klaus and the rest for all the work you put into this. /Magnus H

I'm sorry if you think I was "bashing" the eHD card or RMM, that was not my intention. What I meant was that I hope Klaus doesn't buy one because
I already have one ;-)
I think that would keep him in the "ff-card/one computer/one user"-thinking longer. If he switched to using xinelib/ffmpeg I think we would see a "separated vdr-backend with multiple frontends capability"-scenario a lot sooner, don't you?
My VDR is one machine with several DVB devices and hardware replay. As long as there is a way of having a good hardware replay, why shouldn't I use it?
Why would software replay in my VDR change anyting regarding "separated vdr-backend with multiple frontends capability"?
Besides, isn't there the streamdev plugin that provides signals to other clients? I've never tried it myself, but I was under the impression that this is what people use in such cases...
