ISTR you can connect directly with MPlayer or Xine by streaming HTTP and part of the URL tells it which channel to select.
True, but as far as I'm aware, you can't access recordings and FFwd and Rwd etc...
Both the above players can play vdr files. I mount my recordings directory over NFS. You can jump forwards and backwards, so not being able to ffwd or rew isn't too much of a problem. However, if you try to seek with the arrow keys in xine it always jumps to the beginning. The progress bar still works properly though; you can drag it. Seeking with the arrow or PgUp/Dn keys in MPlayer works, but the amount it jumps each time is a bit hit & miss.
