I know, it's not a proper answer for your problem, but I think at the moment the best native vdr client is a Raspberry Pi with Thomas Reufer's great plugin. It's small, cheap and (using with vdr) it's fast.
I moved from vdr-sxfe to rpihddevice with all my 3 clients in the house.

Hi,
I am currently using xineliboutput, and I'm using it with "--local=none" everywhere so I can attach and detach from anywhere in the LAN, even from the PC VDR is running on. It's working quite nicely this way.
Upside: No local configuration on any PC, no concurrency issues with timers, channel updates etc.. just call "vdr-sxfe <host>" and you're in the game. Downside: Multiple connected clients at the same time get the same programme, OSD, etc. [skippy/hanging video for adapting to the different client speeds, OSD sizing issues for different client resolutions]
Is there an equivalent solution which I read to be a more recent/better supported alternative? AFAIK softhddevice is similar to xineliboutput but lacks remote features, behaves like xineliboutput with "--local=sxfe --noremote", but I could be wrong. This doesn't look like a viable alternative to my current network architecture.
While streamdev and VNSI/XVDR solve some of the issues, most notably the multi-client dependency, they create new ones. No native OSD with VNSI/XVDR, VDR configuration synchronization hassle with streamdev.
Is there any other thin-client streaming solution with native VDR OSD available?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
- Matthias
