Hi all,
I don't want this to seem ungrateful or overly critical, but I find when I use vdr-xine (not even network vdr-xine) there is an additional 2-5 second latency on-top of normal delays before channel changes show up in the window. With softedevice, there is almost no delay, channel changes occur <=1.5 seconds.
I've disabled all vdr-xine buffering (through OSD), hysteresis, etc, but the delay still persists.
In fact, when I change channels, in the terminal that launched vdr, I can see "vv" and other messages 2-4 seconds after the log indicates a channel change.
Have you tried xineliboutput plugin with xine ? At least for me (DVB-C), it has channel switching time < 1 sec and seek time < .25 sec (if I can even measure that). Even with network, channel switching is almost same ; just seeks are ~.5 sec.
