Quoting Stefan Lucke:
Another issue that I don't know if is related with the main topic is that when I start vdr correctly (only the first time) I don't get video. I'm using streamdev-client. In syslog I see:
[XvVideoOut]: (ERROR) could not grab any port! No video possible!
Oh, then I misunderstood you. Thought the it works the first time you called it. So did you ever or never get video ?
I like to ask for output of: xdpyinfo .
Sorry, that should be: xvinfo .
