You might have to specify that those encrypted channels are only tuned through that card.

So yeah, it's primary all right.
You said earlier that you use HTTP to connect with your frontend. The xineliboutput README states the following:
Using with other media players (mplayer, vlc, ...)
Primary device video and audio (without OSD or subtitles) can be streamed from plugin control port to almost any media player using http or rtsp.
So, you might want to use a xine-based frontend (for example vdr-sxfe or xine-ui) with xvdr.
Ok, I tried vdr-sxfe and it indeed is a much better solution and the OSD works exactly as it should. It's really looking nice.
However, I still can see only a small subset of the channels that "normal" VDR can see. I somehow suspect it's due to my hw setup:
- 1 Hauppuage FF DVB-c
- 1 Hauppuage FF DVB-c + CI
The second card is the old primary card where the s-video is connected. I can only actually see channels that the second card *only* can tune into, i.e. a few encrypted channels for which the CI is used. All other normal open channels can not be seen using vdr-sxfe, I just get a "No signal" image. I suspect that the first DVB card is normally used for tuning into these channels, but that shouldn't matter, should it?
If I could just get all channels shown this solution would totally rock my setup. :)
