i also have struggled for this holy grailxbmc would really be the ideal interface for me (just cant beat this flexibility - try playing a .bin / .img over a network which is .rar'd - cant do this on vdr)
i like the xbmc plugins and flexibility, for the most part. :)
for last few months i've been trying xvdr, but i have to say i have mixed feelings/results on this, and it's not very stable (from my experience)
the deprecated vnsiserver/client has fallen off the radar by now... not many options other than streamdev/strm files.
i found i kept getting warnings about insufficient buffers with the setting
engine.buffers.video_num_frames:22
, so i bumped that up to 35
only other setting i'd suggest re-examining is the
engine.performance.memcpy_method:libc
at least on my system, kernel is faster. :) autodetect should be fine for this... ?
(it should test all of them)

Yeah its great having HD channels playing and recording. It just makes
me a little sad that XBMC playback of them is flawless, but with xine
we seem to have to settle for "only occasionally glitches" ?
