Hi. I'm making progress on getting VDR working the way I want.
There's a colleague at work who uses the xine plugin for replay, and the DEBUG_OSD screen to remotely control vdr via ssh. This is kind of what I want to do, but have 2 problems.
1) Xine-plugin still doesn't work. -Xine DOES work directly with the DVB (i.e. can watch DVB channels), but not with VDR. -The VDR buttons are visable on the Xine Keymap editor (so I guess the xine-ui compile must have worked) -I can see vdr drivers being loaded when I start 'xine --verbose=2' (so I assume the xine-lib was also successful)
When I try and open 'xine -p vdr:///fifty/video/plugins/xine/noSignal.pes' Xine says unknown mrl: vdr:// Same if I just try 'xine -p vdr://'
Does this sounds like the xine-lib is still broken? Or am I trying to use VDR the wrong way.
2) In an attempt to get VDR DEBUG_OSD working, I recompiled vdr-1.3.21 with the following in the Makefile: ifdef DEBUG_OSD DEFINES += -DDEBUG_OSD NCURSESLIB = -lncurses endif
When I try to start './vdr' or './vdr -Pxine' nothing happens on the command prompt. I expected the ASCII debug OSD to start. /var/log/messages says : Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: VDR version 1.3.21 started Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: loading /fifty/video/setup.conf Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: loading /fifty/video/sources.conf Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: loading /fifty/video/channels.conf Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: found 1 video device Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: setting primary device to 1 Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: device 1 has no MPEG decoder Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: SVDRP listening on port 2001 Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: loading /fifty/video/themes/sttng-default.theme Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: loading /fifty/video/themes/sttng-default.theme Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: ERROR: no OSD provider available - using dummy OSD!

I'm so close I can feel it!
