Currently what happens is, I browse UPnP mediatomb server, select, then get a list of "files" that are redirected exported urls of streamdev-server. The Xtreamer does come with a preview option, so I can either look in a small picture in picture type mode, or press OK, and watch the channel. When I want to change the channel, I have to press stop like I would have pressed stop when watching a normal media file. Then it returns to the preview menu where it lists the channel files (I had to manually add each channel url to mediatomb). Currently audio can take up to a few minutes before it starts playing. I'm hoping to implement the sync early patch on VDR and see if that does make a difference. Otherwise the Xtreamer is fast, zoom features are remembered, even plays subtitles. (next firmware release will disable it, currently enabled by default).
If they release the SDK, I guess somebody can look at adding EPG info and selecting channels that way. Great so far :D
Great! FYI there is a VDR client for Popcorn Hour - http://www.popcornforum.de/showthread.php?tid=5201&highlight=vdr-gui Maybe the same approach can be used with Xtreamer as well.

I'd like to know if somebody uses any networked media player as VDR client
Thanks to the mediatomb team in the irc channel on freenode. I was able to get xtreamer device to watch Live tv. It simply exports the urls from streamdev-server over UPnP.
Great! But is it possible to switch channels from Xtreamer?
Thanks, Theunis
