Hi (*newbie alert*) I'm facing some problem with the OSD, I am using vdr from ubuntu repositories 1.6.0 I start VDR using the runvdr script If I configure xineliboutput plugin to use as local frontend sxfe then HUD OSD is shown ok, But I want to start VDR and the FE separately, so that I can kill the FE and keep VDR alive then I cannot see the HUD OSD. in the /etc/vdr/plugins/plugin.xineliboutput.com in this second case looks like this ------------------------------------ --local=none --remote=127.0.0.1:37890 #--primary --video=xv --audio=oss #--fullscreen --hud --------------------------------- and the startup command for sxfe is: vdr-sxfe --verbose --video xv --hud --audio oss --lirc --post=tvtime:method=Greedy,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=none,framerate_mode=full

comparing the user logs of the case when it works and the case that it doesn't it seems that when the OSD works this kind of traces are seen: [xine..put] cXinelibLocal::Action - logo sent [xine..put] cXinelibLocal:Action - Starting event loop

I nerver see traces from cXinlelibLocal when I start VDR and the FE separately, so I'm gessing that the event loop that starts the OSD is never started I'm sure this is a silly configuration problem, but I have already spent 2 nights trying to fix it Any help is appreciated Regards Miguel
