hello,
- the idea : i try to control a dvb-t card with vdr from another computer. server : desktop with a hauppauge dvb-t card (software decoding) client : laptop with 100 mbit card. both suse 9.3, kernel 2.6.11.4, dvb driver included, firewall disabled during tests. vdr-1.2.6-88 vdr-plugins-0.5-87 kvdr-0.62-5
- driver test : the card is working fine if i launch kaffeine (xine frontend) with direct access to the dvb card driver, without using vdr.
- vdr setup : there's no hard decoder on the card, so i've setup vdr to use xine plugin with "-r" option to allow remote control. i don't know if this remote control is related to "svdrphosts.conf", but i have 127.0.0.1 and 0.0.0.0/0 UNcommented in this file ...
- running : once vdr is launched (runvdr or rcvdr) with xine plugin, i try to connect from the same computer with :
1. "kvdr -x" : nothing happens.
2. "xineplayer myservername" xineplayer included with vdr-plugins. vdr-xine log says : external connecting external connected external commands not allowed!
what have i done wrong ? any ideas ? most info i can find is in german, and i don't speak german at all. i've been trying for a long time now and i'm lost.
thanks for your help, paul.

Well, you've got something wrong: the included xineplayer is not what you expect it to be. It is to be used in combination with the mplayer plugin, as a "substitute" of mplayer.
When VDR has been started, just run xine to get a picture:
xine -V xv -A alsa vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes
Bye.

hello,
i've already tried this, and retried with your command line, but xine says there's no way to decode this.
there's a "xineplayer" included with "vdr-plugins" package, but it doesn't seems to work, it exits with no message ...
i really don't see how to use vdr with my dvb-t card.
thanks for your help.

Did you read /usr/share/doc/packages/vdr/README.SuSE? That should get you a picture, at least it worked for me :-) Note that the default channels.conf in the vdr package is for DVB-S/Astra.

hello,
yes i read the suse readme, i added the xine -r plugin, the service seems to launch correctly, but the clients can't connect ... always the same error message with no corresponding documentation to help me solve the problem.
i don't know what to do next, so i'll try VLC now.
thanks, paul.

Which clients do you mean? You have to run xine and then press the vdr button.

He probably wants the xine plugin with the network patch applied.

hello,
i'm still trying to get vdr work locally. xine and kvdr don't work from the server (locally). with or without "xine -r" vdr plugin,
the final goal is to watch dvb-t channels from my laptop with the dvb-t card in the server.
i thought xine-vdr was the right plugin, but if have any other solution (with or without vdr), thanks in advance ! i am using suse 9.3.
thanks, paul.

I use xine itself with the xine plugin. The xine version that is on the xine homepage (xine-ui plus xine-lib, and dont forget to apply the patches that come with the xine plugin before compiling)

Sorry, had a typo: I use the xine version from the xine-plugin homepage.
