vdr-streamdev plugin on vdr allows you to do this, where you can have multiple streams send to each client. If you happen to choose mplayer to play the sound then you will have to change your audio output + you might have to fiddle with alsa to split it up into separate front and rear audio devices.

Hello,

Is it possible today with vdr, to send one audio channel to the headphones and the other audio channel to the speakers (or another headphones)? (it wasn't possible about 4 years ago)

Example: we watch a film recorded from Arte, and my wife wants to listen to the French, and I want to listen to the German audio channel.

If it's possible, what version do I need at least and what must be configured?

If not, what would be the effort for a VDR developer to implement such a feature (in hours, $, € or whatever)?

Or do you know other free software for watching and recording TV, with such a feature?

TIA for any hints!
