When using local playback I get these messages in the vdr log output, and I get no picture. If I use remote playback to a vdr-sxfe instance on the same machine, everything displays ok.

When using local playback;

AddPlugin xineliboutput --remote=none --local=sxfe --video=vdpau --audio alsa:hw:Intel --post tvtime:method=use_vo_driver

When using remote playback;

AddPlugin xineliboutput --local=none --remote=37890

and starting vdr-sxfe with

vdr-sxfe --video vdpau --audio alsa:hw:Intel --verbose --aspect 16:9 --fullscreen --post tvtime:method=use_vo_driver xvdr://127.0.0.1 2

Any clues to what I can be configuring wrong?
