Try testing it with skincurses plugin, from a console. Start vdr-sxfe, then switch OSD from Skincurses.

VDR comes with an own OSD built-in. Maybe your settings in setup.conf need to be fixed(?).

Hi,

I am using vdr 1.7.14. I cannot see an OSD menu when using the vdr-sxfe client.

Are you using an ATI card? Or some other card with bad drivers?

With the fglrx driver, the HUD OSD does not work (except, that with the most recent drivers, 9.4 and 9.5, I get HUD OSD if I enable compositing).

I fixed my problem. I have no narrowed it down yet but I changed order.conf from

firstplugin secondplugin -thirdplugin -fourthplugin

to: xineliboutput firstplugin secondplugin -thirdplugin -fourthplugin -osddemo status -svdrpdemo -svccli -dvbsddevice -hello -skincurses -svcsvr -pictures

It now works. So, obviously one of the - ones was overriding the osd support in the xineliboutput plugin.

Kind Regards

James
