Having read the "Using VDR on Mac OS" threads, I have tried out streamdev-client (had been using the server quite often) no a DVB-less system. I am running this under gentoo which creates a VDR process in the bootup, then I use vdr-sxfe to display on the screen.
I have managed to get this working by copying the channels.conf over from the original vdr-server, however, when I close vdr-sxfe, the VDR server on the streamdev-client machine doesn't release the stream, which means that no one else can change channel. Is there a way to release the stream to allow channel changing on the server without closing the second vdr process (which would require root access).
I figured if I had a local dvb card then switching channels to something local would do it, but I don't, and won't when I get this running on OsX.

Further to my own email, I think I need a dud channels.conf channel that i can select to put the client in suspend mode. However, everytime I try something I get "channel not available"...
Is this the right track?
