i have a question: What is the primary device.

I have the following devices:

• xineliboutput or PVR350
• pvrinput-device

None of the devices can do both, receive and showing a stream .

Which of the devices is the primary device. How is the primary device determined ?

The primary device is always the device that does the video output and OSD display. In your case its either the xineliboutput or the pvr350. The primary device is determined by the entry PrimaryDVB in the setup.conf, also available in Setup/DVB. If this device is not able to be primary, VDR searches for the next device that can be primary.

The xineliboutput device has the special capability to dynamically switch to be primary device, as soon as a remote connects. If the remote disconnects, the previous primary device takes over again.
