Hi, I would like to use my PS3 as vdr client as well. I'm currently using xineliboutput for my other client (on a standard PC), so this would be my first choice, but I've no problem to switch back to vdr-xine (which I used in the past - with the network patch... I moved to xineliboutput just because I don't want to patch xine-lib everytime anymore..) Can you give more details of what are you using on your PS3?

Are there any problems in submitting the needed patch to the mainstream xine-lib distribution?

I only have Skystar2/Airstai2 budget cards, so it's not an issue for me. A feature that allows to watch different channels on clients at the same time (without using multiple vdr installations and streamdev) would definetely make me switch back to vdr-xine :) ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

This is a very good news. As soon as 1.2 version will be stable it will be much more easy to use vdr-xine. Picture quality seems better to me in vdr-xine than in xineliboutput, so I'll be happy to go back to vdr-xine, I just didn't want to do all the patching anymore (expecially because it was needed both on client and servers in my networked enviroment). The new network feature is a big step forward (finding the network-patch for every new release was a pain), but xine-lib patch was still needed... Does it mean that a linux distro that include xine-lib-1.2 will be able to connect to a networked VDR-xine installation without the need of anything else apart from xine? > I only have Skystar2/Airstai2 budget cards, so it's not an issue for me. > > A feature that allows to watch different channels on clients at the same > > time (without using multiple vdr installations and streamdev) would > > definetely make me switch back to vdr-xine :) > > And you wouldn't mind applying a huge patch on VDR to achieve this goal? This feature is so interesting that I certainly wouldn't mind, even if it would a very good feature to be included in the 1.5 vdr release... :) Thanks Graziano ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] Xineliboutput segmentation fault
Hallo, I'm using xineliboutput as an output device, both on the main VDR server (that is attached to a 16:9 display) and over network to a client, with no DVB cards, but that connect over the network to the main server VDR with xineliboutput. Everything is working fine, but if I select "crop letterbox 4:3 to 16:9" on the main VDR machine, I get a segmentation fault on the client when I try to run xineliboutput everytime I try to run it, until I remove the "crop letterbox" option. Maybe I'm missing some library on the client? anyone can help me about this? Thanks, Graziano ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
