I use xineliboutput, permanently on my vdr, with xvmc enabled on my old nvidia 440 MX card. however only on SD mpeg2 broadcasts. It does provide some multimedia playback on other formats, which is useful. Normal vdr recordings are a bit of a pain, since fast forwarded/rewind doesn't work as you would expect with softdevice. If my vdr loses signal for a minute, I have to restart VDR, perhaps I should just try restarting xineliboutput. It is good enough for what I use. I didn't see any support for a vdr menu to play back other multi media content in vdr-xine, so there for never used it.
