Thanks Darren. I got the 27/Jan xine-lib and xine-ui and recompiled as per the instructions on http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Xine-plugin with vdr-xine 0.7.0 and it now works. Hoo ray! I can watch the vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes stream. I'd still like to get plain shell-text window control of VDR. I tried calling the skincurses plugin, but it doesn't seem to work. Should I try DEBUG_OSD? If so, how? I understand you need to set DEBUG_OSD during compile? Do I put something in the VDR Makefile ?
