Hmmm...could be something to do with this. Originally, I had a xine-lib 1.0-1vdr6.xvmc deb installed, which included both vdr and Via Unichrome patches, and vdr-xine-0.7.2 was very responsive. vdr-xine-0.7.3 wouldn't build against this version so I upgraded to xine-lib cvs from 18/4/05. Now vdr-xine-0.7.2 is a bit sluggish (ca. 1 s delay for OSD to appear or react). vdr-xine-0.7.3 now builds but I get no OSD! Darren: do your libxine1 packages include supoprt for Via Unichrome xxmc output? I _think_ this is in current xine-lib cvs. If it does, I can just grab your packages and, hopefully, things will 'just work'! ;-) > [snip] > > On another point, is it possible to get xine to reconnect to vdr if it > > restarts?
