Hi, 1) you must patch the xine-lib with original patch from Reinhard, then use the network patch (file to patch is: xine-lib/src/vdr/input_vdr.c): http://mitglied.lycos.de/peterweber69/xine/xine-lib-with-sockets.patch 2) patch for xine-plugin file to patch is xine-lib.c and xineLib.h http://mitglied.lycos.de/peterweber69/xine/vdr-xine-0.7.2-using-tcp-sockets-instead-of-fifos.patch xineLib.h there are hunks, but have a look at the xine-lib.h.rej file and make the changes in xine-lib.c with an editor bye Horst -- 5 GB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS http://www.gmx.net/de/go/promail +++ GMX - die erste Adresse für Mail, Message, More +++
