What are the pros and cons of networked-xine and streamdev-xine? hmm i'd say networked-xine: pros: + vdr-xine is actively developped and supported, the network patch is a simple hack. + only one vdr setup + fast channel switching + very stable. cons: - only accept one viewer. you can't have 2 xine-ui processes connecting to vdr - fastforward/etc seems to be a bit laggy/buggy. (don't know if it happens with original vdr-xine) streamdev: pros: + provides http and vtp streams + you can have more than one view at the same time cons: - the author hasn't too much time to work on it at the moment. - for vtp, you need several vdr setups. far too much things are duplicated in that case. on the vdr-streamdev-client you can add timers on the vdr-server but you have to use a special menu. if you press record in the schedule menu on a client the recording will be made on the client (and it's not configurable) imho it's not optimal. - not very stable, especially with several viewers. i use both plugins but mainly vdr-networked_xine. Unfortunatly both don't work that well when used at the same time ex: vdr-networked_xine live watching is stopped when you start a http stream. Anyway both plugins are essential to me. thanks again to the authors ! --
