The output above is from a term in kde, so I suppose the X-server should be running. > For a client/server setup, you need streamdev plugin and connect > your client via streamdev to your server. Does that apply if client/server are running on the same machine? But the error appears anyway, or do you mean it should vanish when using streamdev as additional plugin? >>Nov 12 21:03:51 linux vdr[10465]: [softdevice] videoOut failure exiting >> >>I put LoadModule "XvMC" in xorg.conf as mentioned in the plugin's >>README, and libxvmc1 and libxvmc-dev are installed. > > > Which README ? > README of softdevice does not mention xvmc, as it does not support xvmc. Arg, excuse me for mixing up info-sources, that one was from http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Softdevice-plugin ... Quasi-Hardwaredekodierung ?ber XvMC ("XVideo Motion Compensation"), recht geringe CPU-Last (~30%, prozessorunabh?ngig). Unter anderem unterst?tzt von NVidia Grafikkarten (GF4MX400 sowie >= GF5), S3 Unichrome (u.a. auf VIA Epia Boards) und vielleicht anderen, laden ?ber option "XvMC" in XF86config, falls installiert (Distribution ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ checken!) ... => if you don't speak german, this means that XvMC should be good for NVidia-cards and "XvMC" should be put in XF86config (or xorg.conf I suppose). I'd like to use softdevice with a Geforce 6600 and TV-Out, if this could be better please tell me. In vdr-wiki is also written that softdevice does replace the mpeg2-decoder and outputs directly on a framebuffer, output could then be on a monitor or tv-out (for that part streamdev is needed?) >>I guess it could be that I have to put up an additional screen-section >>in xorg.conf, but I'm not really familiar with that.
