I'm still lost/learning I have found three possibilities for this: 1. ffserver+ffmpeg: http://vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=17160&sid=&hilight=ffserver+vdradmin I have tried this but with no success :-( If you get this working: Please tell me! 2. xawtv: It can display the decoded picture of your FF-card. That works, but without sound. 3. kvdr: http://www.s.netic.de/gfiala/ It can display the decoded picture of your FF-card, too. That works only on the same machine where the FF-card is located and additionally can control VDR. Very smart solution! The last two ones show, thats possible to get the picture out of /dev/video* at the same time VDR is running. Stephan. -- loescher@xxxxxx http://www.loescher-online.de/ Try LEO: http://www.leo.org/
