The point seems to be that the OSD is drawn through /dev/dvb/adapterX/osd while the playback from mplayer is through /dev/dvb/adapterX/video+audio. OSD device is not closed by VDR while mplayer is running. AFAIK mplayer is not able to use hardware OSD. Regards. -- Stefan Huelswitt s.huelswitt@xxxxxx | http://www.muempf.de/
