I don't mind buy a full-featured card later. but right now I also want to play with this economical card with plugins. BTW, when using "root", it has no such messages like "vdr: no primary device found - using first device!", but just sits there do nothing. syslog indicates OSD error, lkie these: -------------------------- [root@pc1 zhuhx]# tail /var/log/messages May 3 23:39:38 pc1 vdr: [4037] found 1 video device May 3 23:39:38 pc1 vdr: [4037] setting primary device to 1 May 3 23:39:38 pc1 vdr: [4037] device 1 has no MPEG decoder May 3 23:39:38 pc1 vdr: [4037] SVDRP listening on port 2001 May 3 23:39:38 pc1 vdr: [4037] loading /video/themes/sttng-default.theme May 3 23:39:38 pc1 vdr: [4037] loading /video/themes/sttng-default.theme May 3 23:39:38 pc1 vdr: [4037] ERROR: no OSD provider available - using dummy O SD!

[root@pc1 zhuhx]# ---------------------------- So I have to use some plugins for vdr? I will research a bit on these tomorrow. But wait, wait, I know a package vdr-xine-0.7.9.tgz is for vdr as a plugin for xine, now you told me I also need xine to be a plugin for vdr, I got confused!!! could you please explain more on these plugin thing?
