The client itself is powerful enough for DivX replay, but not when a DXR3 is used as the output device. Decoding DivX and desktop playback works fine (it is a 667 P3), but simultaneously encoding into MPEG for the DXR3 is too much for the processor. Anyway, I tried to start VDR to use remote xineliboutput and the player on the same machine, but VDR also immediately exited. Don't have the logs now, but I can try on Monday.
