IMHO... I've used both, and xineliboutput is arguably easier to get working as you only need the standard xine-lib for your repo, but.... I've chosen over the years to use vdr-xine as it seems to give the most options to change the front end, as it uses the standard one. I start it with: xine --no-splash -Bfpqg -r anamorphic -V xv -Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1 --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes > /dev/null 2>&1 It's served me well for 5 years... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lauri Tischler" <lwgt@xxxxxx> To: "VDR Mailing List" <vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 9:42 PM Subject: Re: Best practices for running vdr-xine > VDR User wrote: >> On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 1:20 PM, Simon Baxter <linuxtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> wrote: >>> I've recently taken a different approach altogether. >>> >>> I use MyMediaSystem (mms) as the "front end" to my pvr for dvd, movies, >>> pictures, music, weather, radio etc etc and TV.
