And you are back to layer on layer on layer. If someone is going to write something, let it be the plugin that talks to vdr and ffmpeg. Forget xineliboutput, libxine, etc. The more middle ware we can dump the better.

I propose using 1, ignoring 2 (you can disable it with CLI options, I do
this anyway because it's more convenient for me to use a client-server
setup) and replacing 3 with something based on ffmpeg and/or gstreamer.

From xineliboutput's README:

: (xine-lib is not required for server in network-only usage)

network usage can include localhost.

And you get VDR's full osd doing this?

Yes, if you use a libxine-based player which supports it (the support is
now in libxine). So to replace xine with something else someone needs to
work out how xineliboutput serves up the OSD and write something to read
it. If it's embedded as private data packets or whatever in the TS I
think it should be possible to hook into ffmpeg's or gstreamer's
demuxers to get access to it.
