Both commands work and knowing the solution it of course is the vdr user forbidden to put windows on the X session of a different user. > - try starting without su > (as current user, or with vdr option --user=vdr) I had tried that before and the problem is that the video directory is owned by the vdr user and it looks like starting `vdr` from a normal user and passing `--user=vdr` cannot change the user. That is why I tried it with `sudo`. […] Thanks a million, Paul
