I'd not recommend a 10Mb/s. Fast Ethernet (100Mb/s) should be the minimum. > How about using vdr-fbfe to connect on a vdr instance running on the > same RPi machine?

If VDR on a remote host, IIRC, pausing causes very few bandwidth as only a still image is displayed. The pause is global to all connected clients to this vdr-remote. Yes, you can connect several clients to one xineliboutput-vdr-host but they will all have the same channel and OSD appearances displayed - IOW, they are not independent. > The single USB bus on the RPi would in that case need to handle > the traffic of a hard disk adapter as well as the DVB dongle and the > built-in Ethernet controller. Yes. IMHO, it is better to use RPI only as client with no harddisk. -- Patrick. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
