[vdr] Re: vdr and TTUSB Budget

[Onno <onnok@web.de>]

Hi,

vdr is not a media player, so it has no built in sw-mpeg2 decoder,
so if you use a nova card instead of a nexus (to speak in haupauge terms)
you need some mpeg2 decoder, which can be a DXR3-mpeg2 PCI card (30€ ebay),
or the new vdr-xine (software X11) plugin, so vdr has a primary device
to output it's osd (the user interface).
this is regardless of the dvb-input device, which can even be a analog
tv-card using a sw-mpeg-encoder plugin or a network stream from an other vdr.

so look on this list in the past few days there have been several people
claiming success with the vdr-xine pluign.
