[vdr] No TV signal for xine plugin

[Tuomas Jormola <tjormola@cc.hut.fi>]

Hello,

I patched and installed xine-lib and xine-ui per instructions in 
INSTALL file of xine-plugin 0.3.4 and they're fine. I compiled VDR 
1.3.9 and the plugin against said xine library. So far so good. When I 
start VDR with the plugin enabled, it's working great with my TV (old, 
small and crappy, that's why I want output to the large LCD monitor) 
connected to the TV-out of the DVB card. VDR menus, changing channels, 
EPG etc. work ok so VDR and my DVB setup is fine. However, when I open 
the VDR MRL with xine, it'll only show the NO SIGNAL stream from the 
.pes file in plugin's data directory. No output from the card to xine 
player at all. Changing channels don't affect the situation while 
output on the TV is still ok. Also connection between the plugin and 
xine player should be ok. The FIFOs under /tmp are created and 
"vdr-xine: Client connected!" is printed to the VDR console, no errors 
reported.

My system is Linux 2.6.5 with stock DVB drivers and Technotrend DVB-C 
2.1 Premium card, VDR 1.3.9, xine-plugin 0.3.4 and xine-lib 1.0.0rc4 
(not from CVS but the released tarball). Any suggestions what could be 
wrong and where to start debugging? I'm not afraid to poke the code, 
but some pointers would be nice since I'm not familiar with VDR's or 
plugin's inner functionality.

Thanks and Best Regards,
