If you've used both you should be able to compare them, shouldn't you ?

I've also used both.
Now i'm only using xineliboutput because (just facts, no attack !)
- it has support for network without patching for longer
- it doesn't require me to recompile libxine
- network features are more advanced
- i can have more that one frontend watching/sharing the same channel.
- now i just aptitude install libxine1-xvdr to install the client side.

Obviously the two plugins are both great plugins.
And, Reinhard you do a really good job providing patches for vdr &
xine ! Thanks a lot.

I guess the hidden question was "have you ever considered to merge the
two projects ?", wasn't it ? :)

My question would be: "one vdr, one xineliboutput plugin, 2 dvb cards,
2 independant frontends displaying different channels(+osd and
stuff) without streamdev, has it been considered ?" :)
