[vdr] Remote xineliboutput crashes when scaling

528 I've not seen. 544 I have...

Hmm? They all require scaling to 768×576 or 1024×576 (if the display mode in
use has square pixels).

Install the -dbg package. Get a backtrace. You might also want to print (at
least) local variables.

Or (possibly better) provide a short sample.

Either way, I think that the scaler configuration is also needed.
