<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi. I'm making progress on getting VDR
working the way I want. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There's a colleague at work who uses the xine
plugin for replay, and the DEBUG_OSD screen to remotely control vdr via
ssh. This is kind of what I want to do, but have 2 problems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Xine-plugin still doesn't work.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>-Xine DOES work directly with the DVB (i.e. can
watch DVB channels), but not with VDR. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>-The VDR buttons are visable on the Xine Keymap
editor (so I guess the xine-ui compile must have worked)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>-I can see vdr drivers being loaded when I start
'xine --verbose=2' (so I assume the xine-lib was also
successful)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I try and open 'xine -p
vdr:///fifty/video/plugins/xine/noSignal.pes' Xine says unknown mrl:
vdr://</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Same if I just try 'xine -p vdr://'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does this sounds like the xine-lib is still
broken? Or am I trying to use VDR the wrong way.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) In an attempt to get VDR DEBUG_OSD working, I
recompiled vdr-1.3.21 with the following in the Makefile:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ifdef DEBUG_OSD<BR>DEFINES +=
-DDEBUG_OSD<BR>NCURSESLIB = -lncurses<BR>endif<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I try to start './vdr' or './vdr
-Pxine' nothing happens on the command prompt. I expected the ASCII
debug OSD to start. /var/log/messages says :</FONT></DIV>
