Streamdev does NOT use ANY hardware. It's a plugin consisting of a
server-part and a client-part.

The server-part just calls every necessary infomation/stream from inside
of VDR, While the client-part feeds the information/stream into VDR.

As it is written in C/C++ it should compile on any platform VDR can be
compiled for.

What you need is a A/V-backend plugin for VDR to get something on your
screen. As it seems, the Neutrino-project used DirectFB for that.
