IMHO...
I've used both, and xineliboutput is arguably easier to get working as you only need the standard xine-lib for your repo, but....
I've chosen over the years to use vdr-xine as it seems to give the most options to change the front end, as it uses the standard one. I start it with:
xine --no-splash -Bfpqg -r anamorphic -V xv -Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1 --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes
/dev/null 2>&1
It's served me well for 5 years...

I've recently taken a different approach altogether.
I use MyMediaSystem (mms) as the "front end" to my pvr for dvd, movies, pictures, music, weather, radio etc etc and TV. When you select TV, it launches vdr-xine.
I wanted a high quality graphical (open-gl) look - and the ability to play music playlists while cycling through my photo collection.
VDR, vdr-xine and mms seem to work very well together too....
Interesting. Do you have a howto for this? I'm sure I know some guys who would like to try it as an alternative to xbmc+VDR.
Has anybody made some kind of pros and cons analysis between vdr-xine and xineliboutput. Which is better or are they just different ?
