You said earlier that you use HTTP to connect with your frontend. The xineliboutput README states the following:
Using with other media players (mplayer, vlc, ...)
Primary device video and audio (without OSD or subtitles) can be streamed from plugin control port to almost any media player using http or rtsp.
So, you might want to use a xine-based frontend (for example vdr-sxfe or xine-ui) with xvdr.
Oh, thanks for pointing that out, I'm such a n00b. I've read the README up and down but happily read the part "without OSD" as "with OSD". Doh! Then it's time to test vdr-sxfe and see how that fares. I wanted to keep the display in the same process as the rest of my media frontend app, but controlling an external process is no big hassle.
