Hi everyone,
I've seen lots of tutorials about VDR but one thing still isn't clear: can it or can it not have multiple clients watching different programs?
I know it's impossible with xine-plugin to even have multiple streams, but xineliboutput seems to be able to output multiple streams over a network.
The reason I'm asking this is because I've never actually had it work ... I'm always getting a "permission denied" message, along with it stating that the host's ip needs to be in my "svdrp.conf" file, which doesn't exist. My svdrphosts.conf file, on the other hand, is perfectly in order, but still it won't work.
If it is possible I can finally toss mythtv out of the window and deploy vdr over the house!

Give streamdev a look :-)

I am using a central VDR system with 3 (or was it 4) DVB-S budget cars. And watch TV around the house using either VLC as a client, Xine, or the MediaMVP from Hauppauge (using the VOMPServer).
No problem what so ever. Using it since 2006 iirc.
Ah, interesting. At first I was a bit sceptical, but streamdev still seems a bit active, if not by the original author.
I have a problem, though. The server is running fine but the client is segfaulting. And it has nothing to do (I think) with xineliboutput, because it only started when I actually activated the streamdev-client plugin.
So I first get the "learn remote control code" screen and after that it's gone.
By the way, I set the remote ip through the OSD, did I have to do it any other way?

I tried Arte once, when it was still DVB-S and MPEG2. The client used VLC and it was working nicely.
I don't have DVB-S2 working right now (other priorities), and MPEG4 did not work for me (and again, did not have a high prio for me).
