Re: [vdr] Best practices for running vdr-xine

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.

What do you mean here?

xineliboutput can be used with standard xine frontends as well, e.g. with xine-ui: xine "xvdr://127.0.0.1#nocache;demux:mpeg_block"

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...
