[Xbox-linux] vdr client

[Alasdair Campbell]

Hi everyone,

I'm discovering the joys of running linux on my xbox. My plan is to
have a vdr streaming client setup which can perform all the regular
functions of a normal vdr client - ie pause/rewind live TV, initiate
recordings on the server, view recordings, administer vdr-burn plugin
to backup to dvd-iso, and if possible check an imap account for emails
and display them on the OSD.

I would like to have a full featured client like this in a loopback
file system, so that I can launch the mini-distro from within xbmc.
This setup needs to have a fairly high WAF..

Currently I'm playing with a xebian distro built in 2005, vdr version
is alot older than my server and I'm only just breaking the surface
of it. I can view some liveTV and intiate recordings but not view them
on the client.
My first plan is install the apt .deb package and try and update vdr.

I'm just wondering if theres anyone who is also using this setup, how
well you got it working, specific problems that the xbox gives etc..

Thanks
