VDR does not start: XineRemote control thread won't end

Hi All,

I have just installed vdr, but I can't get it to start. Could you please tell me what vdr is complaining about?

Best regards,
Cedric

Re: VDR does not start: XineRemote control thread won't end

Hy
same issue here , with archvdr.
well i have uninstalled xine-plugin and now it works.

I have to figure out what's wrong with xine-plugin.

Re: VDR does not start: XineRemote control thread won't end

Hi ,

I have traced the problem to a command line option of xine-plugin. With -r -p vdr stops, with -r vdr keeps running.
$ cat /etc/vdr/plugins/plugin.xine.conf
#-r -p
-r

With -r I can't connect with xine.

Let's see what xineliboutput does.

Best regards,
Cedric
