vdr-fbfe

Connect to 192.168.1.3 default port and negoate best available transport:

vdr-fbfe xvdr://192.168.1.3

Connect to 192.168.2.100, port 12550 and use TCP transport:

vdr-fbfe xvdr+tcp://192.168.2.100:12550

Automatically search for VDR server and use UDP transport:

vdr-fbfe xvdr+udp:
vdr-fbfe --udp

Use alsa:

vdr-fbfe --audio alsa

Use alsa (and specific card/sub-device):

vdr-fbfe --audio alsa:plughw:1,1

Framebuffer driver and device settings:

vdf-fbfe --video DirectFB
vdf-fbfe --video fb:/dev/fb/1
vdf-fbfe --video vidixfb
vdf-fbfe --video aadxr3

vdr-fbfe --post tvtime:enable=0
