Feature #971
open[wishlist] support running as standalone executable
0%
Description
It would be useful if softhddevice supported execution as a standalone executable, in the same way as vdr-sxfe does.
A common use case is to have vdr running in the background at all times, but to not always be viewing the frontend (e.g., for switching to XBMC or other applications). It would be useful if softhddevice could similarly do this.
Alternatively if the frontend window could be enabled and disable via an SVDRP command, that would provide similar functionality

I expect this is already on the TODO list, but didn't see anything in the issue tracker for it so thought to add one

you can already hide the video window (without having a separate client) via svdrp detach attach commands.

You can run a second vdr and connect it with streamdev to the main vdr.
See http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-softhddevice/wiki/Client for a simple example.
Or you can start vdr in suspended or detached mode and resume or attach the plugin to a local x11 server.
See vdr -P"softhddevice" -h or svdrpsend plug softhddevice help.
