Search for VDR (xineliboutput) server, connect to it and negotiate best available transport, use best available audio:



    vdr-sxfe
Connect to 192.168.1.3 default port and negoate best available transport: 



    vdr-sxfe xvdr://192.168.1.3
Connect to 192.168.2.100, port 12550 and use TCP transport: 



    vdr-sxfe xvdr+tcp://192.168.2.100:12550
Automatically search for VDR server and use UDP transport: 



    vdr-sxfe xvdr+udp:


    vdr-syfe --udp
Use alsa: 



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



    vdr-sxfe --audio alsa:plughw:1,1
Video driver (and display / device): 



    vdr-sxfe --video xv


    vdr-sxfe --video xvmc:127.0.0.1:1.0

If deinterlacing post plugin options are not given at command line, deinterlacing is controlled by VDR plugin configuration menu settings.

De-interlacing can also be forced on or off with command-line option "--post tvtime". Examples:



    vdr-sxfe --post tvtime:method=Linear,cheap_mode=1,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1


    vdr-sxfe --post tvtime:enable=0
