Hi all, My new Raspberry Pi2 install lacks a media player, which begins to be a bit annoying. The current setup : * NFS server * DigitalDevices Octopus Net DVB network server * VDR + rpihddevice + satip on the Pi2 : live TV, timers, recordings, etc. * an old VDR instance on the NFS server plays MKV media (using xinelibouput), but lacks satip (no timers, no live TV anymore)
I will upgrade the old VDR to act as a headless epg/timer/recording server. I will thus be unable to play the MKV media on it (headless). What's the recommended light way to play MKV videos on the Pi2 from within VDR ? Adding XBMC on the Pi2 seems a bit too heavy. The mplayer plugin seem very old and may not work neatly with the rpihddevice output. Maybe simply moving the MKV files inside the recordings tree, and creating a vdr index for each work in some way. (I use the MLD distribution (http://www.minidvblinux.de/) on the Pi2, but the forums are all in german, which is a real problem for me...)
