91 +Some people prefer to use <c>vdr-xineliboutput</c>, because it can also work
92 +remotely. We'll now teach you how to configure <c>vdr-xineliboutput</c> on your
93 +host and client. First, the host setup:
94 +</p>
95 +
96 +<pre caption="Installing vdr-xineliboutput">
97 +# <i>emerge vdr-xineliboutput</i>
98 +# <i>emerge --config vdr-xineliboutput</i>
99 +</pre>

101 <p>
102 -That's it, you're done! Have fun with your new video streaming capabilities.
103 +Adding command line options at this point is crucial for your softdevice to
104 +work. For more options, see <c>vdr --help</c>.

107 +<pre caption="Adding command line options to /etc/conf.d/vdr.xineliboutput">
108 +_EXTRAOPTS="--local=none --remote=37890"
109 +</pre>
110 +
111 +<p>
112 +The next step is to edit <path>/etc/vdr/svdrphosts.conf</path>. This file
113 +describes a number of host addresses that are allowed to connect to the SVDRP
114 +port of the video disk recorder running on the host system.

126 +You must restart VDR for the changes to take effect:
127 +</p>
128 +
129 +<pre caption="Restarting VDR">
130 +# <i>/etc/init.d/vdr restart</i>
131 +* Stopping vdr ... [ ok ]

135 +* Starting vdr ... [ ok ]
136 +* Waiting for working vdr ... [ ok ]
137 +</pre>
138 +
139 +<p>
140 +Now, simply <c>emerge media-plugins/vdr-xineliboutput</c> on your client, and
141 +start it.
142 +</p>
143 +
144 +<pre caption="Client setup">
