              Use TCP, UDP or RTP transport If no transport options are given, transports are tried in following
              order: local pipe, rtp, udp, tcp

EXAMPLES

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

           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

NOTE

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