[vdr] Re: Problem with script runvdr

["Gerhard Steiner" <steiner@mail.austria.com>]

Thanks for the help,
I really used wrong options.

1. I used -d in the startup script
2. There was an entry "-L localhost".
    I don't know where it came from.

When I removed -L ... vdr started in the correct way.
Isn't such a behaviour rather restrictive?
Wouldn't a simple warning instead of an exit enough?

Thanks for your help!
