No, I'm not, concerning VDR. But xine's dvb input plugin or szap in combination with xine supply a proper picture.I believe you also wrote that any recordings you make are of 0 length. Are you sure your Nova-S is receiving anything at all?
No, I don't. All I know is, that I copied the supplied channels.conf to /video and I assume, it should be ok for receiving ASTRA.Do you have a full featured card with which to test your channel setup?
Not necessarily. If your channels.conf is allright it might also be the diseqc-settings are wrong. At my parents VDR doesn't work out of the box, too.
You were right.
Check with (dvb-)femon if your nova gets lock and receives something while running VDR.
It showed, that VDR didn't.
Use e.g. control-plugin to test VDR before you test your Xine-plugin.
This was not necessary.
For any reason, I had to choose DiSEqC to get it working. I've tried this earlier already, but didn't supply a diseqc.conf and therefore it didn't work. Poor me, not reading the file INSTALL carefully enough :-((Delete "epg.data" and start VDR with [vdr -P\"control -t /dev/ttyX \"] as root - if you get EPG displayed reception works. Then try to record with VDR and playback with xine or mplayer. If that works, go on testing your great plugin! ;o)
