Changing location of /srv/vdr
by Chris Matchett 08 Jun '07

08 Jun '07

I am running vdr on Fedora Core 6 and found that I couldn't start vdr as a service. I believe the problem is the fact that the default directory for vdr is /srv/vdr which doesn't exist and causes the service to hang. How do I change this default so vdr runs as a service? Many thanks, Chris

Dear Klaus, I pay you respect, as you do a great job. You do a lot of work - for free - for the community! So, don't missunderstand me: I really do not intend to blame you personally! But when it comes to the "Service" thinking of a VDR, things get difficult. VDR is a Service - nothing more, nothing less (SOA thinking). The question "was there a recording" is neglibible. I don't care if there is a recording going on, when I want to watch a film. The main job of VDR at the time of watching a recording is to display the film. Who cares if the current _BACKGROUND_ recording is disturbed, it's a _FACT_ and i _CAN'T_ change anything at this time. But it drives me and my beloved mad, that we have a shutdown-show-shutdown-show (okay, don't want to do a cut'n'paste show here, but it was 10 maybe 15, 20 times!). Make a switch and everything is fine. With your emergency exit you fixed problems, that are actually not yours! If the DVB drivers are buggy, try to push the responsibility to those, who _MUST_ take care of the problem. For me, I have Technotrend budget cards which never have a DVB driver problem, it makes make blood rush.

DVB-C budget decoding - no picture
by Simon Baxter 06 Jun '07

06 Jun '07

I'm trying to get a picture out of my budget TT-C1500 card/ci/cam and having little success (but am making progress!). My cable provider encrypts everything - so it has to run through the CAM. the dvb-apps 'dvbstream' gives me the following: /usr/src/development/dvbstream-0.5/dvbstream -s XXXX -f 618000 -qam 64 -analyse 5011 5012 501 dvbstream v0.5 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004 Released under the GPL.

dvb-c & CI, but no picture?

Hi I've recently got my TT-1500C, CI and Irdeto CAM working. My cable provider only provides encrypted channels, so can't do any testing free-to-air channels.

vdr and 28.2E EPG ?
by kafifi 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Hi all, I've just tuned my second dish on 28.2E, viewing many FTA channels. Curiously, vdr doesn't display any EPG (just now & next information). Is there any special transponder I must tune to download EPG, or SKY uses a non standard EPG ? In this case, could you give me a link ? Thanks.

Copy your recordings to /video and then start VDR in an X11-session like this: vdr -v /video -P"xineliboutput --local=sxfe --remote=none --fullscreen" I use this versions: vdr-1.4.7 xineliboutput-1.0.0rc1 Stephan. -- loescher(a)gmx.de http://www.loescher-online.de/ Try LEO: http://www.leo.org/

vdr without a DVB receiver
by Josce Unknown 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Using vdr 1.4.7 is it possible to use vdr only for playing back recordings, with xinelibout but without a DVB receiver. Now if I start vdr I get: vdr: no primary device found - using first device! and then it exits The reason is that we will be going on a trip and my daughter would like to have her recordings with her so that she can watch them. And she knows how to operate the vdr so it would be easier than using mplayer or xine. So I thought I it woud be great if I could just copy the recordings from /video to my laptop /video and let her watch it from my laptop.
