Hi,
I'm trying to install vdr for the 1st time but cannot make it, please give me some hints on which steps i'm missing, thanks
My system: PII 350/128M ram/Twinhan 1020A/Hollywood+. Debian sid, kernel recompiled using linux-source-2.6.15.
I try to use e-tobi.net Debian/c't VDR-Repository
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental sid base addons vdr-standard deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat sid main
apt-get install em8300 vdr vdr-plugin-dxr3
vdr:/home/vdr# vdr vdr: no primary device found - using first device! vdr:/home/vdr#
vdr:/home/vdr# vdr -Pdxr3 vdr:/home/vdr#
vdr:/home/vdr# ls /dev/dvb ls: /dev/dvb: No such file or directory vdr:/home/vdr#
vdr:/home/vdr# ls /dev/em8300* ls: /dev/em8300*: No such file or directory vdr:/home/vdr#
You'll need to load DVB and Dxr3 modules and perhaps create the device nodes unless you have udev in your Debian installation. Test DVB and Dxr3 with other tools like MPlayer if you have problems with VDR. You'll also need to scan the channels for MPlayer and VDR with the scan app from dvb-utils.
