Hi list,
I'm in the progress of migrating from a DVB-S / VDR 1.4.7 setup to a DVB-S2 TT-Premium S2-6400 setup using vdr 1.7.27 on Fedora 17, kernel 3.5.4-1.fc17.x86_64 .
I followed these instructions here
http://www.hubertus-sandmann.homepage.t-online.de/VDR.htm
to install the driver & the appropriate firmware - instructions which seem to be the same on a few other wikis.
/dev/dvb/ device entries appear and I can run vdr.
No /dev/videoX device entries are created, which means I cannot use tvtime or similar to watch vdr. Also screen grabs which relay on /dev/videoX nodes don't work either.
So two questions:
1) is lack of v4l devices a feature of the DVB-S2 driver / S2-6400 firmware, or has something gone wrong?
2) If the lack of v4l devices is a feature [or if I cannot fix the problem :-)], is it possible to view VDR output using /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 using mplayer or similar? I saw many hints on accessing this node using szap -r and mplayer, but mplayer doesn't seem to provide output while vdr is running.
Thanks in advance for any tips - I did try Google & searching the linux media list w/o success.
