Hi All,<br><br><br>I'm writing a tutorial on VDR for debian. To make the individual steps as small as possible, I would like to begin without any special hardware, just a normal PC.<br>It turns out VDR refuses to run when no DVB card is found. Is there a configuration option somewhere to let VDR run without hardware? Can I create a dummy DVB device somehow?<br><br>The guide (unfinished) is here:<br>https://wiki.debian.org/VDR<br><br>Best regards,<br>Cedric<br><br>My versions:<br>VDR 1.7.28<br>Debian 7.2.0 Stable (installed today)<br><br>The error in /var/log/syslog<br>...<br>No DVB device found<br>ERROR: invalid primary device number: 1<br>ERROR: no primary device found = using first device!<br>ERROR: invalid primary device number: 1<br>...<br>exiting, exit code 2<br>runvdr: stopping after fatal fail (vdr: no primary device found - using first device!)<br>
