Why not exclusively use the yaVDR repositories?
My winter project has been to migrate my old hand compiled VDR-1.7.0 system using Reel EHD to yaVDR (distro) using a Nvidia GT210 with HDMI audio. Its taken a bit of tweaking to get somewhere near (mostly addressing audio sync issues when I used the motherboard sound card via SPDIF) but now I can get HD video with multichannel audio through VDR and also switch from the VDR main menu into Boxee (need to add this yourself) to handle playing local media (and free movies provided in the library) as well as running apps such as BBC iplayer and all the hundreds of other TV apps available (You Tube, Browser, Flickr, CNET, NASA TV etc).
Sounds good. How are you running iPlayer, etc.? Through Firefox or equivalent?
My current setup headless setup (control by remote only) so I can't run anything else like a browser withough ssh-ing in (and I'd need X, too!). If I change it all and am forced to use X for the video output, I could also run other apps too, although it would be nice to do it all from just the remote...
I also compiled up the vomp mediaplayer plugin to drive my 2 Hauppauge Media MVPs (TV and media distributed through the house) and hooked it up to my rotor (rotor plugin seems pretty unstable though and crashes VDR regularly) and use channel scan to find sat channels.
I've got a couple of Media MVPs hanging off of my setup too! They won't do HD, though. :-(
Cheers,
