I've built a Debian (Lenny) based VDR machine. I installed VDRÂ from the Debian VDR and DVB Packaging Project[1] following the instructions described here: http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/DEBIAN_Compiling_VDR_Source_Package...
I had some problems with the packaged dxr3 drivers and plugin, so I manually compiled and installed the dxr3 drivers[2] (version 0.18.0) and the VDR dxr3 plugin[3] (version 0.2.10). Everything is working very well so far except for subtitles - I get tearing and corruption when they are displayed. I know subtitles have a problematic history on the dxr3 device, but I noticed in the VDR dxr3 plugin sources there is a patch for VDR to fix this[4].
My question is, given the way I've installed VDR, what's the best/easiest way for me to apply this patch? Do I have to compile VDR from source myself, or can I somehow modify the debian VDR package sources on my machine and build them with this patch applied?
Apologies if I'm not making much sense, I'm fairly new to this.
Thanks for your help!
