Re: [vdr] Changing location of /srv/vdr

I am running vdr on Fedora Core 6 and found that I couldn't start vdr as a service.

I believe the problem is the fact that the default directory for vdr is /srv/vdr which doesn't exist and causes the service to hang. How do I change this default so vdr runs as a service?

from man 8 vdr: -v dir, --video=dir Use dir as video directory. The default is /srv/vdr.

If you are using the RPM provided by Fedora Extras, you can change this in /etc/sysconfig/vdr, there should be a line starting with VDR_OPTIONS.

But why don't you just create /srv/vdr?
