Hi All, I am currently using fedora core 3 as my VDR box and it has served me reasonably well.
However I have just switched from using Hauppauge Nova-T & Nova-S budget cards with a Hollywood+ card and DXR3 plugin to using a Matrox G550 and softdevice+DirectFB.
I want a distro that has all the latest versions of plugins ( especially femon, streamdev, remote, mplayer, dvd, softdevice) and latest development releases of VDR + XDirectFB, DirectFB, DFB++ available as packages that can be easily added /removed.
I would also like it to be fast and the base OS to be stable and easy to keep updated.
From what I have looked at so far Gentoo is looking pretty good.
Any comments / suggestions ?

Debian has a lot of good things too : * there are the e-tobi official VDR Debian packages : a whole lot of plugins, with support for testing, unstable, etc. a package branch for VDR 1.2.x and another for 1.3.x (vdr-devel) (http://www.e-tobi.net/vdr) * there is also Darren Salt's repositorie geared toward vdr-xine/CLE266 (http://www.youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk/progs.linux.html) * all that come with special packages for the Unichrome HW acceleration (http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~glaweh/debian/) * DirectFB come natively with the debian/ source directory, ready to build packages (I didn't look for binary repositories) * on the softdevice front, I have a debian/ source directory, but I don't maintain binaries, and since softdevice is not autoconf-driven, I have to modify the Makefile by hand before packaging, thus my package doesn't fill everyone's needs * I also use Christian Marillat's repository for stuff like ffmpeg-cvs (ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat)
I could provide a source/binary repository for my Debain add-ons, but I won't keep it up-to-date, provide binaries for anything else that sarge (for the moment), etc. Thus no one would be able to rely on such a repository. Maybe I will finally do that, if people just want to get working Debian sarge binaries for softdevice and dependencies on EPIA (quite limitative).
Hello,
Im looking for patch to wapd plugin 0.7a (vdr 1.3.24) so I can compile it without errors.
