Hello,
When I run vdr from the command line I get this message:
"vdr: please turn off UTF-8 before starting VDR"
How do I turn off UTF-8? Why would I want to? Can someone tell me how to fix it?
I have just installed it using YUM rpm, and I am running Fedora 7 if that helps.
Any help is appreciated, thank you much.

How do I turn off UTF-8?
Hello, With the command "set | grep -i utf" you can see what environment variables have a value with "utf". Those, that begin with "LC_" and the variable LANG have to be unset (example: "unset LC_CTYPE LANG").
Why would I want to?
Because vdr requires it (see the first paragraph in the file "INSTALL" /usr/share/doc/packages/vdr/INSTALL).
Cheers, Peter

If you start vdr using the included init script (/etc/init.d/vdr), this and a bunch of other useful things will be taken care of for you automatically.
