Dear list,
I was amazed how easy a Linux VDR can be set up, using (in my case) Sidux (recent Debian sid packages). I installed several plugins, and especially LIVE is what we need to have remote access via LAN.
There was no problem to use the online EPG in order to time recordings. Also, it is possible to watch current streams of any channel. But as it comes to finished recordings, we miss a button that would open vlc[plugin] and give the corresponding stream.
Do we need extra settings/plugins?
Sorry for being less detailed, but I have to describe our problem from memory.
Extra question: Is there a way to use specific PAM-modules for login or, at least, create additional users (rather than giving away "admin" account to anybody)?
Thanks Ralf.

please try the current cvs or git version:
git clone git://projects.vdr-developer.org/vdr-plugin-live.git live
This one already has streaming support for recordings.

sorry, nothing til now. Anyway, we should first think about the possible user rights to control, e.g. access the settings menu, delete recordings, create timers,...

Christian

Hi there, thanks for the hint, but:
I miss precise instructions on how to proceed. I got the most recent version into /tmp.
Further on, I tried "make" - resulting in:

Do I need further sources?

to use the git repository you need a complete development environment for vdr.

Probably it's better to look for someone who has a deb package of the git version for you. Anyone there?

Christian

You need the package 'vdr-dev' to build vdr plugins outside of VDR sources.
I use the following small script to build LIVE outside of VDR sources (cd into the to level 'live' directory and execute): ----- snip ----- #!/bin/sh # make-live: call make in the vdr live plugin sources with correct settings. [ -d live ] || exit 0
mkdir -p .libs VDRDIR=/usr/include/vdr LIBDIR=.libs make $* ---- snip -----
If you try a manual installation of the live-plugin into VDR you should carefully read the README file in the LIVE distribution. And you need to be aware, that different Linux distributions have VDR setups which differ from what is documented in VDR or LIVE.
In your case I suggest to check also the LIVE-Threads on the german www.vdr- portal.de: Version 0.2.0 announce: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=76629 Version 0.1.0 announce: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=64821
There are also hints on how to build a Debian package from the LIVE sources in CVS/Git.
