VDR 1.7.22 is in Fedora Rawhide, which means vdr 1.7.X should become available in Fedora 17 due in May 2012.
Thanks to Ville Skyttä for maintaining the RPM's. For those who can't wait, the rawhide binary RPM's install en work just fine in Fedora 16, though I rebuilt them from source rpm to be sure.
Ville, can we expect more plugins in the final release? Here's my wishlist:
- eepg is pretty essential for getting EPG for Dutch and UK stations The latest git snapshot builds fine without full VDR source, unlike older stable versions http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/vdr-plugin-eepg.git/
- some channel scan plugin would be nice, maybe http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/wirbelscan/index2.html
- lcdproc plugin would be nice, since Fedora already comes with lcdproc daemon http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/vdr-plugin-lcdproc.git/
- xvdr would _really_ be cool, but I guess this is for rpmfusion only https://github.com/pipelka/vdr-plugin-xvdr
Thanks, Pim

Hopefully it'll be 1.8.x or 2.x by then ;)

Right. My VDR box runs F-16 plus the VDR related packages from Rawhide as-is, they've worked fine for me so far.

I don't personally have plans to use or maintain more plugins than I do now. There are a couple of other people maintaining plugins in Fedora, dunno if they'd be interested. They can be reached at vdr-streamdev-owner and vdr-tvonscreen-owner at fedoraproject.org.
If you have interest and some time to spare, helping out isn't that hard... http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join
