What command line are you starting vdr with? try adding '-l 3' to the command line

There should be some messages in /var/log/messages, and also in the shell screen where VDR was started.

I'd recommend building from sources and setting the recordings directory in Make.config

Hello,

I've installed VDR on an ubuntu box, uding the ubuntu packages. (I plan to build one from sources though). This gives me VDR version 1.4.0 First I started VDR with the option to use a NFS mount as the place to store its recordings. VDR worked, and I could watch FTA channels. Recording didn't work wel though, and I suspected that the NFS was to slow, so I changed the video dir to a local one.

After that change VDR won't start anymore. runvdr keeps restarting vdr after 11 seconds, and I have absolutely no idea why. There is no information in any logfile whatsoever that gives any hints as to what might have been going on.

• Hence my questions: Is it possible to get VDR to be more verbose in

its logging?

• Is it possible to make VDR log to its own logfile?
• What might be causing the restarts evere 11 seconds?

Krist
