I am running vdr on Fedora Core 6 and found that I couldn't start vdr as a service.
I believe the problem is the fact that the default directory for vdr is /srv/vdr which doesn't exist and causes the service to hang. How do I change this default so vdr runs as a service?
Many thanks,
Chris

from man 8 vdr: -v dir, --video=dir Use dir as video directory. The default is /srv/vdr.
If you are using the RPM provided by Fedora Extras, you can change this in /etc/sysconfig/vdr, there should be a line starting with VDR_OPTIONS.
But why don't you just create /srv/vdr?

If you're using the Fedora (Extras) package, it should have created the dir for you when you installed the package, see "rpm -ql vdr". What does "rpm -V vdr" output?
