How do you limit VDR-log to user.log only. Now it writes them all over the place, debug, syslog, messages, etc.

Not sure what you're asking for, but I use the attached patch since I don't want vdr to write into syslog.
You need the following in Make.config to activate it:
CXXFLAGS += -DLOG_TO_STDOUT

The syslog daemon decides about this. VDR logs into system log, using "user" facility and "err"/"info"/"debug" priority.
Where these logs go to is defined in /etc/syslog.conf or /etc/syslog-ng.conf or similar file for your syslog daemon.

Hi! To log all VDR log messages only to /var/log/vdr.log
insert this into your /etc/syslog.conf: local6.* /var/log/vdr.log
and then edit your runvdr script and start vdr with parameter: -l x.y (param is lowercase L, while x is your logging level, see man vdr and y rhe logging facility of syslog in my case 6 for local6)
Regards
Marco

Yes, this now logs stuff to vdr.log, but some vdr-messages still end up in syslog, debug and messages logfiles.

You have to tell syslog not to add these messages to the other log files. The format of the syslog.conf is well documented, see man syslog.conf.
For a hint: This line writes /var/log/syslog for me:
*.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog
This means: Log everything of all levels (*.*), but for auth and authpriv, log level none.
This would also ignore all local6 messages:
*.*;auth,authpriv.none;local6.none -/var/log/syslog
You probably have to change some more lines that match *. in a similar way.
Cheers,
Udo

Yes, that did it, Thanks.
Hi!
I added local6.none to the line were syslog messages are configured.
