Hi,
I would like to get a HDTV VDR system started. I have the following hardware to play with: gigabyte m55plus s3g main board (nVidia GeForce 6100 / nForce 430) with Athlon 64 3500+, 1GB RAM GeForce 9500GT card with 1GB RAM 2 TT-budget S2-3200 DVB S2 cards I have installed OpenSuse 11.1 on it, which comes with vdr 1.6.0, the xine 0.8.2 plugin and dvb-1.1.0_CVS20080331-1.48.
Is there a "getting started with HDTV VDR" FAQ somewhere?
My first 3 questions questions are
* Will a new VDR version be released today? The latest I could find is 1.7.7 (3 weeks old).
* Where do I find the right DVB driver?
* How do I configure LIRC, so it works with the S3-3200 and the remote control included with it?
Thanks in advance for any hints, Carsten.

Most likely not.
The latest I could find is 1.7.7 (3 weeks old).
- Where do I find the right DVB driver?
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb should work, but you'll still need the patch from
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/v4l-dvb-header-fix.diff
because the header files apparently are still broken :-(
- How do I configure LIRC, so it works with the S3-3200 and the remote control included with it?
Sorry, can't help you there.

This commit should've fixed them: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/dba0b6fae413
What error are you getting?

I did a cd /usr/src/v4l-dvb/linux/include/linux ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.27.21-0.1/include/linux/compiler.h .
that fixed it.

This has been a problem with all drivers for a long time, whenever i grab complete new set of drivers, i need to add compiler.h to them. It also seems that it does not need to be actually the same version as current headers, some compiler.h will do, odd..

Actually it's not the problem with drivers, they compile just fine, but VDR will not compile unless the file compiler.h is added to /usr/src/v4l-dvb/linux/include/linux directory Maybe VDR needs some include parameter...

Hi,
you don't need lirc, try plugin remote (http://www.escape- edv.de/endriss/vdr/). It seems to be easier to setup and works without problems.

I got lirc to work first, then I read your message and tried the remote plugin. Very nice. No daemons to configure, etc. I'll stick to the remote plugin.
I had to make the attached patch (inspired by a similar patch I found using google) to make the remote control work that came with my card.
Carsten.
