How to get from an empty disk (about 300MB or more) to a running vdr system including many plugin's and addon's in less than 1 hour.
This Document's TODO List
- How to create a new channels.conf file
- How to change the /etc/vdr/commands.conf to have English menu entries in the commands menu?
- What needs to be done to get mplayer to work ? Translate from http://www.ctmagazin.de/ftp/projekte/vdr/anleitungen.shtml#mplayer
or even better use the installation script from http://www.e-tobi.net/vdr/tools/
- please add here what else should be covered in this page.
What to do after the installation succeeded
- Read the fine manual:
gunzip /usr/share/doc/vdr/MANUAL.gz apt-get install less less /usr/share/doc/vdr/MANUAL
- Read other MANUALs and READMEs of installed plugin's etc., for example for DVD:
find /usr/share/doc -name README|grep vdr less /usr/share/doc/vdr-plugin-dvd
- Change the location of the Weather plugin:
- Go to http://weather.noaa.gov/ and find your station id
- Go to vdr's OSD menu - Setup - Plugins - weather and change it accordingly
