vdr installation problems

  • I have Suse10.1, skystar2 dvb card and I've been trying to configure vdr for the past couple of days.
    I believe that I have installed all the pre-required packages before starting with vdr. Then I used xine-lib and xine-ui cvs, patched it with patches from xine-plugin, compiled, installed. After that I did make, make plugins in vdr directory. I created channels.conf using dvb-apps and with

    Code
    ./scan -o vdr dvb-s/Hispasat-30.0W | tee channels.conf


    and then I put that file into /video directory.
    Situtaion is this:
    If I try


    and it's just stays like that.


    If I try:

    Code
    xine vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes


    xine starts up, and reports an error:


    xine engine error
    there's no input plugin available to handle
    'xine vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes'
    Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/strean source doesn't exist.


    What am I doing wrong?
    There were no errors reported during compilaton/installation of any components.

    Sure you've installed the xine stuff correctly and starting the right one? Does xine use the correct path to its plugins?

  • Well, mpeg2 and mpeg4(avi) files on the hdd work when started in xine.
    I didn't have xine-lib or xine-ui installed before I started with vdr, so I think I only have one instance installed. I did have libxine packages installed from before.
    Where can I see if xine is using a correct path to the plugins?
    And I start Xine by typing xine at the terminal, not from a shortcut or entry in kmenu (it didn't add any).

  • From INSTALL file of vdr-xine:

  • I can't believe it!
    That was it. I thought if I use ./vdr -Pxine, xine would be started automatically. But after running that command, I started xine separately, and clicked on vdr button. And it works!
    Thanks very much.
