vdr-software

  • Hello everybody,


    i have a little problem while installing vdr.
    I compiled the vdr-file from source and this happend without errors.
    The compilation created a vdr.exe but when i try to run this application my
    console just hangs and the only thing that i can do then is ctrl-c.
    The output from /var/log/messages is this:

    I use the airstar 2 TV-card. Is there anybody who has an idea


    Cheers

  • Looks fine - vdr started and is running.


    You don't have a card with TV output (FF-card) - so you won't see anything from vdr without an output-plugin like xine, softdevice ...
    If you only want to control VDR use something like vdradmin or xxv.

  • Thanks for the fast reply.
    So, you say that everything is normal:=)
    That is nice to hear and the reason that i can't see anything from VDR is
    because i don't have TV output (FF-card). That already explains a lot but is it also normal
    that i can't even seee the VDR-program itself?
    And for looking at the scanned channels i have to install the xine-plugin and
    recompile vdr again??


    Best Regards


  • You see VDR itself - it's running and "blocks" your console ;).


    To see live-TV/Recordings and the OSD you need an output device - VDR itself only works directly on FF-cards. If you don't own one, use one of the various output-drivers:


    - Xine plugin
    - softdevice plugin
    - DXR3 (with a DXR3 card)
    - em84xx (with a Netstream 2k card)
    - ...
