linVDR

  • I have been checking out some small distributions recently with the following idea:


    - make a VIA Epia Mxxxxx specific bootable CD/USB key with support for mpeg HW acceleration
    - include unichrome x.org Epia drivers, VDR and vdr-xine
    - support for Skystar2 card
    - lirc
    -...


    I have really enjoyed using my hush but Apple has come out with the Mac mini... I am thinking of switching back to Mac for my work machine and transforming my hush into a full time PVR/DVD/juke box entertainement center.


    LinVDR is a logical jump off point but... all the developer docs are in German


    Any ideas?

  • Hi


    maybe you could try debian /sarge because i think you need a kernel 2.6 to get the skystar 2 running well and to use the mpeg hardware on epiaboards we all miss a driver.


    For debian startsets look for a english manuel for c'tvdr or start with knoppix

    I think Linvdr is not the rigth startpoint for this because it is more like a "firmware" for people with FullFeatured DVB-Cards.

    or learn german ;)

    I was meaning as a design example not really as the basis to build off.
