The /etc/rc.vdr configuration file was sourced by the runvdr script that came with the earlier vdr package, so it went the same way! At the moment, I'm recommending the runvdr-extreme package in its place. The runvdr-extreme configuration file (/etc/runvdr.conf) is well commented and should be easy to set up for most needs. If you really want to use the former runvdr and rc.vdr then I've uploaded them at http://pastebin.com/r3JFBHHS and http://pastebin.com/hS1wRnUa.

Okay you removed the runscript but did you also remove the config file ? Where is the template, how does it look ? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VDR wants me to edit /etc/rc.vdr a thousand times .. LANG=C sudo ls /etc/rc.vdr ls: cannot access /etc/rc.vdr: No such file or directory

* Added Udo Richter's tsplay patch that allows VDR-1.6.0 to use TS recordings from VDR-1.7.x The patch is commented out by default. The vdr-streamdev-cvs and vdr-xineliboutput-cvs plugins in AUR are compatible with the tsplay patch but vdr-streamdev will not build if the patch is applied!

(I really need to start a ChangeLog) * Added a note to the install file to point out that the template runvdr script is no longer installed in /usr/bin * Minor tweaks to the runvdr rc-script to make it consistent with the rc-script I use for vdradmin-am

I changed the PKGBUILD a few versions ago so that the template runvdr script that comes with the vdr source is no longer installed in /usr/bin (it's in /usr/share/doc/vdr if you want to edit it for use). A better alternative IMHO is to install vdr-extreme (also in AUR), which only needs a little configuring to work very well. (I guess that I ought to add a comment to the install file and perhaps some explanation to the VDR wiki page!)

error i'm getting after clean install: $ sudo /etc/rc.d/runvdr start which: no runvdr in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core) :: Starting runvdr as a daemon [DONE] ps -A | grep vdr ... gives no results

Hopefully the last update for a while: * Updated the rc.d script to more closely follow the current rc-script.proto and renamed it from vdr to runvdr

azleifel commented on 2010-05-03 11:02 (UTC)

Another update: * vdr-shutdown.sh now does some error checking and has optional debug logging

If you really want to run vdr as your user then you will need to change permissions on /var/spool/video and /var/spool/epg or, preferably, specify different directories when running vdr (see the vdr manual page for more information about vdr's command line switches). I changed the PKGBUILD a couple of versions ago so that the template runvdr script that comes with the vdr source is no longer installed in /usr/bin (it's in /usr/share/doc/vdr if you want to edit it for use). A better alternative IMHO is to install vdr-extreme, which only needs a little configuring to work very well.
