If I launch vdr simply typing vdr I obtain: vdr: can't access video directory /var/spool/video If I use the rc.d script I get: /etc/rc.d/vdr: line 10: /usr/bin/runvdr: No such file or directory

Another update: * vdr-shutdown.sh should now work if the hardware clock is set to local time and not UTC

Yet another update: * More tidying up of the PKGBUILD * Modified the install script to create /var/spool/epg as well as /var/spool/video * Removed the Arch package runvdr script and rc.vdr configuration file (The template runvdr script from the vdr package is installed in /usr/share/doc/vdr) * Added runvdr-extreme as an optional dependency

* Tidied up the PKGBUILD and updated the VDR home page URL * Rewrote vdrshutdown.sh to use ACPI wakeup for the next timer event * Renamed vdrshutdown.sh to vdr-shutdown.sh * Removed tvm2vdr configuration from rc.vdr because it is not longer used in vdr-shutdown.sh * Removed the "-d" switches from the example VDROPTS in rc.vdr because they break runvdr

The vdr-xine plugin needs xine 1.2, which is currently only available from the xine hg repository. I use a home-made package but xine-lib-1.2-hg from AUR should work. You could also try the vdr-xineliboutput plugin, which is easier to configure than vdr-xine and works with the xine package from [extra]. VDR can be started with the runvdr command or as a daemon at each boot by adding "vdr" to the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf. Plugins to be loaded when VDR is started, either with the runvdr command or as a daemon at boot, can be specified in /etc/rc.vdr. Various other run-time parameters can also be set in /etc/rc.vdr. Have a look at the wiki page for VDR (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VDR#Plugins) for more information.

So now it runs. I have also installed xine-ui-hg... How do you start vdr. I want to use the vdr daemon, but where can I set the needed plugins (or all)?

Nice..., Now I'm trying to build vdr. Are you using xine-lib-1.2-hg for the vdr-xine package, which you also maintain. Thanks in advance.

azleifel commented on 2010-04-18 15:49 (UTC)

Yes, I will be maintaining this package for the foreseeable future. I've been using VDR for almost a year as my main pvr application and I do not have any reason to change.

dejavu commented on 2010-04-18 12:03 (UTC)

So will you maintain this package also in future? Because I prefer the way over aur instead of archvdr and so I would change to aur back...
