My 2 cents about the Wiki and VDR as someone else mentioned in this thread yavdr IMO is the easiest way to install and configure VDR. One can simply do:
Installation of VDR:
Stop the service to make any changes
Add channels (1 of the following methods):
1) Scan for channels...someone will have to step in here on how to do it.
2) Get a list of channels from online and paste them into "/etc/vdr/channels.conf" - wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12367642/channels.conf <- my UK FreeSat channels.conf file
Configuring the plugins to work on your network:
Edit the allowed_hosts.conf for the relevant plugin - Uncomment (remove the leading "#") and amend the following line or which ever ones suits your requirements (if this file/folder does not exist create it). For example:
#192.168.0.0/24 # any host on the local net
becomes
192.168.0.0/24
For VNSI
For XVDR
Finally start the vdr service
Installation of VDR:
Code:
add-apt-repository ppa:yavdr/stable-vdr
apt-get update
apt-get install vdr vdr-plugin-xineliboutput vdr-plugin-xvdr vdr-plugin-vnsiserver
Stop the service to make any changes
Code:
/etc/init.d/vdr stop
