Code:
Oct 23 21:20:00 mediacenter vdr: [1780] ERROR: can't open DVB device 0/0
Oct 23 21:20:00 mediacenter vdr: [1780] ERROR: can't open DVB device 1/0
Oct 23 21:20:00 mediacenter vdr: [1780] ERROR: no OSD provider available - using dummy OSD!

finaly get it work...
The problem was in the

Code:
sudo cp runvdr.template /usr/local/bin/runvdr
There was some mistakes in the "runvdr.tamplate"

after I compare line by line with yours I changed the following part

Code:
# Detect whether the DVB driver is already loaded
# and return 0 if it *is* loaded, 1 if not:
DriverLoaded()
{
  return 1
}

# Load all DVB driver modules needed for your hardware:
LoadDriver()
{
  return 0
}

# Unload all DVB driver modules loaded in LoadDriver():
UnloadDriver()
{
  return 0
}

Problem was VDR start but don't load any DVB device, after changing it does...
Now it works...
Thanks for helping

Hi,

I tried these instruction but instead of the head of VDR I'm trying with VDR 2.0.6...

so I did the clone of vdr git and then did:

Code:
git checkout tags/vdr-2.0.6

I then followed the rest of the instructions.

However I get this error:

Code:
*** Plugin vnsiserver:                                                          
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/home/neil/src/vdr-git/vdr/include/vdr/positioner.h', needed by `vnsi.o'. Stop.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

does it work with 2.1.6?

Hi, it does seem to work for 2.1.6 I'm just a bit concerned that other plugins might not work with that version as there don't seem to be many ticks in the 2.1.X column on the VDR Plugin wiki:

First of all, thank you FernetMenta for your excellent guide! It really helps a lot, especially for Linux n00bs as I am.

I intend to run VDR as a backend on a mini Atom based server, so I need only VDR as server for the client(s).
What would be your choice of distro for this? I would like to stick to Ubuntu as most of the guides cover ubuntu as OS.

Ubuntu Server 14.02.2 LTS 64-bit
Ubuntu Server 14.10 64-bit

or maybe I should go with Lubuntu or Kubuntu (there I will have desktop too).

Many thanks!

I always install Ubuntu minimal and install required packages myself. For systems I want to have a desktop I moved from LXDE to Xfce which is used by XUbuntu.

Thanks! As a beginner, I'm a little afraid to start with Ubuntu minimal. And since it is going to be a headless server, it might be better to go with Ubuntu server then XUbuntu?

Will your guide work as is on Ubuntu server if I follow it step-by-step? After I have done everything in the guide, I add the channels.conf file, and on the client I install vdr-vnsi plugin, point it to the server ip address and configure everything from there? Now I can access the vdr plugins in PVR->Client Specific Settings, but vdr-server is the addon in Kodi.

you use strange expression for the various components, hence it is hard to follow what you mean. we have the VNSI addon which is a addon loaded into Kodi. And we have the vdr-plugin-vnsiserver plugin which is loaded by vdr. can you rephrase your question using these terms.
