Maybe then someone who already did the upgrade from vdr 2.2.0 to 2.3.1 could give some guidance how this can be done (smoothly). Goolge led me to a testing repository (Andrey Pavlenko) from where I could probably install vdr 2.3.1 and related plugins - but I am also considering compiling vdr from sources. Would be my first time, though.

Any recommendations?

BTW: I just noticed, the latest version of vnsiserver-plugin (1.5.0) is already installed on my system running smoothly with vdr 2.2.0. If I'd now update kodi vom 16.1 to 17.0alpha3, how would this affect my setup with vdr 2.2.0? Would the epg based series timer just not be available or would I experience anything worse, i.e. crash? Can you elaborate on what the dependencies on vdr 2.3.1 are as the latest vnsiserver plugin seems to be okay with vdr 2.2.0?

Thanks
