[vdr] Re: Startscript

[Mirko Günther <mi.guenther@ib-helms.de>]

1) you have to compile VDR. I use 0.99, but other versions shold work too.
2) you need to set a link in '/usr/local/bin/' with:

cd  /usr/local/bin
ln -s /YOURPATH/vdr vdr

YOURPATH stands for the path, whitch you have extract and compiled VDR.
Sorry, this step I've forgotten to write. :-[
3) you shold edit 'mk_vdrdaemon' and set the HOMEDIR to a path, you will 
store the records and configs of the VDR.
(maybe you must change the path in 'vdrdaemon' too.)

I try to find a better solution.


to watch TV on your Screen, you can use 'kvdr' found under:
