Hi All, I have installed VDR on debian. This works OK, but the version of vdr in debian is a bit dated: $ vdr -V Aug 10 14:38:11.807 [general.debug] using new 1.7.11+ capture code vdr (1.7.28/1.7.28) - The Video Disk Recorder epgsearchonly (0.0.1) - Direct access to epgsearch's search menu quickepgsearch (0.0.1) - Quick search for broadcasts streamdev-server (0.6.0) - VDR Streaming Server xineliboutput (1.0.90-cvs) - X11/xine-lib output plugin conflictcheckonly (0.0.1) - Direct access to epgsearch's conflict check menu sc (1.0.0pre-HG-29b7b5f231c8+) - A software emulated CAM live (0.2.0) - Live Interactive VDR Environment epgsearch (1.0.1) - search the EPG for repeats and more I have tried to use svn-buildpackage, as stated on the vdr wiki, but that gets me an even older version (vdr_1.6.0 and vdr_1.2.6) http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/DEBIAN_Compiling_VDR_Source_Package... How can I get, compile, package and install the latest versions on debian? Kind regards, Cedric

If I remember correctly, I did roughly the following:
1. apt-get source vdr (version 1.7) 2. Get the VDR 2.x source package 3. Replace the contents of the apt-get checkout with 2.x 4. Adjust or remove the Debian patches as needed 5. fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage 6. dpkg -i ../*.deb
I have the 2.0.x source checkout on my VDR box. I can check it if you need more details.
BTW, compiling the softdevice (not softhddevice) plugin took some more effort, including installing suitably old ffmpeg and DirectFB. :)
