Back then a VDR was something special, while today it's just an ordinary device.
Well, I am sitting here installing vdr yet again on a new pc :)
It might be old, it might be this and that, but to me it is still the best there is. Simple, efficient and works all the time. I have been using it since the first version, and I will probably use it for as long as it can be used.
So again, thank you Klaus!

Ditto!
I've been using vdr continually for at least 16 years, and tinkered with it at times in the couple of years before that. Over this time, I think I've gone through about 5 different types of frontend as things have progressed over the years.
I was getting a little worried that Klaus had given it up when there hadn't been any new releases in ages. Then again, I haven't felt the need to upgrade for ages (since 2014, going by file dates!) because it "just works".
Talking of which, maybe it's time to build a new version...
:-)
Cheers,
Laz

Why not: "back to the roots" after these 20 years. VDR always worked well with a full featured Video-Device. Problems came from softhddevice, streaming to kodi and vlc, no rpihddevice for Raspberry Pi 4 and h.265.
If there where an Android VDR implementation which runs on an Amazon-Fire-TV-Stick, there is a full featured video-device 4k/60p, h.264 and h.265. Perhaps its too hard to get familiar with the Android IDE and this Java stuff. But there are other solutions. Perhaps an app from expo.io might do the job.
Yours Karl-Heinz
