I'm using freevo+vdr since Christmas and I'm amazed with the results. I have
2 dvb-t cards, one of them a hybrid model, so I watch digital tv from vdr
and analog tv from tvtime-plugin in freevo.
For the analog part, I've configured freevo as usually in local.conf,
following the instructions in the wiki.
For vdr, it's a bit more complicated. First of all, I run vdr in daemon mode
from inittab, with several plugins, among them teletext and xineliboutput.
Then, I've configured a main menu entry in freevo ("Watch digital TV")
that runs "vdr-sxfe", wich is the actual "viewer" for vdr (because both are
budget cards). So, I can watch one show and record another one, do
time-shifting,... Of course, recording digital tv only works with vdr, and I
have to view recorded shows also from vdr (though there are several plugins
that converts vdr recordings to avi). I mean vdr is not integrated into
freevo in my setup, so I have two "watch tv" entries in the main menu, and I
can only record analog tv from freevo record server.
I'm using debian sid with the following packages and repository:
Packages
- vdr
- vdr-plugin-xineliboutput
- libxineliboutput-sxfe
- libxine-xvdr
- vdr-plugin-osdteletext
