Re: [vdr] Changing location of /srv/vdr

2007-06-09 Thread Chris Matchett 

Thanks for the tip about VDR_OPTIONS.

The Fedora package did not create /srv/vdr and I didn't want to use this
location anyway as I currently record tv to another location and wanted to
stick with that.

Excellent software by the way!

If you're using the Fedora (Extras) package, it should have created the dir 
for you when you installed the package, see "rpm -ql vdr".  What does "rpm -V 
vdr" output?

from man 8 vdr:
-v dir, --video=dir 
  Use dir as video directory.  The default is /srv/vdr. 

If you are using the RPM provided by Fedora Extras, you can change this 
in /etc/sysconfig/vdr, there should be a line starting with 
VDR_OPTIONS.

But why don't you just create /srv/vdr?

Andreas.
