I use DVB-S sources on VDR-1.7.7 with just basic plugins and xine-vdpau (r260). No special patches are needed for/to anything although I do use vdr-1.7.3-ntsc-fps.diff which changes the default framespersecond to 30.0 (NTSC) instead of 25.0 (PAL), although I've heard this is not necessary now that VDR uses mpeg-ts. It's really straight forward. > Maybe there is an english howto somewhere ? There are english forums at: http://dvbn.happysat.org (they have a linux specific forum there which is very active) http://www.hoochvdr.info (good howtos but not actively kept up anymore _I think_) vdrportal looks like a good forum but as already pointed out, it's in German and thus practically useless for all of us english-speaking users. On a side note I just want to say that I see some posts here about peoples expectations.. "I want to record X, and Y, while playing Z with no dropped frames, etc etc". I hope you guys understand that things like that are not only related to software. Your hardware is a factor and if your hardware can't do it then it can't do it and doesn't automatically mean there's a problem with your software. Your signal matters too. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
