To make the individual steps as small as possible, I would like to begin without any special hardware, just a normal PC. It turns out VDR refuses to run when no DVB card is found. Is there a configuration option somewhere to let VDR run without hardware? Can I create a dummy DVB device somehow? The guide (unfinished) is here: https://wiki.debian.org/VDR Best regards, Cedric My versions: VDR 1.7.28 Debian 7.2.0 Stable (installed today) The error in /var/log/syslog ... No DVB device found ERROR: invalid primary device number: 1 ERROR: no primary device found = using first device! ERROR: invalid primary device number: 1 ... exiting, exit code 2 runvdr: stopping after fatal fail (vdr: no primary device found - using first device!) Hi All, For now I have stated in the tutorial it's not possible to start VDR without hardware. In the meantime, I have found virtualDVB. It looks like you can feed it video from VLC, and it then presents itself as a DVB device. https://launchpad.net/virtual-dvb Does anybody has experience with this solution? Best regards, Cedric
