vdr ist ein sehr beliebter und sehr praktischer, linux-basierter digitaler Videorekorder für DVB-Fernsehen mit hohem WAF.
Das Team von e-tobi.net hat daraus eine an Debian angepasste Distribution gebacken, die in Deutschland auch als c’t vdr bekannt ist. Die vdr-Pakete von Ubuntu sind grob von e-tobi abgeleitet, aber e-tobi ist aktiver, bietet mehr Pakete und häufigere Updates. Es lag also nahe, deren Pakete zu Ubuntu zu portieren. Dank der geduldigen Hilfe von Tobias Grimm ist es nun so weit, dass die meisten e-tobi Quellpakete auch unter Ubuntu sauber compilieren. Auf geht’s: |
vdr is a very popular, linux-based digital video recorder software with lots of interesting features and a high WAF.
The e-tobi.net team has created a binary distribution for Debian that is known in Germany as c’t vdr. Ubuntu comes with its own vdr binaries, some based on e-tobi, but the e-tobi team offers more packages and updates them more often. Obviously, I wanted their packages on my Ubuntu-based TV PC. Thanks to Tobias Grimm’s help, most of the e-tobi sources can now be compiled for Ubuntu without additional patches. Here we go: |
# /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vdr-etobi-hanno.list

Noch ist das alles sehr, sehr beta. Ich habe wenig Erfahrung mit Debian-Repositories, möglicherweise wurden Pakete falsch übersetzt, möglicherweise sind für Ubuntu falsche Abhängigkeiten drin. Deshalb wären erste Tester hilfreich.
Bei mir ist diese vdr-Version mit ein paar wenigen Plugins (epgsearch, live, skinsoppalusikka) stabil im Einsatz, installiert auf einem Ubuntu Server-System ohne X mit einer Budget- und einer FF-DVB-Karte. Herzlichen Dank für Tests und Rückmeldungen, gerne auch im vdr-portal. Nachtrag: Die Pakete sind jetzt für i386 und amd64 verfügbar. |
This is still very very beta. I know little about creating debian repositories, some packages may be compiled with the wrong options, some may have broken dependencies. So please help beta-testing them.
This version of vdr is in use on my TV PC, running the Ubuntu server distribution without X with a budget dvb and a full-featured dvb card. With a few plugins (epgsearch, live, skinsoppalusikka), it has been stable so far. Any help testing and improving these packages is very welcome. You’re also invited to join the (German) discussion on vdr-portal. Update: Packages now available for i386 and amd64. |
[...] Apropos DVB-T Wow, thanks to all for all the good feedback and suggestions I got about the v4l-dvb driver package. If you are still looking for a nice and feature-rich frontend, you can take a look at the newer vdr packages for Ubuntu. [...]
Hi. Das Repo gefällt mir
Jedoch fände ich es toll, wenn noch der Multiproto/DVB-S2-Patch eingespielt werden könnten – denn anders läuft meine TT3200 nicht… Ich hab’s auch schon mit VDR selbst kompilieren versucht, jedoch hab ich’s nach dem 20. Fehler korrigieren aufgegeben.

Have you considered contacting the motumedia team? We are providing a similar repository for multimedia related packages, and I’ll happily include updated vdr packages for hardy and even earlier distributions there.
Regarding your comment in http://martinpitt.wordpress.com/2008/06/11/apropos-dvb-t/#comment-82 since ubuntu takes packages from debian pretty much unmodified, the comment is not correct as it stands. What is in the end neede is just someone to verify the packages work and publish them. If you would volunteer to do so, let’s work on that together in the MOTUMedia PPA.
What do you think?
@siretart:
since ubuntu takes packages from debian pretty much unmodified, the comment is not correct as it stands.
The e-tobi packages are the testbed for the Debian packages and there are more packages in e-tobi than on Debian.
The Ubuntu vdr packages were taken from Debian and some from e-tobi, some slightly modified.
The e-tobi packagers are also the Debian packagers. Timo, the Ubuntu vdr packager is also a Debian packager.
So everybody’s cooperating already and things are fine, as far as I can tell.
Let’s work on that together in the MOTUMedia PPA.
Allow me to offer these packages to test them for some time, then they might move from here to a Launchpad ppa.

I’m offering you the possibilty to provide these test packages in an PPA, so you don’t have to maintain that repository yourself, including direct upload access. If you are intersted, please contact me via email.
