Hepi,
Is it possible to install yaVDR on a running headless ubuntu server 10.04 to have the yaVDR web panel and VDR? And if yes, how?
Thanks,
John

@davecurtains: In an ideal world there would be a yaVDR server edition and a yaVDR HTPC edition, but yaVDR can be set to a "headless server" mode in the web frontend so that it doesn't expect that an HDMI cable is connected to a VDPAU GPU. In many cases, the headless server setting just does the job that the users expect from it, even if some of the packages yaVDR ships (XBMC, Firefox, etc.) remain unused on a headless server.
Once you add one channel of your sat position to VDR, VDR itself scans for new channels and will find most of them automatically. They will be automatically added to your channel list (you can configure that differently via the OSD). This is a nice feature of VDR itself and is independent from Channelpedia and we being the "distributors" don't claim credit for that feature. ;-)
Channelpedia targets the problem that beginners are overwhelmed with a high number of unsorted channels and they have to browse through all those entries to find their 20 favorite channels.
Cheers,
