maybe this will help. I kept some notes when installing on
13.04 (sorry in a rush to expand on them, but they will get you started):
1) add repo
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:yavdr/unstable-vdr
sudo apt-get update
2) install packages
sudo apt-get install vdr vdr-dev vdr-plugin-streamdev-server vdr-plugin-eepg vdr-plugin-femon vdr-plugin-vdrmanager vdradmin-am python-software-properties git pkg-config
3) install vnsi4
mkdir Downloads
cd Downloads/
git clone git://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons.git
cd xbmc-pvr-addons/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver
make
sudo make install
sudo mkdir /var/lib/vdr/plugins/vnsiserver4
sudo cp /etc/vdr/plugins/streamdevhosts.conf /var/lib/vdr/plugins/vnsiserver4/allowed_hosts.conf
4) config VDR
* see notes below for more options
1st stop VDR:
sudo /etc/init.d/vdr stop
change some settings of vdr:
sudo nano /etc/default/vdr
amend the following:
ENABLED = 1 # enables the init script
MinUserInactivity = 0 # stops auto shutdown
Add your channels (if you don't have any you need to scan with w_scan, see Notes at the bottom of post):
sudo nano /etc/vdr/channels.conf
-------------------OPTIONAL:
configure your addons as desired:
sudo nano /var/lib/vdr/plugins/streamdev-server/streamdevhosts.conf
sudo nano /var/lib/vdr/plugins/vnsiserver4/allowed_hosts.conf
sudo nano /var/lib/vdr/svdrphosts.conf
sudo nano /etc/vdr/plugins/plugin.vdrmanager.conf
config addon vdradmin:
sudo nano /var/lib/vdradmin-am/vdradmind.conf
set username and password (default port 6419)
sudo nano /etc/default/vdradmin-am (may need to start service first)
set Enabled to 1
sudo /etc/init.d/vdradmin-am start
------------End of OPTIONAL
finally restart vdr
sudo /etc/init.d/vdr start
