When you get VDR to work, I would be interested to hear your experiences. MythTV does have it shortcomings.
Well, it's not that it isn't working - that permission thing is only a cosmetic detail needed for running it without mouse/keyboard. I'm using vdr since 2006 :) It does have nice features (also) for live view (timeshift, epg browsers etc) but I mostly use it for recording, (automatic) detection of advertising blocks and then watching after cutting those out....
MythTV development is a little slanted towards the US TV environment -
VDR rather is german centered (but that should be fine for Switzerland, no?)
With a large amount of channels (on satellite,,we're talking thousands), the rescheduling of recordings often takes quite long. In the minutes, which frequently causes a rescheduling to be re-started because EPG data changes, for instance.
VDR does have quite some powerful epg/scheduling plugins. If you do have some DVB hardware around I'd suggest having a look at MLD (www.minidvblinux.de) or yaVDR (www.yavdr.org), they do give a very easy start. They are Debian/Ubuntu based though. I do prefer to run on opensuse basis and thus compile myself... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
