[vdr] Converting videos into vdr TS format

2013-05-27 Thread Laurence Abbott
Hi, Has anyone worked out a simple way of converting, e.g. part of a DVD or any miscellaneous video into an MPEG-TS that vdr is happy to play? I had a bit of a play with ffmpeg and mencooder but never managed to generate something that vdr would play! Cheers, Laz ___

[vdr] vdr 1.7 -> 2.1 upgrade tips (FHS)

2013-11-04 Thread Laurence Abbott
Hi, I've been using vdr for a number of years now, mainly keeping abreast of the latest development versions. However, I "missed" the upgrades that incorporated FHS standards (busy with other stuff, etc.). I'm currently running vdr-1.7.29 (I think the last version before the changes) but think I

Having had a quick look, I ended up defining both LCLBLD=1 and ONEDIR=1 and it all built fine (with a few edits to add cVideoDirectory:: to the relevant bits in several plugins...) and I was up and running with version 2.1.2. I may or may not look into the FHS bits at a later date... Cheers, Laz
