 Could somebody help me on that issue?

Use scandvb with the option -o vdr.

Re: [vdr] Changing location of /srv/vdr

 I am running vdr on Fedora Core 6 and found that I couldn't start vdr

 I believe the problem is the fact that the default directory for vdr
 is /srv/vdr which doesn't exist and causes the service to hang. How
 do I change this default so vdr runs as a service?

from man 8 vdr:
-v dir, --video=dir 
  Use dir as video directory.  The default is /srv/vdr. 

If you are using the RPM provided by Fedora Extras, you can change this 
in /etc/sysconfig/vdr, there should be a line starting with 
VDR_OPTIONS.

But why don't you just create /srv/vdr?

Re: [vdr] VPS autotimer stopped prematurely

 Hmm, to clarify: the reliability of VPS is impaired starting from
 00:00 CET up to which time? Which times are impared, start and/or end
 time?

All events are stopped (status 1) on 0100 CET/0200 CEST. So if you have 
an event that runs from 0030 CET to 0130 CET, it will stop (status 1) 
on 0100 CET. For the next event, in this case starting at 0130, 
everything will be okay, so status 4 will be transmitted at the correct 
time.

So for every programme which will end (or might end in the case of a 
delay) after 0100 CET/0200 CEST, you'll have to take into account that 
the VPS timer will stop at 0100/0200.

 Maybe Klaus could syslog some more detailed infos regarding the
 deviation, and possibly check the values semantically, e.g. in this
 case, vdr could have checked the original duration, compared with the
 broadcasted one, and better had used the longer one.. Could that be a
 useful strategy? Does anybody see downsides?

No, I don't think this is the right way. This is really something the 
broadcaster has to fix.

Andreas.
