Neither of the following additions to /etc/init.d/vdr has had any effect (i.e. VDR is still too early for LCDd to have come up on reboot, and will exit for that reason):
# Required-Start: $all # Should-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs lcdd Not sure if (after making changes) anything has to be invoked specifically to parse the INIT INFO blocks prior to reboot. Moreover, VDR will also have issues when starting as the order of DVB cards is random (i.e. intermittently changing between reboots) unless /etc/modprobe.d/dvb is appended as follows: install dvb-ttpci /sbin/modprobe budget-av; /sbin/modprobe --ignore- install dvb-ttpci To avoid buffer underruns while v4l(2) issues persist (cf. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-v4l/+bug/243734) , the following setting to maximum value should also be added to /etc/modprobe.conf.local: options budget-core bufsize=1410 ** Summary changed: - VDR won't autostart on boot as ENABLED=1 in /etc/default/vdr is ignored + VDR startup issues ** Description changed: + The first impression was that ENABLED=1 in /etc/default/vdr would be + ignored, but in fact the startup script was found to exit immediately + for the reasons described below. + Hence a manual sudo /etc/init.d/vdr/start is required, which is kind of pointless for a DVR with long-term timers that should automagically come back to life after reboot without requiring user intervention.
