Hello,
I've got problems with the above described configuration...
Everytime I Select TV, I get the following message:
"I cannot play this media. Perhaps there is not a valid device in this entertainment area capable of playing it..."
I set up my LinuxMCE 710 from single sided DVD...
Installed WinTV Nova HD S2 card with drivers... <- works
Searched for channels... <- works
add the channel list with the admin webpage to the vdr configuration <- works
setup the remote control... <- works
VDR starts and I can browse the EPG in VDRAdmin Webpage...
Can anybody help me?
I think I'm close to the goal...
Thanks
christian

thank you for the fast answer ;-)
Yes I follow the supposed howto...
I just checked the /var/lib/vdr/setup.conf and found that it is overwritten everytime I stop the vdr process...
more precise:
1. I stop the vdr by /etc/init.d/vdr stop
2. I edit /var/lib/vdr/setup.conf with vi as described in the howto
3. I start the vdr by /etc/init.d/vdr start
now it doest work as before, but the changes in the setup.conf are still there
4. I stop the vdr again as above...
now the changes in the setup.conf are gone :-(

You have to stop VDR before making changes, as I think is mentioned in that article. VDR writes out the setup.conf at closing time.
Did you add the relevant plugins, i.e. xineliboutput and streamdev-server/-client

Yes I stopped the VDR befor I made the changes...
Then I started it to see whether the changes make a difference...
But when I stop VDR again after testing... The changes are gone
(like described above)
how can I check if the relevant plugins are correctly installed and whether they are running?

When you restart VDR manually, ie. /etc/init.d/vdr start it will show you all the installed plugins. |

ahhh ;-)
sure
ok...
Searching for lugins (VDR1.6.0-1/1.6.0) (cache hit): stremdev-server control xineliboutput.
... is the output.
so i think every thing is ok there...
perhaps its a bad question... but i installed from dvd singlesided version 710...
I didn't care about core/md setup because i didnt know anything...
does this dvd install a hybrid automatically???
oder do i have core only and this is my problem?
greetings
Christian

The DVD is not a real installer but just dumps an image of a hybrid on the drive and configures it a bit.

ok... so this is not my problem i think...
but what do i have to put in the setup.conf of vdr in this case...
both?? core and md lines???
so i tried all possibilities and i think there have to be both lines..
but the problem is that the config file is overwritten when i stop the vdr as described above ;-)
i dont understand that
wow... client missing... trying again...

ok... update... this plugins are installed: checked

xineliboutput
the problem sure is connected to the disapperance of the changes in the setup.conf

You need to stop vdr before making any changes to channels.conf or setup.conf; /etc/init.d/vdr stop<return>
Now vdr has been stopped you can make the changes you need to make... then restart vdr as follows; /etc/init.d/vdr start<return>
Now your changes to channels.conf & setup.conf will be retianed and used by vdr All the best Andrew |

And you can make sure it is stopped (or running) with: /etc/init.d/vdr status |

ok.... now it runs....
I wasn't able to fix the problem... so I decided to try it the microsoft way...
complete new installation Linux MCE 710 from DVD....
But now I installed the drivers of the dvb-card before I installed VDR....
I don't know if this was the trick but now everything works....
Thanks to all your suggestions...
