Fresh install 12.04:VDR not working ("libcec.so.2")?

[pointman87]

Rebelkiller: Have you installed some special version of VDR or its plugins? I have CEC control on 2 of my 4 MDs and i don't have any issue. The only plugin i have installed besides the ones provided on the LinuxMCE install is vdr-plugin-sc.

We have a new libcec3 online, which no longer wants to remove libcec2. Please apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and install libcec2 as well.

See if that helps your issues.

[Marie.O]

rebelkiller,

feedback would be appreciated.

[Marie.O]

I have build all the needed vdr plugins locally, disabled the libcec support in VDR (which isn't needed for LinuxMCE purposes in there anyhow), and uploaded the debs to deb.linuxmce.org for precise i386

Feedback is appreciated.

[Marie.O]

A note from another install: Make sure you have removed any yavdr repo in the sources.list and sources.list.d

[rebelkiller]

Installation of libcec2 did the job. Now I have both, libcec2 and libcec3. VDR is working.


I'm using yavdr (testing-repo) 2.2.0 with no problems. Before updating I did not set back to the standard repos.

I would say: problem solved.


Thank you guys!
