Linuxmce Hacks and Tips

LinuxMCE includes support of VDR since 0710 Beta 3. But the integration is done for core/hybrid only. To be able watch TV on the media director you should make a simple hack (thanks to Rafik):

• Move original binary file plutovdr to plutovdr.orig, for example
  sudo mv /usr/bin/plutovdr /usr/bin/plutovdr.orig
• create a wrapper for VDR:
  sudo vim /usr/bin/plutovdr
  and put following content there:
  #!/bin/sh
plutovdr.orig dcerouter $* 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null

AS result you’ll able to watch the same channel as on the core/hybrid. But it’s better then nothing. Hope that LinucMCE developers will implement full integration with VDR soon.
