REQUIREMENTS

------------



MOTOROLA VIP1710 device. ( http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/MOTOROLA_VIP1710 )

Usb stick formatted to ext2 filesystem.

Working VDR server with streamdev-server plugin.





INSTALL

-------



Just tar xvjf vdr_202-vip1710-0.0.9-ng-critter.tar.bz2 to ext2 formatted usb stick.



Modify vdr config files in the /etc to suitable for your needs. (eg. setup.conf, remote.conf, channels.conf..)

Modify runvdr.sh script to activate/unactivate plugins.

Modify pre-vdr.sh scripts if needed. (Launch something before vdr starts. eg. nfs mount)

Modify plugrc (eg. if you need activate logging)



If you have problem with your timezone.

Telnet your vip1710 and mount flash filesystems to read/write access.

mount -o remount,rw /flash

mount -o remount,rw /flash2

Then set your timezone with command:

toish is SetObject cfg.locale.timezone Europe/Helsinki

(you can check available timezones from /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/)

You can copy additional timezones from working ubuntu system.



That's it ! Enjoy !





COUPLE OF HINTS!

----------------



If you are editing configs when telnet to vip1710 you can use nano (which I think is more easier than vi).

You have to just eg. "export TERM=vt102" then nano will work.

(maybe this is just restriction with putty or something)



Usefull kill commands to free cpu power and memory.



killall -9 runvdr.sh vdr (to kill vdr process)

killall -9 halserver procman; watchdog -t 5 /dev/misc/watchdog (to kill halserver etc.)
