Description

This install proces will show you how to install vdr and dvb-s2 drivers from source on sidux (debian sid based distribution). I know that compiling the source under Debian distribution isnt common and some ppl will say Debian isnt for you if you do it that way. Well if you wanna have latest developer version of VDR and DVB-S2 drivers and also ffpmeg and xine player then you need to use sources.

Hardware

For this you can use what you have. This to be Howto is based on DVB-S2 cards, and the software needed to play VDR over VGA cards aka xine-vdr plugin.

Used Hardware

This is my VDR HTPC based system:

Case:       Thermaltake Bach black
PSU:        LC Power 420 Watt - Green Power
Mainboard:  Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 rev 1.0
CPU:        Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 Boxed
RAM:        Super Talent DIMM Kit 2GB PC2-6400U
HDD:        Samsung SpinPoint T166 500GB SATA II (HD501LJ)
DVB-S2:     Technotrend-budget DVB S2-3200 <-- remote not used -->
VGA:        nVidia 9500 GT 512MB
Remote:     Medion USB X10

Getting the distribution and installing it

To obtaint sidux distribution go to http://www.sidux.com/ and download latest version. In time of writing this HowTo it was "sidux-2008-02" and for my VDR HTPC i used 64bit lite version : sidux-2008-02-erebos-kde-lite-amd64-200806252050.iso.

Direct download link for iso (470MB) http://debian.tu-bs.de/project/sidux/release/sidux-2008-02-erebos-kde-lite-amd64-200806252050.iso Some note from sidux.com

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: sidux, as a Linux LIVE-CD, is based on high compression technology, and because of that, special care is needed when burning
the ISO image. Only use high quality CD-media [or DVD+RW] and burn in DAO-mode (disk-at-once) and not faster than x8.

You my use this boot cheatcode if you get Font to be to Big when you boot live cd and this is my boot cheatcode for installing sidux on 40" LCD TV: Just press Tab before booting live cd and add at end this:

vga=0x37B dpi=75

vga=0x37B is cheatcode for resolution 1280x720x32
dpi=75 is cheatcode for Dot´s Per Inch for your display

More info about Cheatcodes for sidux you can find here: http://manual.sidux.com/en/cheatcodes-en.htm

After installing distribution make shure your sidux distribution is updated to latest version, we will first get latest debian.list and source.list

cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d && wget -O debian.list http://sidux.com/files/misc/sources.list.d/debian.list && wget -O sidux.list http://sidux.com/files/misc/sources.list.d/sidux.list

We will also need extras, for the extras use as root:

wget -qO /usr/local/bin/extras http://extras.741.com/extras && cd /usr/local/bin && chmod +x extras && extras

You dont need to install anything here ist important to have debian-multimedia source list named: multimedia.list in /etc/apt/sources.d/ for installing some -dev library which are not found in other sources list. Dist-upgrade

init 3
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade -d (only download files)
apt-get dist-upgrade (update files)

If new kernel is installed then reboot and boot in new kernel. After booting in the new Kernel we need also to install graphics driver for our nVidia card, and for that we will use smxi sidux Maintenance script from h2. We will switch to terminal:

Ctrl+Alt+F1

then login with root and your root password switch to init 3 (shoot down X)

init 3

install smxi script

cd /usr/local/bin; wget techpatterns.com/smxi.zip;unzip smxi.zip;smxi

Configure script, but dont do dist upgrade or anything with it, we will use it only for graphics driver:

sgfxi -co 173.14.12

switch to init 5 (start X)

init 5

Setup your resolution with nvidia tool, i am using 1920x1080@60Hz for Full HD resolution on my Samsung LE-40M86BD LCD TV. If you are looged as user in X (and you should) you will not have rights to write nvidia settings to X11 configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf but you can copy that code from nvidia settings window and paste in X11 as root user from console.

su
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_orig
vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Press I for insert Paste that settings from nvidia configuration tool, Press Escape and type

:wq

Now you can reboot to see if you will get it working on resolution you just setup (or restart X : init 3 and init 5 from terminal or CTRL+Alt+Backspace) Now we setup everything for building VDR on our system.

Lirc

I will use Medion USB X10 remote control, here is what you need to do to get it working:

apt-get install lirc-modules-source
dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source

Check atiusb from the list rest uncheck. Copy lircd.conf from this wiki http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Fernbedienung_-_USB_X10 and save to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf Edit hardware.conf file and add that lirc_atiusb modules

vi /etc/lirc/hardware.conf <-- and change settings to match with code belove -->

Code: hardware.conf part of it

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="default"
# If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and udev is in use /dev/lirc0 will be
# automatically used instead
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_atiusb"

#Module compile and install
apt-get install module-assistant
module-assistant -f auto-install lirc-modules-source

Blacklist the atiremote

vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist 
#Hit I for Insert mode, and add to the end of file 
blacklist ati_remote
#Hit Escape and write :wq to save and quite vi editor
reboot

And check with "/usr/bin/irw" if remote is working when you press some buttons on it.

DVB-S2 Drivers

We will use Manu´s multiproto tree: Install dvb driver from multiproto, for that we need mercurial for "hg clone etc"

apt-get update
apt-get install mercurial
cd /usr/local/src
hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto dvb
cd /usr/src/dvb/linux/include/linux/
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/include/linux/compiler.h compiler.h
cd /usr/local/src/dvb/
make
make install
reboot

Reboot and check dmesg for log about DVB-S2 device:

saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:05:00.0[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20

Xine ffpmeg

We will use latest snapshoot for xine-lib xine-ui, and as we are building xine-lib with external ffmpeg we will use latest ffmpeg to:

ffmpeg

cd /usr/local/src/
apt-get update
apt-get install subversion liba52-dev libavdevice52 libvorbis-dev
apt-get install libxvidcore4-dev libtheora-dev libgsm1-dev libfaac-dev libfaad-dev libx264-60 libmp3lame-dev

make
make install
ldconfig

xine-lib

download xine-lib from Mercurial Repositories (xine-lib, gxine)

apt-get update
apt-get install autoconf libtool automake libXext-dev libcdio-dev libvcdinfo-dev libpostproc-dev autogen cvs libpng12-0-dev libxt-dev  autoconf libtool automake pkg-config
cd /usr/local/src/
hg clone http://hg.debian.org/hg/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.2 xine-lib-1.2-14-09-2008
cd xine-lib-1.2-14-09-2008

IMPORTANT for latest ffmpeg snapshoot you need to patch xine-lib1.2 to get it compiled with external ffmpeg, thnx to _ds_ for patch.
