armv7h repo for allwinner A20?

[cdwijs]

I have an allwinner A20 running arch linux. Would you consider building the packages for this architecture?

Kind regards, Cedric

I spoke too soon. There already is a repository armv7h. I only needed to add the following to /etc/pacman.conf, and run pacman -Sy:

[vdr4arch] SigLevel = PackageRequired Server = http://creimer.net/vdr4arch/repos/vdr4arch/os/armv7h/

The following link lists all architectures, currently arm, armv6h, armv7h, i686, x86_64: http://creimer.net/vdr4arch/repos/vdr4arch/os/

Kind regards, Cedric

Yes, I fixed the Server= line in README.md. As I wrote in your other Bug. README.md is outdated and I could really need someone to update it and/or finish the translation of the wiki page.

Hi, I have just finished the English translation, except the words I didn't understand. For Debian, I have created a complete manual, to watch digitenne in the Netherlands. I would like to add that information to this wiki, ported to arch linux and vdr4arch Is it OK when I use the same chapters? My manual is here: https://wiki.debian.org/VDR Kind regards, Cedric ----Origineel Bericht---- Van : notifications@github.com Datum : 17/08/2014 10:21 Aan : vdr4arch@noreply.github.com Cc : cedric.dewijs@telfort.nl Onderwerp : Re: [vdr4arch] armv7h repro for allwinner A20?

Wow. That was fast. I just looked over it. Some parts of the German wiki site were missing. I translated them on my own now.

About the wiki additions: Wow, this is huge... But well, feel free to add it here. Good documentation is never wrong.

I tried to enable xineliboutput.

I have just read the VDR article on the arch linux wiki. After installing the packets, no configuration files have to be altered to use xineliboutput with VDR. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VDR Why didn't you package the default configuration files?

Kind regards, Cedric

I have obtained the xineliboutput.conf by executing the PKGCONFIG from archvdr: svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/archvdr/code archvdr The working configuration is:

Now a graphical screen with "no signal" comes up as expected.

Please also add the following file to the package: /var/lib/vdr/plugins/xineliboutput/allowed_hosts.conf

[cdwijs]

I have u[dated the wiki to reflect above changes

[CReimer]

The remote.conf was wrong. There were too many entries which are not necessary. Only XKeySyms makes sense. I think even XKeySyms doesn't make sense. If remote.conf is empty VDR starts up with a remote learning dialog.

For changes to PKGBUILDs please create a pull request.

[CReimer]

OK. I looked over it again. Sorry, but as far as I know it's just wrong now.

Standalone-VDR means: No Client/Server! The plugin is in local mode. remote mode is disabled. Client/Server means: Two machines one server with plugin in remote mode and one client with vdr-sxfe or vdr-fbfe.

Please think before changing anything on the wiki...
