Fedora / Red Hat
VDR and the necessary plugin to connect it to XBMC is part of Fedora since version 18. There is no need to compile anything or use third party repositories. Just follow the instructions here.

Installing Backend
sudo yum install vdr

Installing VNSI
VNSI is used to make VDR accessible to XBMC.

sudo yum install vdr-vnsiserver3 sudo nano /etc/vdr/plugins/vnsiserver3/allowed_hosts.conf	 ## Edit allowed hosts

Channel Scanning
You only have to scan for available channels once. This depends heavily upon the technology you use to access LiveTV (DVB-T or DVB-S or whatever) and the place where you are. This is an example for DVB-T in Israel:

sudo scandvb -x 0 -o vdr -a 0 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/il-All > /etc/vdr/channels.conf ## Scan Israeli DVB-T service.

Running VDR
Start VDR once manually. sudo systemctl start vdr Stop VDR. sudo systemctl stop vdr Autostart VDR on every system boot. sudo systemctl enable vdr
