[solved] vnsi plugin not installing with yavdr & vdr 2.0.1 - charlie0440 - 2013-06-23

@FernetMenta, sorry for yet another thread, I can't help but tinker

I wanted to upgrade my server to VDR 2.0. I did a fresh install of ubuntu server 13.04 and installed the yavdr unstable-vdr ppa (https://launchpad.net/~yavdr/+archive/unstable-vdr/+index?field.series_filter=raring) as it had raring packages.

The vnsi plugin appears to have compiled without an error (terminal output here: http://pastebin.com/EKzL9bM0 )

Problem is on issuing a vdr -V it does not list the plugin, also the plugin is not showing up in the plugin folders.

history:
Code:
1  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:yavdr/unstable-vdr
    2  sudo apt-get update
    3  sudo apt-get install vdr vdr-dev python-software-properties git pkg-config
    4  mkdir Downloads
    5  cd Downloads/
    6  git clone git://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons.git
    7  ls
    8  cd xbmc-pvr-addons/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver
    9  sudo make
   10  history

Note - I had to install pkg-config otherwise I get an error message about it when compiling vnsi

RE: vnsi plugin not installing with yavdr & vdr 2.0.1 - FernetMenta - 2013-06-23

compile the plugin with
make (no sudo, run sudo make clean, if you compiled with sudo)

install with
sudo make install

You still need to tell vdr to load the plugin, not sure how ya-vdr handles this.

RE: vnsi plugin not installing with yavdr & vdr 2.0.1 - charlie0440 - 2013-06-23

worked perfect thanks. VDR loads the plugin without me having to do anything else.

Minor moan, every time I compile the plugin I have to create the vnsiserver4 folder and the allowed_hosts file. Could / Should this not happen during compilation?

Again thanks for the great work and support!!

Why? I have my config files in /var/vdr and neither vdr build nor vnsi build touches them.

Quote:Should this not happen during compilation?

How should the build know about the content of your config? Those files can't be created automatically.

RE: [solved] vnsi plugin not installing with yavdr & vdr 2.0.1 - axelgenus - 2013-06-23

Configuration files are added automatically if you install the DEB package from yaVDR repository and it has nothing to do with compilation of the plugin. Wink

RE: [solved] vnsi plugin not installing with yavdr & vdr 2.0.1 - FernetMenta - 2013-06-23

Even the yaVDR packagers don't know what clients you would like to give access in allowed_hosts. This file should not be deleted/overwritten by any install script.

RE: [solved] vnsi plugin not installing with yavdr & vdr 2.0.1 - charlie0440 - 2013-06-23

I understand what your saying and its no trouble to create one. I just meant if during compile could it check if a allowed_hosts file exists and if it does not it creates one.

Initial allowed_hosts.conf allows only localhost to be connected to VNSI. When the package is updated or removed configuration is left as it is: apt just ask you what you want to do if the file differs from the package "safe" one.
