Get our Ubuntu packages from Launchpad

If you want to stick to your Ubuntu installation and just like to add our VDR packages to your setup: You are invited to add one or more of these Launchpad PPAs to your apt-sources list.

Note: We don't recommend to install the yavdr-* packages (yavdr-startup, yavdr-essential, yavdr-utils) on an ordinary Ubuntu installation. You will definitly run into problems if you do that. As a consequence, you won't be able to have the yaVDR web frontend on your ordinary Ubuntu installation. The only way to get the yaVDR web frontend is to install the complete yaVDR distribution from the ISO image.

For Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala):

  • You can install packages of VDR 1.7.x + VDR plugins + Nvidia driver + dvb-s2api-liplianin-dkms and many more from this PPA.
  • Packages of XBMC-PVR-Testing are available from two different PPAs:
    • For the current XBMC-pvr-testing2 packages used in yaVDR, use this PPA.
    • For the latest experimental builds of XBMC-pvr-testing2, use this PPA.

For Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx): Please use the PPAs marked as stable at https://launchpad.net/~yavdr

Get VDR packages for Debian

yaVDR hughly builds upon the good work of Tobias Grimm and Thomas Günther who work hard to offer the best possible Debian packages containing the latest VDR software components. Both guys are not members of the yaVDR project, instead they are working on their own Debian-based VDR distribution called c't VDR that has been around for a couple of years. If you want to use VDR on Debian, we recommend you to use c't VDR or their package repositories.
