Description Martin Gramatke 2005-11-06 01:39:34 UTC 
/etc/conf.d/vdr allows you to set the home directory of vdr by the variable 
VIDEO=.... But /etc/init.d/vdr ignores this setting and uses /var/vdr anytime.
Comment 1 Matthias Schwarzott gentoo-dev 2005-11-06 04:45:49 UTC 
The init-script of vdr gives the content of the variable VIDEO as option 
--video to the vdr-process. This is the directory where vdr stores the 
recordings. I would not call this ignoring. 
What you mean is that the home-directory of vdr is hardcoded to /var/vdr, yes 
that is right, but what is the problem with this? 
There is no data vdr itself stores there regularly.
Comment 2 Martin Gramatke 2005-11-07 12:01:50 UTC 
I wasn't aware that vdr_home and VIDEO are completely independent, sorry. 
Please close or better delete this bug report.
Comment 3 Matthias Schwarzott gentoo-dev 2005-11-20 05:01:44 UTC 
No need to change anything as requested function is controlled by setting VIDEO 
and not vdr_home.
