1. Repositories
   

   You can set a list of package repositories which provide the necessary packages. Feel free to use own PPAs if you need special customization to the VDR and it’s plugins.

   branch: unstable
   repositories:
     - 'ppa:yavdr/main'
     - 'ppa:yavdr/unstable-main'
     - 'ppa:yavdr/{{branch}}-vdr'
     - 'ppa:yavdr/{{branch}}-kodi'
     - 'ppa:yavdr/{{branch}}-yavdr'
   

2. Drivers
   

   Automatically installed drivers can be very useful, but if you know you need a certain driver, you can simply set it’s value to true. If you don’t want a driver to be installed, set it’s value to false.

   drivers:
     sundtek: auto
     ddvb-dkms: auto
   

3. Additional Packages
   

   Add additional packages you would like to have on your installation to this list

   extra_packages:
     - vim
     - tree
     - w-scan
   

4. VDR
   

   This section allows you to set the recording directory, the user and group that runs the vdr and it’s home directory.

   user

   the vdr user name

   group

   the main group for the user vdr

   uid

   the user id for the user vdr

   gid

   the group id for the group vdr

   home

   the home directory for the user vdr

   recdir

   the recording directory used by VDR

   hide_first_recording_level

   let vdr hide the first directory level of it’s recording directory so the content of multiple directories is shown merged together

   safe_dirnames

   replace special characters which are not compatible with Windows file systems and Samba shares

   override_vdr_charset

   workaround for channels with weird EPG encodings, e.g. Sky

   vdr:
       user: vdr
       group: vdr
       uid: 666
       gid: 666
       home: /var/lib/vdr
       recdir: /srv/vdr/video
       hide_first_recording_level: false
       safe_dirnames: true
       override_vdr_charset: false
   vdr_allowed_hosts: []

        apt:
            upgrade: dist
            update_cache: yes

      - name: use bash instead of dash
        shell: |
          echo "set dash/sh false" | debconf-communicate
          dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive dash
      

   4. create user vdr

          install_recommends: no
            
      

   8. create directories
      
   9. create sudoers drop-in for vdr
      
   10. basic scripts for standby support
       

       Stop vdr before entering suspend and unload dvb modules, reverse this operation on resume

   #
   # Keymaps table
   #
   # This table creates an association between a keycode file and a kernel
   # driver. It can be used to automatically override a keycode definition.
   #
   # Although not yet tested, it is mented to be added at udev.
   #
   # To use, you just need to run:
   #       ./ir-keytable -a
   #
   # Or, if the remote is not the first device:
   #       ./ir-keytable -a -s rc1         # for RC at rc1
   #
   
   # Format:
   #       driver - name of the driver provided via uevent - use * for any driver
   #       table -  RC keymap table, provided via uevent - use * for any table
   #       file - file name. If directory is not specified, it will default to
   #               /etc/rc_keymaps.
   # For example:
   # driver        table                           file
   # cx8800        *                               ./keycodes/rc5_hauppauge_new

4. intel.yml
   

   KMS drivers (like for intel (i915) and amd (radeon)) require additional configuration besides a customized xorg.conf - for a „static“ output configuration (which works if the TV or AV receiver is not turned on) we need to force loading the display(s) EDID early during the boot process.

   This task therefore performs the following actions after the xrandr detection has been executed:

   • create an initramfs-hook to copy the EDID(s) into the initramfs
   • get the connector names and match them to the ones determined by xrandr (this is done by xrandr_facts.py)
   • add kernel boot arguments to set EDID and mode (refreshrate and resolution) for all outputs
   • recreate and update initramfs and grub config

   Please note that rescanning the connected displays works only after removing the forced loading of EDID(s) during boot (call clean-edids) and a reboot.
