Hi Christian

(back to the mailing list, maybe this is interesting to others...)

Ok, so I'm not doing this just for me ;-)

It does no longer build.
dvbhddevice used the AUDIO_GET_PTS ioctl, which has been removed in
kernel 4.19-rc1 with this commit:

commit d21c249b26311dd193b100e65fc9e7ae96233d40
Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
Date:   Wed May 30 11:07:04 2018 -0400

    media: dvb/audio.h: get rid of unused APIs

    There are a number of other ioctls that aren't used anywhere
    inside the Kernel tree.

    Get rid of them.


But dvbhddevice is only useful with so-called "full featured" cards,
which have an audio/video decoder built-in (and their own HDMI video out
connector). The only such card I know of is the TechnoTrend S2-6400
(which is not available for buying since some years anymore) and whose
driver never made it into the mainline kernel.

=> it would not have worked out of the box with openSUSE anyway.

I use it in a similar headless way, programming timers via vdradmin and
vdr-live plugin, if I need interactive VDR GUI I either use
xineliboutput on another machine or a raspi with streamdev and the
raspihddevice output plugin :-)

2.4 will first appear in obs://build.opensuse.org/vdr and I will be
testing it from there, before I'll eventually submit it to
factory/tumbleweed ;-)
