vdr-server

vdr-server is an open-source Linux snap for the VDR server. It belongs to the Video & Media Players category and is intended for systems that use VDR to handle video and media services. The snap provides VDR with the vnsiserver plugin enabled by default.

Additional plugins can be enabled or disabled while the snap is running. The available optional plugins are streamdev in server mode, epgsearch, epgfixer, live, and dvbapi. Plugin settings use the snap configuration command, such as snap set vdr-server pluginname=true. This lets administrators control the listed plugin options without changing the package itself.

All configuration files for the snap are stored in /var/snap/vdr-server/current/lib/. For VDR to work seamlessly, the dvb, hardware-observe, network-control, and process-control interfaces should be connected. These interfaces provide the snap connections specified for operating VDR with the required device, system, and network access.

MirrorNest distributes the official vdr-server build by mirroring it directly onto its own storage. The build is scanned for malware before it is published in the catalog. This makes vdr-server available through MirrorNest as a Linux media-server package while retaining its open-source licensing and its existing snap-based configuration model. If additional plugins are needed in the snap, requests can be filed through the vdr-server issue tracker.
