Package: kvdr Version: current Severity: normal Hello,
a co-worker just reminded me of something from my "old more active days" as Debian maintainer: the popup message in kvdr wrapper. After rereading it, after not beeing in touch with DVB development in the last years, I must say: that popup message is AWFULL! - the English is just broken - there is a bit too much information for beginners. Too many technical details in the beginning, the real problem can be derived from guessing what is meant in the long text there, but that is too complicated. What the message should say: "Error connecting to VDR daemon or could not start a dedicated VDR daemon. Please consult the manpage kvdr(1)." And the manpage should work similarly. Not confuse with details (like kvdr vs. kvdr.real, blah, blah) but say what is needed to be done. Start vdr, make sure it listens to this and that. And in the introduction, it should mention what is the big difference to "soft device" and "xv app", those were the terms that my fellow was looking for, probably inspired by some well known guide. And he could not figure out the difference between kvdr and the other vdr plugins... so it is not really intuitive.
