vdr has 2 types of conf files -
1) internal databases - like channels.conf, setup.conf
2) real conf files like scr.conf, diseqc.conf etc
1 should be in /var/lib/vdr
2 should be in /etc/vdr/
This is kind of hard to handle properly as vdr doesn't make this
distinction. conf files in /var/lib is a no-go, application changed
files in /etc is a no-go either.

If video is served by vdr or not is a bit of opinion. IMHO recordings
is THE data served by vdr, it should not be hidden somewhere
in /var/lib , in yavdr we also make it available in the local network
by smb and nfs - those we use this directory. video0 , because it
allows for easy extension of storage space, without reconfiguring vdr,
video1, video2 and videoX will be used autmatically by vdr at next
start.
