But it helps to strip down the various init scripts, regardless if systemd, Upstart or SysV. And of course everything works with the old scripts. :) >> vdr4arch places the plugin config files to /etc/vdr/conf.available >> first.

He is the manager of the systemd crap part in the > gentoo-vdr-scripts It helps distributors for preconfiguring the vdr and its plugins, but also you can created multiple conf.d directories and symlink the one or the other to /etc/vdr/conf.d to test different configuration without messing with the old and working config. Just play a bit with it, you may find it helpful. "vdr --showargs[=DIR]" will output all options from /etc/vdr/conf.d or the given directory. You might even use this to generate lines for "old style" init scripts with all options on the commandline.
