Yes, VDR, when started with vaapidevice, does ask me to press some keys on my remote to "detect the protocol". Except that I probably don't have a compatible remote for the mygica, or maybe the mygica "input device" in xinput does not count as a "LIRC remote", or I don't have lircd running, or its config is empty, or some such. Will need to check that. I can work on that later. The startup autodetector doesn't seem to respond to keyboard inputs. And I do have the source directory for VDR on my hdd, so I'm gonna check the compile-time config as well.
