With the preinstalled raspberrypi-userland of Raspberry OS Legacy, that 
problem does not exist. I submitted a fix:

https://github.com/reufer/rpihddevice/pull/3

I wasted quite a bit of time because the README file of that repository 
points to git://projects.vdr-developer.org/vdr-plugin-rpihddevice.git 
which has not been updated since 1.0.4. Other compilation issues that I 
faced had been fixed in the 1.0.5 release.

For Debian Bookworm, I compiled and installed the userland library like 
this:

sudo apt install build-essential cmake
git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland.git/
(cd userland; ./buildme)

With this in place, I was able to compile and install vdr and the two 
plugins that I intend to use.

git clone http://git.tvdr.de/vdr.git

(cd vdr/PLUGINS/src; git clone https://github.com/reufer/rpihddevice.git)

curl http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/vdr-remote-0.7.0.tgz --output -|
tar xzf - -C vdr/PLUGINS/src
ln -s remote-0.7.0 vdr/PLUGINS/src/remote

make -C vdr -j$(nproc)
sudo make -C vdr install

Currently, VDR refuses to start up like this:
* failed to open vchiq instance

I did not have that problem on Raspberry OS Legacy last week. I believe 
that I will have to adjust some boot parameters to allow more memory to 
be allocated to the VideoCore GPU. The booting setup appears to be a bit 
different between Debian and Raspberry OS.

I understand that for users in Germany, rpihddevice may be of limited 
use due to the lack of H.265 support:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1168/
Luckily, Finland uses H.264 for DVB-T2.

It would be great if raspberrypi-userland and rpihddevice could be 
packaged in Debian.
