Sorry copy paste error. GCC it less forgiving than visual c++ but it should be fixed now.

Quote:staffan80: Yes xbmc does support VDPAU but I'm not sure how well the deinterlacers are supported (I use a sandy bridge processor in my HTPC),

Thank you for your quick response :=)
I found the problem! It was´nt the de-interlacers, it was xrandr not switching refreshrate, I have been searching many threads in this forum and found that i had to specify "Option "DynamicTwinView" "False" in my xorg.conf file. Now the picture quality and motion is perfekt (Like mythfrontend)

Now to investigate problems with zapping between channels. 50% of the time when i switch channels is quits back to the Tv channels menu.

Hi,

Great work on this! Thanks!

Just wondering how often this gets merged into to the main PVR branch? (I'm on the XvBA bandwagon too)?

So far, I don't believe it has been merged at all? Although, I'm not really sure what the reason for this is, since it seems to be working pretty well now and also it's kept up to date with the main PVR code....

Channel changing times w/ HDHomeRun - opteron123 - 2012-01-18 04:17

Hi,

Just wondering how long it takes other peoples myth/xbmc/HDHomerun setups to change channels?

I currently run tsp42 XBMC build & Mythbackend .24 on a single machine. Channel input is through a HD Homerun (1st generation)

XBMC takes anywhere between 5-12 seconds to switch channels.

Using MythFrontend it takes around 2-5 seconds.

Does that sound about right?

Cheers.

Yes xbmc is slower to change channels as it does some buffering before starting playback.

Hi, is there any way to install this addon on an xbmc installation based on opdenkamp git repository (install.sh from pulse-eight)?? Or is the addon only availible as a complete and fresh install of xbmc.?

Is it possible that someone, who compiled the whole thing could give me only the needes files as an addon zip file that works with my latest xbmc build from opdenkamp? I'm having some troubles with tvheadend thats why i ask...

thanks in advance!

Nope, you need to install the whole tree, see: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=971585&postcount=331 PVR add-ons are binary add-ons, not Python-based, hence no easy way to bundle. Not to mention that there may be slight API/ABI differences between tsp and opdenkamp repo at any given time.

tsp42: perhaps you need to add a FAQ/section on the first post that addresses the fact that the cmyth add-on can't be "dropped in" to another PVR based build and needs to be built from the whole tree. This question has come up several times.

Thank you for your advice. Very helpfull in deed, i did not find anything about it via thread search. A FAQ is a good idea!

Maybe i have to try this tree on a new partition...
Will this addon be ported to the pvr master tree some day? Maybe thats worth the waiting...
