Fantastic plugin. I've been dreaming of something like this!

Had it running for a few weeks now. I get the occasional lockup when changing channels but that may be the way I am controlling it (xbmc constellation). The only annoying issue, which may not be related to the plugin at all, rather xbmc-pvr is that I find xbmc locks up when I exit, shutdown or reboot. After a couple of minutes it crashes and restarts the GUI. But because this is xbmcbuntu it leaves me with no way to get into to the main desktop. I'm stuck in xmbc mode!

The only way I can fix it is to disable the plugin, disable 'Enable Live TV' which results in a lockup then crash, then disable 'Enable Live TV' again. A bit annoying as all channels etc have to be readded on next boot.

Is anyone else having this? I've replicated it on two seperate installs now

Try disabling live TV, resetting PVR database and EPG database disable plugin, then enable live TV and then the plugin....leave for a while to import stuff and reboot and test

Thanks redknight, will do.

It's also occured to me that if I just ssh onto the the machine, I have no real reason to get to the desktop anyway

Also, I may be doing a clean install later today (sep issue) If so, I'll note down all those depencies needed for your excellent tutorial as I found that if one is missing at the end (g++?) you have to do a 'make clean' then go back a few steps once added (./configure)

[WIP] PVR Client Addon for XBMC for EPG and full control of Dreambox and DBox2 - redknight - 2012-04-07

Yes, pls take note of all libraries etc that you add and I'll amend my tutorial

RE: [WIP] PVR Client Addon for XBMC for EPG and full control of Dreambox and DBox2 - afly - 2012-04-07

sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential

logging off to test this has worked, be back in a sec

-- edit: worked fine, probably best to add them to the start along with the git install. While your editing it, the make command definitely needs sudo elevation. Interestingly 'make install' does not

Some changes - now the shutdown should work again...

Code:
0.1.8 

- change: fetch the recording locations and use these locations when querying the recordings      

- fix: Stop update thread when destroying the PVR addon - fixes shutdown issues

hi jdembski,

unfortunately XMBC can still not clean finish.
When debugging, it remains to put this in vudata.cpp stand.

Code:
StoreChannelData();

        }

      }

      // Trigger Timer and Recording updates acording to the addon settings

->      XBMC->Log(LOG_INFO, "%s Perform Updates!", __FUNCTION__);

      if (g_bAutomaticTimerlistCleanup)

Is it really stuck permanently? At least after 5 seconds it should stop the thread...

Yes, each time the end of XBMC

OK, I debugged it on linux with gdb and changed some stuff - at least for me it is exiting normally now (before this it would also crash with a segfault - I didn't look into it because I thought it was due to some XBMC-PVR-internal stuff)

I now have the addon as a "release (DirectX)" compiled. Now XBMC crashes when accessing the "channeldata.xml". The "channeldata.xml" is 0 KB in size.

Compiled as a "debug (DirectX)" works just fine.

Can you check the compiler / preprocessor options? My ms visual studio license expired, so I cannot check it
