i compiled it this morning and tried it on raspbmc rc5 (with the new update) but it sends me into a relax, xbmc will resume shortly loop. on rc4 it just crashes.

I doubt that raspbmc already use a XBMC version with the latest PVR API changes (from this night) - so that is most likely causing the troubles.

I'm currently building an OpenElec version for the RPi to test it.

I don't think so - as it isn't in the official repository. Once it is in there I will copy the article I wrote for Openelec:

Looks like it's time to get it into the wiki. The announcement of PVR was today http://xbmc.org/natethomas/2012/10/10/xbmc-september-cycle/

Maybe a subsection within the PVR Help & Support tooSmile?

I don't think this addon will work on RPi without proper MPEG2 acceleration support in driver.
For MPEG4 channels it should work atleast.

You can buy a license for mpeg2 hw-decoder-support, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah that's what i mean but i think most people don't have a MPEG2 license.


RE: [WIP] PVR Client Addon for XBMC for EPG and full control of Dreambox and DBox2 - N3m3515 - 2012-10-10

most people who use xbmc on the rpi have a mpeg2 license.

FYI: Just send a Pull Request which adds the support for storing the last played positions of the recordings, i.e. if you stop a recording during playback you can later resume the playback from this position.

Sounds nice. Testing it right now and seems to work.

How can the plugin be compiled on OS X? Did anybody manage to get it built? Would be lovely to test the latest Frodo nightlies with that wonderful addon. I'm using it for a while on Eden... works like a charm!


RE: [WIP] PVR Client Addon for XBMC for EPG and full control of Dreambox and DBox2 - jdembski - 2012-10-11

I don't have OSX, but before merging this peol confirmed that it is working with OSX - so it should work.

how was your test with openelec and your plugin? i am having problems building the plugin on my raspberry pi. previously i was using raspbmc rc4 to build it without problems but i thought with all the performance updates it would be nice to built it on rc5. but now i get an error refering ffmpeg on ./configure. could that be a problem with the new merges or is it because of the new rc5?


RE: [WIP] PVR Client Addon for XBMC for EPG and full control of Dreambox and DBox2 - jdembski - 2012-10-11

I couldn't build OpenELEC because of a problem with the Texturepacker - I didn't looked further into it as I hoped that sraue would have updated the xbmc-frodo & xbmc-pvr-addons package by now. I will test it this weekend, hopefully a fresh development build with the new package version will be available then.

Regarding ffmpeg: I know that Lars merged a change that enabled the use of an external ffmpeg library - did you check the configure-options? (./configure --help).
