port 3000 is HTTPServerPort and port 2004 is what you need Smile

Thanks very much it works now.
I had a quick look at it, and it seems to be very nice work Smile
I had some freezes while switching channels, is related to some existing bugs, or do I have to check my installation ?
Also when starting live TV I get a window telling something like "updating tv data this may take some time". It stays there forever. I need to push ok and TV again. Is that normal ?

many thanks

Hi,
For "vdr: error while reading '/etc/vdr/commands.conf."
and "vdr: error while reading '/etc/vdr/reccmds.conf"
This is not a problem here. But for "vdr: error while reading '/etc/vdr/channels.conf", you must apply section 4 of Freezy howto :
4 Find channels on your network.

Like Sosi posted you need the channels configured, like in regular TV Wink:
vdr: error while reading '/etc/vdr/channels.conf'

Dont worry about the other two conf files, they are not important for this setup.

I' glad it worked out for you, I do get updating tv... too just press ok and try it again after 30sec-1min. As for freezes i don't have that problem maybe you should try another revision of xbmc try anything from 18100 to 18173 more than that you loose TV part. I personally use revision 18173, Oohh i almost forgot i did had problem with 18100 if you are using that.. my system freezes and cpu load was like 70% sometimes 100% just running xbmc it even get worst when i try to watch videos or live tv.

hi and many thanks all for all the help i fixed the vdr: error while reading '/etc/vdr/channels.conf'
that ok now
as far as i can see the problem is still
vdr: error while reading '/etc/vdr/commands.conf.'
vdr: error while reading '/etc/vdr/reccmds.conf

they are missing from the /etc/vdr and i can not find them so i can copy them to the /etc/vdr
Thanks

Can't get Streamdev to compile - henfri - 2009-03-21 12:35

Hi,

I have trouble compiling the patched streamdev.
I'm using this patch:
http://www.xbmc.org/trac/attachment/ticket/5595/streamdev-cvs180209-vdr-1.7.4_xbmc-v4.patch.gz

Here's what I do:
Code:
cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@vdr-developer.org:/var/cvsroot login
cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@vdr-developer.org:/var/cvsroot co -D 2/18/09 streamdev
wget http://www.xbmc.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/5595/streamdev-cvs180209-vdr-1.7.4_xbmc-v4.patch.gz
gunzip streamdev-cvs180209-vdr-1.7.4_xbmc-v4.patch.gz
patch -p0 < streamdev-cvs180209-vdr-1.7.4_xbmc-v4.patch
No rejects.

VDR is patched (getRecordingsEvent)
The result of make:
Code:

I should mention that I use VDR 1.6.
Any suggestions?
