splinux Wrote:I tried r18173, but it is worser. I sometimes have vdr segmentation faults when switching channels, or a message channel blocked. When I try to play an iso file (dvd) I get a screen with flashing color blocks, lines, ... but no image. I saw one of your message about the r18188. Is it worth to try that one ?
What is the roadmap for the future ? When do we except to see the "TV" module inside the trunk xbmc ?
thanks,

I compiled the last svn, and also with that one, I can't play iso files.
Any idea what it could be ?
thanks,
sp

*****that problem is solved by erasing my ./xbmc directory*****

I have a new problem now !
I compiled the patched streamdev plugin from the first post with vdr-1.7.0. The compile was ok, but when I start VDR, I get :
vdr: /usr/local/lib/vdr/libvdr-streamdev-server.so.1.7.0: undefined symbol: ZN10cIndexFile3GetEiPtPxPbPi
any idea ?

thanks,

sp

Hi,

Try : make clean-plugins
make clean
make
make plugins

then reinstall vdr

By the way, Alwin is working on an updated Patch, so you might as well wait for it, since it probably will give you much less of a headache than my hack for 1.7.4...

That's great news, freezy.
Especially because unified-pvr branch isn't ready for inclusion on 9.04, AFAIK.

As I understand it, there are two ways to built the XBMC+VDR:
1.According first page of this topic (for example as on http://image006.mylivepage.ru/chunk6/974269/2287/chlist.png )
This has been done.
2. Another way - Python plugin: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=36988

My Q:
I need to build XBMC as on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5VRujituS0&feature=related
In other words, when i press the "TV" button i been waiting VDR-OSD with plugins and own skins.
I am interested how it can be done? In this case needed a second method?


- rickx - 2009-03-26 12:21

Yes, that's another method. I assume he configured lirc to call scripts which switch between xbmc and vdr - i.e. close one, then open the other, and back. I'd seen this method with mythtv, but for vdr it's the first time. And...it seems a very nice solution. Would be interesting to hear from the author...


- freezy - 2009-03-26 12:26

Note that the Python version doesn't require any "building", you put the script into the right folder and it should work. I didn't test it though, and I'm not sure how it is still maintained.

I'm trying to do this my self, since alwinus patch/unified-pvr is not going into 9.04. Would be great to have something like that working.

Any ideias as to the simplest/best method?
