Since you are interested in Launchpad hosting, there's no need to use illegal plugins for explaining the advantages of Launchpad, I think.
I though I was clear that the use of illegal (it depends where) plugins in explaining how it wasn't a disavantage in launchpad was just based on a misunderstanding of what hano wanted for is repository.
I will explain myself there and remove the offending message

I did a ubuntu package with the latest vdr patch on xbmc, it's there https://launchpad.net/~mirak-mirak/+archive/ppa
The package built fine on my computer, they should be available soon on the ppa, they are currently uploading.
There is also package for vdr-1.7.7, libxine-vdpau, vdr-xine, nvidia drivers, v4l-dvb

Sorry I just throw they package I built for my own usage as it since there are already howto and tutorials to vdr, it's plugins and xbmc around the net.
For v4l-dvb a package that i created, the explanations are on the ppa page.
I should add some links to tutorials on the ppa page.
The most important thing to know about vdr is that vdr is a backend server, and that it needs output plugins and frontends to connect to this output devices, and there is a lot of choice.
To summarise, by using only packages on my ppa you have two options:
- vdr-plugin-xine output plugin that needs a libxine compatible frontend like xine, totem-xine etcetera.
- vdr-plugin-streamdev output plugin that needs xbmc pvrclient frontend.

I have not found any working guide for running VDR.... Even the guide in this thread does not work. I have tried for years... I am always too late, something has changed, patches are gone, newer builds not supporting the patches and so on.
Right now my dream PVR looks like this:
XBMC + VDR + S2API + VDPAU + Cardreader for my subcription card (CONAX)
Looks to me that the packages needed for that are in your PPA, but how do I know wich packages to choose?
From what I guess in the 2 options you gave me, the first one uses an external frontend for VDR, and the second might look like the screenshots in the first post. Right?
- mirak63 - 2009-05-28
You need to learn all you can about vdr first, and start to toy with vdr with the stable packages in ubuntu jaunty.
Vdr is not as straight forward than xbmc unfortunely. That's it's handicap, but also what make it flexible and powerfull.

something that seems a lot easier, is to grab tvheadend (website: http://www.lonelycoder.com) by executing
Code:
svn co svn://svn.lonelycoder.com/hts/trunk/tvheadend && cd tvheadend && ./configure && makelaunch the application with (while in /tvheadend)
Code:
build.Linux/tvheadendadmin it by logging into http://127.0.0.1:9981 (or the lan ip or whatever) and set it up.
when it has (hopefully) found some channels (use DVB-Adapter -> probe), use Add source in XBMC and point it to "htsp://127.0.0.1:9982" (without the "s) and you should now be able to watch tv thru your XBMC. You can create a user by using the webui, then you login with htsp://user:[email protected]:9982 instead.

but what is default login/pass to webui? blank username/password or other "default" not working

maybe you could do a thread about that, it's interesting

For people using a a regular XBMC build (without VDR/streamdev patch), they can connect to a running VDR/streamdev-server in a similar way by adding this to XBMC as a video source:
Code:
vtp://127.0.0.1:2004slacker666, I would suggest to you to open a new thread regarding tvheadend. Otherwise things could get too chaotic in this thread.

interesting !!
I guess we can't do recordings ?

if you run the .deb package, you will be prompted for username and password, at least, that's what the developer told me when i asked him.
I could start a new thread, no problem, problem is that my signal is too weak, so I haven't been able to test it yet myself.

yeah latest .deb package works great, but latest svn version (3000) looks broken. After compile, the webui doesn't accept any user/pass, even if i start up deb version, set it up and after that start svn version.
And at the worst i couldn't recognize where the tvheadend store its configuration (home folder .hts obtain only xmltv config).
And at least, some configurations (multiplexes frequency, and other) is hardcoded in binary
I must modify src/linuxtv_muxes.h for some changes in my country...But tvheadend as is looks nice - better webui, simple compile or install (deb) than vdr.
I'm looking forward to nvidia ion boxes/boards (zotac), which makes me happy - i should build cheap "tvbox" with simple box and lcd.
I was thinking about some popcourn hour box before i tried xbmc
Xbmc rock!

you would have to stop by executing "/etc/init.d/hts stop" and then run build.Linux/tvheadend when in /tvheadend directory.

After compile, the webui doesn't accept any user/pass, even if i start up deb version, set it up and after that start svn version.Not broken, just does not work like the manual says... Start it with -C and the blank user gets created. Now you can log in and create new user.
