Updated, also updated direct link to the correct VDR extensions version (thanks semerchet).

Vdr-1.7.5 - decaturguy - 2009-04-12 15:40

VDR developer version 1.7.5 is out
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.5.tar.bz2

Don't try it out yet, all we need is new Extensions-Patch for this version, not out yet. I have tested vdr-1.7.4-ext68-streamdev.patch it apply cleanly after Extensions-Patch version 70.

Changelog:

Hi, i succesfully compiled XBMC with VDR patch as you described on first page. SD channels works well but im unable to watch any HD channel - i got errors:

im using:
Ubuntu 8.10
With NVIDIA drivers 180.41 and 185.19 the same results.

HD movies from MKV from disks works fine.
I suppose that is VDPAU problem? But HD movies from files works...

Any ideas?

http://www.zulu-entertainment.de/page/klick.php?d=VDR+Extensions+Patch

Edit: if you are using old Make.config from version 1.7.4
ifdef STREAMDEVEXT
DEFINES += -DUSE_STREAMDEVEXTENSION
change it to:
ifdef STREAMDEVEXT
DEFINES += -DUSE_STREAMDEVEXT

I think you should try this forum http://dvbn.happysat.org/ after you setup cccam, sc-plugin and runvdr then you can ask xbmc-vdr related questions here.

How to install vdr-sc plugin:

Code:
cd /home/vdr/src/vdr/PLUGINS/src
hg clone http://85.17.209.13:6100/sc
sudo mkdir -p /etc/vdr/plugins/sc
sudo cp sc/examples/* /etc/vdr/plugins/sc
cd ../../
make plugins
If everything compiled OK, you can finally reinstall VDR with the plugins
Quote:sudo apt-get purge vdr
sudo sudo checkinstall --fstrans=no --install=yes --pkgname=vdr --pkgversion "1.7.4-5ubuntu2-1"

make sure to read this files in vdr-sc source directory.

Freezy, thanks for this excellent guide. especially that you explain the why and how for each step is good practice. Wish all guides like this (saved me al lot of time Wink.

Would be great if you added this guide to the xbmc wiki... I think the wiki needs at least one good vdr guide.

Hey freezy,

please add this command to your tutorial, it's neccesary for compiling vdr:

sudo apt-get install libcap-dev gettext

Thanks.
