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.

i have having trouble to compile ffmpeg, i dont now mutch about it, si i just ask:
Code:

Unknown option "--enable-swscale".
See ./configure --help for available options.

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.

Start it with -C and the blank user gets created. Now you can log in and create new user.

in ubuntu repos is 1.6.0... version
we need 1.7.4> (i think) with modified streamdev.
But som ppls here made their ppa repos, where you should take modified .deb packages and it works out of the box.
I have made succesfully this setup.
1) in living room - htpc - boot from 2gb flash, network-connected to my roof-pc.
On this htpc - installed xbmc live with these changes:
added repo https://launchpad.net/~henningpingel/+archive/xbmc to sources.list, and updated xbmc version to 9.04~pre+pvr-api+pvrclient-vdr~hepi-intrepid7
2) roof-pc - lowcost pc with some disks (swraid), dhcp server, mail server, dvb-t cards, network/movie/music storage.
On this roof-pc - installed ubuntu server 9.04
added repo
https://launchpad.net/~mirak-mirak/+archive/ppa and installed modified version of vdr 1.7.7-0+ppa2 and streamdev 0.3.4~cvs20090525-ppa2 (you should install vdradmin-am from officialy ubuntu repos for "web-frontend").
i configured vdr, started.
In this setup, all works out-of-the-box. You must configure vdr (channels.conf) and setup xbmc.
Now i am able to watch tv in "elegant" way.
I have same setup as on my htpc on an older ibm r60e notebook - which act as a mobile tv/movie/music station for my kid
I'm waiting for nvidia ion (zotac boards or other boxes) to be available in our country. After that i'll change "big" htpc to this small thingies

I'm really excited by this and plan to try it out ASAP. I've no experience with VDR though - is it possible to have VDR located on a server and have use the stream-dev plugin to stream to quiet client (hopefully an ion based one in the not too distant future
)?Cheers,
Alex
vdr configuration - dubstar_04 - 2009-06-05 10:25
Hi guys,
I spent a few hours yesterday installing vdr and I couldn't get the backed to start .
Could someone suggest a decent tutorial or maybe post a quick how to ?
Where does vdr log to?
Many thanks,
Dubstar04
Edit: It now works, I dont know what oi have done differently, but it works!!

Exactly my setup. 2 xbmc clients (htpc 100mbit cable+ mobile notebook wifi) and one "roof-pc" with vdr and some disks for storage
