hey megacrypto, how about a few screens from lets say main menu (home screen) to watching tv? I'd like to take a look at it ( I know there are a few screens in the first post) before I take the plunge with XBMC and VDR to replace mediaportal.

did you uninstall libav* before compiling? seems it takes the wrong library
Code:
aptitude search libavformat

i will try to, since my xbmc is running on a dedicated machine that does not have a desktop installed on it (i use the ubuntu mini install to minimize the boot time since it will only work as a htpc) .. haven't got vnc working on it yet

Code:
vdr@ubun:~/ffmpeg$ aptitude search libavformat
p   libavformat-dev                                                            - development files for libavformat
p   libavformat-unstripped-52                                                  - ffmpeg file format library
p   libavformat52                                                              - ffmpeg file format library

Thanks

i got everything working, but my solution was a bit messy (since the only way to use the remote was to install another instance of vdr - a pre-compiled package - and then use this one to actually run vdr), but i actually could not get vdr 1.7.2 to compile (always gave an error that it required Linux DVB driver API version 5.0! .. so i used vdr 1.6.0 which the GetRecordingEvent.patch ran with no errors on it

anyone faced the same issue with this API 5 matter? i did install v4l-dvb as per this guide here and point to in the Make.config file DVBDIR = /home/mega/src/v4l-dvb/linux

i have a question about this xbmc patch ... did anyone try it with mythtv ? in the settings one can select between either vdr or mythtv... im wondering how it works with mythtv ?!

- megacrypto - 2009-02-17 01:49

im trying to see different ways to make the remote work, so im trying
Code:
sudo vdr -P'remote -i /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:01:06.0--event-ir'
this returns:
Code:
*** buffer overflow detected ***: vdr terminated

Yes, I tried both alwinus' patch and the unified-pvr branch (which the patch is based on afaik). No go with both - the latter one at least shows my upcoming recordings, but that seems to be it so far.

So i guess mythtv users will have to wait a while longer..

lx01, are you aware of the mythbox python script for mythtv integration? Long term I understand the plan is to integrate via the unified-pvr branch, but for now, the mythbox script offers a fair bit of functionality...
