@martdj
if you want stability, go for Dharma-pvr. it has exactly the same features as the normal dharma branch and has pvr added.
people are always changing things in master, so it might be unstable.

no idea which version has lcd options, or if you have to do something in the settings. don't have an lcd so I never looked at it.

there are a couple of crashes related to buggy code in the epg. I'm refactoring that part now and it should be more stable after that.

for the coloured epg, you have to go to livetv, then to the epg entry (down twice), then press enter/ok until it shows up. you can make this the default one in the pvr settings. set it to "timeline" there.


tvheadend forgotten password - haroldapparel - 2010-12-07

well, not quite the truth, i just upgraded to the lasted xbmc and part of the package is tvheadend .... WICKED.

the password i used during installation (at least the one i though i typed it) doesn't work.. so the question is, how do i get in and change to something i can remember?

sorry dudes, im a nubee, not very good on the CLI.

any help would be awesome.. keen to get this working!

1-) Stop tvheadend.

sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend stop

2-) Restart tvheadend with -C argument.

tvheadend -C

3-) Enter WebUI without any username and password. After that change password.

4-) Restart computer. Smile

@Dushmaniac

I have noticed yesterday that the EAC3 audio codec is now supported in the build of your PPA.

I wonder if this improvement was caused by this changeset http://trac.xbmc.org/changeset/35346 or because you have added some extra patch to the code.


- opdenkamp - 2010-12-09

it's from https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc/commit/76f03ce3e9104d0de8f5cae5584c7ff05922eca7

the one you're pointing at is for the "non-pvr way" to view tv (so via sources)

Ok, thanks to you and Gujs for this improvement.


- opdenkamp - 2010-12-09

thank Gujs, I only applied the patch Smile

Still on the fence of whether to eventually move to TVHeadend or not.

A few questions.

Does it support multiple tuners? (Recording one channel whilst watching another)
Does it support different types of tuners at the same time? (ie DVB-T + DVB-S2) and being able to watch channels off either tuner?

Reason being I think there's some channels in the UK that are FTA on DVB-T but not DVB-S. So my plan is to have 2xDVB-T tuners and 2xDVB-S2 tuners.


- opdenkamp - 2010-12-09

yes & yes
(never tested it, but afaik it supports any tuner that has full linux driver support)


- RoboSK - 2010-12-09

tested and used

channel 1) DVB-S/S2
channel 2) Analogue TV - Hauppauge PVR-500
channel 3) DVB-T


- ant_thomas - 2010-12-10

Fantastic.

Also, what's the easiest way to order channels? It's a pain in the arse to do it within XBMC. Is it just best to edit the .db file?


- opdenkamp - 2010-12-10

settings -> tv -> channel manager

That's what I mean when I say within XBMC. It's quite a lot of hassle.


- opdenkamp - 2010-12-10

Well, for now it's the only way (unless you want to edit the db)

Hello! I,m testing dushmaniacs xbmc-pvr with tvheadend 2.12 and it seems to work ok, except my log keeps filling with debug messages. I tried this with master branch and dharma branch

my log is full of these.
Code:

Is there way to disable tvheadend logging?

Thanks.
