TV-Setup: "EPG Daten löschen und neu einlesen" (something similar like "Delete EPG-Data and reload") don't work. Nothing happens.

thanks for the report. if you don't have any custom channel settings in xbmc, reset the whole pvr database for now. that one works.

Getting better and better every day!
There is still a problem with the refreshing of the Next/Now Recording popup in the main menu: it does not refresh when a timer is added/removed. Eg. when the next scheduled recording is "Show 1" and I add a schedule for "Show 2" which starts before "Show 1", the popup still displays "Show 1" as the next recording.

i successfully installed xbmc-dharma pvr as described on the first post of this thread, i've only two problems:
- live tv is choppy : it seems like the player continuosly try to synchronize the video flow ... alternating slow and fast reproduction ...
- if i don't set "vertical sync" in video settings, in the home page i have 90-100 fps and the cpu load is constantly 100%... This didn't happen before the last upgrade of xbmc..

I'll post a log in the evening,
Thank you.

after configuring your grabber, try executing it (again, as user hts) and check the output on the console. if your grabber has some debugging option, enable it.

@NiPiN³:
try this. create a file ~/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml (if you don't already have it) and put this in it:
Code:
<pvr>
  <inputstreamdelay>500</inputstreamdelay>
</pvr>
this will delay the playback of pvr streams by 500ms. changing channels will be a bit slower, but you shouldn't get buffer underruns anymore. if you still get them, increase the value to 1000 and check again. it's not a real solution, but a work around until I fixed buffering properly there.

i still have the issue described above also after the introduction of the delay..
i paste-bin the log when i started playing the channel (33 fps with stuttering)

dushmaniac, you ROCK!
Totally fixed... (even updates in realtime when a timer is updated through the TvHeadend backend)
Now, maybe you can do something about the epg search function? It doesn't seem to work at all... (or maybe I am doing something wrong?)


- danz0l - 2011-04-16 22:23

Silly question guys but how do you use regex in tvheadend to ignore part of a title ?

Say i want WIFE SWAP but not WIFE SWAP USA in the auto recorder.

I tried wife swap ^USA and wife swap [^USA) and all combination but it insists on finding all of them LOL. I know the author isnt here but just curious what or how people would avoid the USA part ?

Loving the PVR branch so much. Sure its hot its bugs (latest TV and Movies puthon script for homepage doesnt display images etc) and it will crash and restart if i reset the PVR database but all in all it functions so well. Well done Smile

dushmaniac you have done an amazing job my friend and have my utter most admiration and praise. Thank you so much ..

Hi

Thanks Dushmaniac for update !

It seems there are still some problems with timers. Trying to add it manualy causes xbmc to crush. Nothing has been stored in tvheadend, now. On previous version xbmc crushed, too but timer has been set up in tvheadend but with incorrect channel number.

Here is log

xbmc: 2:11.0-pvr+odk22~git20110415.248d3f1-0ubuntu1~ppa+odk22~lucid

@danz0l
no idea about the regex
the python scripts have nothing to do with pvr but with changes in mainline and, from what I heard, wrong usage of python methods within those scripts.
