bossanova808 Wrote:Question - my server is windows (for work reasons I can't avoid) - is it possible to run TVHeadEnd in a virtual machine succesfully? Has anyone actually done this with success? My initial experiments with VirtualBox and my Sony PlayTV plugged into the Windows host have not been succesful - I can get the Ubuntu VM to see the dvb adaptors and TvHeadEnd seems to start scanning but doesn't find any services. If I use the tuner direct in Windows (MCE) it works perfectly...

• I had a TV aerial installed at my house (I haven't used live TV for so long I didn't realise my old house didn't have a working TV port!!)
• I installed Ubuntu 11.10 onto VMWare Player
• Passed my USB TV tuner in (a Sony Play TV using Elgato Eye TV Diversity drivers, give two HD tuners in a very neat, one aerial port cheap as chips box!)
• I followed the 3 line instructions at the beginning of this thread
• Downloaded the .deb for tvheadend from pulse and manually installed that
• Re-built the dvb drivers because there are dvb bugs in kernel 3 with my TV device
• Rebooted the VM in bridge mode so it had an easy to find IP address on my network
• Set up TVHeadEnd - this was almost instant.
• Added a user
• Downloaded and installed the margo8 win-pvr build of pre-eden
• Enabled and configured the theheadend client add on
• Restarted XBMC

let me just say WOW - I had no idea the PVR functionality was so slick and awesome already.

Ok - yes, you can run tvheadend in a virtual machine. I was not able to get it to work with VirtualBox, so I tried VMWare Player (both are free).

In brief:

• I had a TV aerial installed at my house (I haven't used live TV for so long I didn't realise my old house didn't have a working TV port!!)
• I installed Ubuntu 11.10 onto VMWare Player
• Passed my USB TV tuner in (a Sony Play TV using Elgato Eye TV Diversity drivers, give two HD tuners in a very neat, one aerial port cheap as chips box!)
• I followed the 3 line instructions at the beginning of this thread
• Downloaded the .deb for tvheadend from pulse and manually installed that
• Re-built the dvb drivers because there are dvb bugs in kernel 3 with my TV device
• Rebooted the VM in bridge mode so it had an easy to find IP address on my network
• Set up TVHeadEnd - this was almost instant.
• Added a user
• Downloaded and installed the margo8 win-pvr build of pre-eden
• Enabled and configured the theheadend client add on
• Restarted XBMC
  

...and BOOM, live TV, all good, all HD, streaming over wireless to my laptop no less.

I am a little bit bewildered at how well this is working, I honestly wasn't sure at all I could get it working via a VM, that the PVR side of XBMC would be any good (how could I doubt it?? sorry!).

I will do a full blog post about it all later, and I have let to get my non-test clients going (currently running openelec Dharma) - but it's off to a truly amazing start.

You people are amazing, seriously - this is so slick. It's going to blow my family and friends away (most of whom are already xbmc converts).

you'll probably have to google to find out your transmitters multiplex frequencies to enter manually.

moontan77 Wrote:might have to give this a try myself as i'd like to have windows but at the same time nothing beats tvheadend. Do you need two network cards? And can tvheadend save recordings on one of the windows drives?

and do you know if pci-e is supported by virtual machines? have some usb tuners but would be handy if pci-e worked aswell.

btw how do you rebuild the drivers for the playtv tuner as i have the same one

cheers
