can a dreambox be a backend - hansdampf - 2011-03-12 i know, there are scripts to watch live tv via dreambox. but the are not integrated in the nice and shiny pvr frontend. currently i use mediaportal as a backend for tv. its running on a homesever 2003. unfortunately the hardware of the server is struggling when more then one user is streaming live tv. i have a dreambox with dual tuner for dvbs2. it would be nice if it would be possible to use that as a pvr backend. i see that the dreambox has already the capability to present the epg, live tv etc. in a web browser. so maybe it is possible. what do u think? if no one is willing to do this, do u think it is achievable for a newbee to create such an addon? i can code php. and i did once a python script for personal use. i know, thats lame. in wich languish are the pvr addons coded? they don't seem to be python, like other addons. sorry for bad english skills. - opdenkamp - 2011-03-12 they're written in c++. and I don't recommend starting to write a new addon at this time because the pvr addon interface will be redone soon. - hansdampf - 2011-03-12 thanks for the quick answer. what do others think about dreambox as pvr backend? are there dreambox users amongst us? would there be a demand for such an pvr addon? - mkortstiege - 2011-03-12 There's definitely interest in dreambox pvr backend. Especially since I'd love to remove the TuxBox code from XBMC - h.udo - 2011-03-14 Well, I own 3 dreamboxs. I vote for "There's definitely interest"... x3 h.udo - kim1406 - 2011-03-14 I would love to see this also as I have a dreambox. - loggio - 2011-03-14 I'd just love xbmc to have it's own backend. Would solve everyones issues lol. - linuxmad - 2011-03-14 Count me in !!! I own 3 Dreamboxes 500s. I have been using tuxbox and it is "almost" perfect. I miss EPG and all the other "blings" that a PVR can produce. So yes... PVR backend for Dreambox is definitely a must have... - oleroc - 2011-03-22 I second this Also. I have 1 DM800 and 2 DM500HD, and would really like to be able to use xbmc for TV! - stadtkind - 2011-06-15 is someone working on this? a dreambox addon? - opdenkamp - 2011-06-16 yes, someone is/was working on a DM500 add-on a couple of weeks ago. not sure what the status is atm. - stadtkind - 2011-06-16 ok. then i hope this project isnt dead already maybe this someone can tell us what the status is atm. - jsimo01 - 2011-06-20 Would definitely be very interested if this ever came to fruition. Would even be willing to put some cash towards purchasing one of the dev's a box, as I'm sure others would to get some momentum behind this idea! - xayide - 2011-07-19 Sign me up to... - sb206 - 2011-07-19 i am too |
