How to compile a PVR branch for iOS.

hey, been doing a lot of searching vut cant find a straight answer.

I already have an ATV2 with XBMC 11.0 installed and running great. I have now decided to get Live TV working on it so have my main XBMC install setup as a pvr box. Im looking for instructions of using the above deb and how to get it installed onto my ATV2?

Download the latest build either from: http://xbmc.picmania.org/index.php?dir=atv2%2F or the one Red_F posted in this thread.

Copy it to your ATV2 using sftp (you could download it directly from your ATV2 using the wget command)

Logon to your ATV2 using ssh (putty is a good ssh client for windows, or if you are on OSX or Linux just use the ssh command from a terminal).

If you have not changed anything you should logon as root using the default password alpine

From the command line on the atv2 issue the following commands

wget http://xbmc.picmania.org/atv2/2012-04-03...os-arm.deb
dpkg -i 2012-04-03_org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_10.0-9_iphoneos-arm.deb

The first command will download the 2012-04-03 version from the picmania site, the second will install it and replace your current XBMC installation.

I have created an "Eden" final build. But rather then posting links on several fora, I have decided to make one single post on the ForTheRecord forum.

As usual, the build is not supported

You can find the links here: http://www.4therecord.eu/forum/viewtopic...=41&t=2425.

Cheers,
Fred

Hi I tried the above. XBMC installed and I am able to start it, watch movies etc. However, when I try to start the Mediaportal PVR plugin it crashes. I have a Windows box running XBMC PVR (most recent build) using same parameters and it is working. I tried to download the OSX version, it also crashes when the mediaportal PVR plugin in enabled.

I would be glad for any suggestions for how to overcome this.

Same as above is happening to me.

Thanks Bablefish.

Could this be due to installing over another installation of xbmc Eden 11.0?

I have never tried the mediaportal pvr plugin (I am using tvheadend), but from time to time the build available from picmania has been unstable with the PVR addon. I have then tested a one release older version that has worked fine.

The builds from Red_F has always worked for me. Try to download his new build and give it a test.

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19265749/org.xbm...os-arm.deb
dpkg -i org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-0_ftr.0.0.1.133_iphoneos-arm.deb

Thats the one i tried. Will need to enable debugging but it seems a problems with the build and mediaportal plugin. When i enable livetv it crashes and when i enable the mediaportal addon it crashes. Will need to test and see if it does the same with any of the other listed pvr add ons.

I have tried both Red_F newest (it won´t start, stalls while loading) and older picmania. Unfortunately I have bought an old ATV2 with 5.0 firmware which is probably why the older builds/RED_F won´t work. Guess I´ll have to wait for a new build.

That might be my problem, what firmware should i be on?

Anything below 5.0 is good. Don´t upgrade to 5.0. The thing is you can´t downgrade onless you save som "blobs". I was unlucky as the one I bought was upgraded! And I can´t revert to an older firmware.
