_____________________________________________________________________________________
XBMC 12.0 (Frodo) was just released. It is the first version of XBMC which has official support for PVR. The PVR client addons, the part which loads into XBMC are not part of XBMC and may be distributed as separate packages.
The vnsi plugin for VDR is distributed separately as well. The sources frozen with Fordo can be found here:

Frodo versions:
XBMC: 12.0
PVR API to XBMC: 1.6.0 (see: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=97764)
VNSI Addon: 1.6.3
VNSI protocol between addon and vdr-plugin: 3
vnsi vdr-plugin: 0.9.0
XBMC: 12.1
PVR API to XBMC: 1.6.0
VNSI Addon: 1.6.4
VNSI protocol between addon and vdr-plugin: 3
vnsi vdr-plugin: 0.9.1
This version is in opdenkamp repo, branch frodo. To be loaded by vdr with vnsiserver3.
Development continues. Regarding VNSI there are a lot of features like timeshift and OSD in the pipeline which require API/protocol changes. I will announce changes in this thread.
From a compatibility perspective the APIs and communications protocols are most important. XBMC's plugin concept will take care for compatibility of the PVR client addons. Those are meant to be distributed via repositories which can be accessed directly by XBMC. Online updates will work this way. This is not in place yet.
Be careful:
This mechanism does not prevent from loading too new addons into XBMC. Do not use upcoming development versions of the PVR addons with XBMC 12.0.
The vdr plugin:
For more transparency future versions of the plugin will be suffixed by the protocol version, i.e. vnsiserver3. I have already completely re-written the plugin but due to this big change this version is not in the frozen Frodo branch. It will be available in opdenkamp master branch soon. I will announce the Git SHA you can use to check out this version (git checkout <sha>). This will be the last version of the plugin using protocol 3 and consequently named vnsiserver3. It's the last compatible with Frodo.
