iOS PVR Build?

That'd be great!

After finishing most of the ForTheRecord (4TR) pvr addon for Windows, I'm currently converting it to run on AppleTV2. Don't get excited, a *lot* needs to be done before that starts working.

But here are some tips to get you started with building the opdenkamp/xbmc githup repo (https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc).

First you absolutely MUST install full X11 support in SL while installing Snow Leopard!

Install XCode 3, with the OS X 10.4 SDK. Install Git (doh).

Then working from within Terminal and assuming you have a directory $HOME/Xbmc:

1. Pickup a clone of the PVR repo
   
   

   Quote:$ cd $HOME/Xbmc
   $ git clone git://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc.git lars

   
   Your clone of the sources will be at the head of the master branch then. And your working directory is $HOME/Xbmc/lars (named this so I could build multiple XBMC versions side by side).
2. Follow the steps in README.osx https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/raw/master/README.osx, BUT if you want to (re-)start building with a completely clean environment, change section 3.1 of the readme to
   
   

   Quote:$ cd $HOME/Xbmc/lars
   $ make -C tools/osx/osx-depends

3. This should get you to where you start XCode to build the XBMC executable. Start XCode and follow the instructions from the README.osx again. This will build with 1 warning and at the moment I write this also 1 link error.
4. If you want to have a true self-built xbmc executable that compiles and links, clone the xbmc/xbmc repo and compile that (don't worry they won't bite each other)
   

   Quote:$ cd $HOME/Xbmc
   $ git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git xbmc

   
   Using your new working directory $HOME/xbmc, once again build the osx-depends, xcode_depends and then -finally- the xbmc executable. Working at the time of writing.
   

This should help you getting a OS X PVR build. I haven't proceeded into the iOS and AppleTV projects yet. Don't want to go there until I have a successfully working OS X version first. One step at a time, enjoying the journey .

Cheers,
Fred

I've got it compiled without issues with the changes to the project files which amet did today:

First i pulled the master from xbmc and build the ios version es described in README.ios

Then i've added a git remote to the pvr branch and just recompiled the xcode project. You need to go to lib/libTcpSocket and do a "make" there - otherwise the xcode project gives a link error.

I've build all osx/ios version that way without issues. But unfortunately the config button for the tvheadend plugin is grayed - so i'm not able to get any further here

Cool beans- have tried the build Amet made - the config button for TVH is there and accessible on his (is a little glitchy), but I can't turn on the support once it is setup. See this thread for his ipad/iphone build:

p.s. cheers for the tips Fred! We're getting closer!
