Hello,
Is there any possibly way to make a working solution with Dreambox DM 500HD and XBMC PVR?
Anyone got anything working? I tried making it work with dvblogics dvblink for dreambox but found no software that XBMC supports as backend that work swith dvblink BDA drivers.

I was thinking along the lines of making a plugin for dreamboxes with Enigma2.
All things needed is available via HTTP-API. There you can get channellist, epg, signalinformation and order recordings and so on. It's using XML-files to communicate back.
How is the new PVR-api in XBMC build. Would it be possibly to put togehter an Python-script to handles all requests?
I am eager to make this work. I see no means of adding more servers in betwean when dreambox already is a full featured VDR.
Any problems with this implementation?

Apparently noone is intrested enough. Too bad — this looks easy, Enigma 2 includes extensive API.

So I would write a python-script to put betwean the PVR client API and my VDR-box?
An interface from the API to my VDR so to say?

In principle yes but I am not sure if Python is the best choice to do this and I don't know whether you would need some C/C++ glue code for interoperation between Python and the PVR API. (I am no Python man)

OK. but is the API finished so I can look at the various interfaces?

The API is kind of stable but still can be change if required.
