Looks good. I still can't get it to work with my Xoom using Chrome beta browser. The box shows "jwplayer" with a play icon over the video portion but when I click the video it opens up //localhost:8559. The Iphone page just says "Loading" and never goes anywhere.

Also, from the desktop, it doesn't appear to work with Chrome unless I am missing some type of plug-in? Worked in IE although once I got full screen I couldn't get it back out of full screen? I pressed ESC, nothing happened.

I am also curious if there is any future possibility of Picture in picture, or a multiview with all 4 tuners?

@jfoley: I didnt fix android yet. the flash code is there but I havent put it in for android yet.

@allen00se: not sure if I'm going to put those features in... maybe someone else can develop an interface to do that.

Also, I have a fix for vlc 2.0.1. I'll fix it tomorrow along with the android fix

I just found this and thank you for your work on it. I'm having some issues though. I have an HDHomeRun Dual hooked to a OTA antenna. When I pull EPG data it does not seem to map correctly.I have tried pulling from MS and schedules direct. I think the issue is with over the air channels having multiple broadcasts (5.1, 5.2, 17.1, 17.2 and so on). So I guess the problems are:

1. EPG only shows 'main' channels. 4,5,11... and not 4.1, 4.2, 4.3
2. EPG is not showing any data. everything says 'no program data'
3. some channels are not correct. channel 4 (pbs) shows up in the epg but when you choose it nothing happens. channel 7 (nbc) shows up but when you choose it, it plays channel 17 (nbc).

Any suggestion where I start or what info I can provide you to help fix this? Also, what PVR build do you suggest? right now I'm running vanilla eden and I would like to use the PVR addon

Thanks
Havoc

OK I fixed the sub channels by modifying the channelmap file, see below:


41,WUNCDT,3,539000000
42,WUNCDT2,4,539000000
43,WUNCDT3,5,539000000
51,WRALDT,3,677000000
52,WRALDT2,4,677000000
111,WTVDDT,1,201000000
112,WTVDDT2,2,201000000
113,WTVDDT3,3,201000000
171,WNCNDT,3,491000000
172,WNCNDT2,4,491000000
221,WLFLDT,3,551000000
222,WLFLDT,4,551000000
281,WRDCDT,3,557000000
282,WRDCDT,4,557000000
301,WRAYDT,3,641000000
302,WRAYDT2,4,641000000
303,WRAYDT3,5,641000000
304,WRAYDT4,6,641000000
401,WUVCDT,1,617000000
402,WUVCDT2,2,617000000
471,WRPXDT,3,479000000
472,WRPXDT,4,479000000
473,WRPXDT,5,479000000
501,WRAZDT,3,683000000
502,WRAZDT2,4,683000000
503,WRAZDT3,5,683000000

I tried putting the dots in but it did not like that. The only thing I can't get to work now is the EPG... It is still reporting 'no program info'. Does the second column in the channelmap file have to match one of the "display-name" in the xmltv.xml file?

It actually matches up by channel number (so the first column)
I'm guessing since you removed the dots, it's causing an issue of not matching up?
I can fix the dot issue.
If you can, can you see if the display-name matches up with the channel number?
Or just send me your zip code and which epg data you downloaded in a pm..

For those of you that are using ATV2 (maybe it was just me that didn't know), but i stored a lot of pictures on my ATV2 (for a screensaver). I noticed i could only stream live tv at a 576p low bitstream (then slowly progessed to 420p low bitstream). When i deleted all the pictures, I could stream live tv at 720p high bitstream without lag.

I am confused on the PVR instructions. The instructions don't sync up with what I have.

Do you have an XBMC-PVR build installed? If not, that's why. I, too, hadn't realized there was development of a PVR version. I need to keep more up to date with XBMC's fast progress. Heres a link to the PVR forum --> XBMC PVR Forum

I compiled a build of Windows XBMC-PVR and installed the plugin by mcheng89, and it worked great. Though, don't expect recording yet, it's still being worked on.

I linked below a Windows XBMC-PVR build I compiled a week ago. Though if you have an extensive library all finely configured, you may want to try this on another PC so not to mess up your current configuration. Also, keep in mind its under development, and by no means highly stable. It worked fine for me, but it did crash once. After installtion, be sure to go into System > LiveTV > General > and ensure "enable" is ticked.

Link to Windows XBMC-PVR Build.

Hm. seems to lag after a while and then I have to lower the resolution. Is anyone else having an issue on ATV2? Does remoteCeton store information on ATV2 to cause it to lag (seems to me that by cleaning up space on the ATV2, it runs without lag). Thanks for any input.
