Best Backend for TV on XBMC

I now have TV Headend configured. Have scanned channels etc, not sorted them all yet, but will get around to that.

Can someone please help me, and let me knwo where I can get the pvr build of eden beta 3 for Xubuntu?

Thanks

atm the opdenkamp/pulse-eight builds are still eden beta 2 .. take these ( http://packages.pulse-eight.net/ ) .. I hope they are getting updated soon ..

you have to take tvheadend from that package (it's included !) 'cause the tvheadend version from lonelycoder repository won't work with XBMC PVR .. don't install hts-tvheadend but tvheadend via apt-get !

if you check "about" tab in tvheadend web-frontend it should show:

HTS Tvheadend 2.12.99~pulse-4

So long

Thanks again for the info.

When I try to install from the sh file, I get the following error:

Any ideas?

Thanks

Please ignore my last post. I have stopped being such a retard and found a pulse-eight ppa repo.

Thanks

WOW! I finally have tvheadend setup and XBMC sees the channels....and fta seem to work great (inc HD)

Now for some more help pleeeaaassseee

1. I would like to get epg populated, I'm assuming my only option is radio times, but not sure how. Please could someone help.

2. I would still like to get my paytv working, but really dont have a clue about capmt connections, and camd. I have cccam setup on my vu plus (dreambox equiv) and I have a dreambox which shares the card, to check it works.

Oops. Sorry should have read the rules. Please ignore this question.

Please help if you can

Thanks

Not sure how much can be talked about, but I think TVHeadend supports the Newcamd protocol, might be worth looking down that route.

As I said, we can't exactly talk about these things on here so don't expect too much help or guidance directly!

only warning: stop the discussion about cardsharing (software). please read the sticky.

Sorry! Won't happen again!

I see the forum rules, but I don't understand. Enabling regular paid pay tv smartcards on a media center pc for yourself is not as such as cardsharing directly; it's the same underlying technique but that's it .. nowadays a media center with live tv but without enabling support for scrambled tv is more or less useless ..

If you say it's illegal in most countries .. perhaps .. but in that countries it's illegal too to use DVD players in linux which use libdvdcss or if you enable mp3 media codecs .. a lot of that media codec stuff doesn't care about patents and copyright law in linux .. btw. *lol* that whole "we scrap information" from websites is illegal, "we embed video sources" from websites is illegal too ..

So I guess we could bury this forum by that standards ..

So long

indeed, it's not the same, but it's still not legal, even if you pay for it. at least here in europe. and using dvdcss migth be illegal here too.

well, to be honest, I don't really care. this part of the forum is dedicated to PVR development, and if there's something that might not be legal, then it just doesn't belong here. use whatever forum you like to discuss those things, just don't do it here, even if it is fully legal in your country.
