Linux XBMC-Addon-XVDR causes crash of XBMC-Eden-PVR

hey guys i'm running the new beta and it's slow on a dual-core 4400+ with 6 gig ram and stutters on streaming. besides the crash to 12.04 64bit desktop when going to my music folder in xbmc. oh gtx275 in it as well.

musv, you need either the sources of vdr or vdr-devel package (or whatever it is called for gentoo)

themoddingden, please open a separate thread, or explain the relationship to this topic.

That's not the problem. vdr-1.7.27 is installed. And in Gentoo almost everything is build from scratch. Means, I can access the source.

Will try it like described here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1120127 when I'm at home again.

It's not really a good idea to install something aside of the package manager.

I just noticed that the directory for addons has changed. In case you have pvr addons in /usr/local/share/xbmc/addons, delete those.

There was also a problem with the Makefile, which somehow has to be patched via the ebuild and failed in this state. So I just used the unpack part of the ebuild, which copied the downloaded files to a temporary directory. There I corrected the Makefile and built the vnsiserver.so manually. Afterwards it was only necessary to copy that file to /etc/vdr/plugins/vnsiserver. And what should I say. It works like a charm.

I don't know, if there were some bigger performance improvements in the last PVR versions (from 70 to 76), but I notice a huge difference. The channels change much faster and also the GUI seems to be more agile.

However, after the yesterday tests I'm quite happy with vnsi and I guess I'll stay for some time with that solution.

Thank you a lot for your help. I had to some things again.

xbmc-addon-xvdr only works up to pipelka git 75445e7 with xbmc-pvr-eden

And this is exactly what you get, when you checkout the eden branch of xbmc-addon-xvdr. Works fine for me with opdenkamps Eden-pvr branch.

Your crashlog states that it segfaults in XVDR.

Hi,

i have the same problems with XVDR in generic openELEC AudioEngine version so I was trying to get it to work with vnsi. But when i select Live TV it give me an error which says: "no pvr clients started"
Log: http://sprunge.us/OfXb

So i did the following:
which gave me :
so i did
which gave me this:

so i disabled Live TV in XBMC, disabled the client, deinstalled vdr-addon, deleted the folders under Userdata/addon_data, rebooted, reinstalled vdr-addon, reenabled vnsi client, rebooted, restored my channels.conf file and enabled live tv in xbmc... same problem

Any suggestions?

your openelec add-on zip for vdr seems to be incomplete, or something went wrong while compiling it. it's expecting to find that libvdr-vnsi.so.1.7.27 and can't find it, so it won't start. add-on can't connect to the backend and won't start (that's in the log). so you need to fix the vdr backend add-on.
