HW decoding is working on Pivos and only Pivos (or boxes with the same chip) for now, because devs had access to the HW and low level stuff there. A generic HW accelleration is not yet running on Android, but IIRC ICS or JellyBean added a nice API to access HW accelleration.

But if you have quad-core ARM device it might be able to even decode 1080p in software (heard that odroid-x can do, so should the Galaxy S3).

Ah, thanks for the info. But, I do have a Pivos (and an S3), so I feel like getting PVR running on Android is very relevant. Martijn and davilla don't need to be jerks with blanket statements that running on Android is a waste of time.

I know a lot of people went out and bought Pivos devices after the announcement. I'm sure quite a few of them are trying to get PVR working.

it should work with hw decoding on a pivos box (don't ask me for specifics, don't have one) and it will work with software decoding on the rest

Does each PVR addon need to be compiled specially for Android, or would a linux compiled addon work?

It has to be compiled for android... but a zip file can contain libraries for different platforms.

I tried to compile the xvdr-addon for xbmc on android.
compilation of the xbmc works...
Installation from zip file and configuration works fine...
but after activation of "LIVE-TV" the addon crashes...

@salora: Did you use xvdr? Where did you download the zip file?

@all:
- Is there a android-version of the xvdr-addon which can be downloaded?
- Does anyone have a guess what's my fault?

I did the following steps:
1. I cloned pipelkas xvdr addon to the directory /addons...
2. sh autogen.sh
3. ./configure --target=arm-linux-androideabi --host=arm-linux-androideabi
4. make
5. I zipped the .pvr file...

any Ideas?
