Android PVR backend for Android w/ built-in DVB
#1
I've been looking all over the place for this.
I'd like to play XBMC liveTv addon with the backend running ON THE SAME MACHINE.
What am I missing?

Thanks

Found a problem with PVR? Report it on Trac, under "PVR - core components". Please attach the full debug log.

Damn! So my android TV box is useless with XBMC, in the sense of DVB?

you can still stream DVB from any other PVR backend in your home or some IP-TV addon, but AFAIK there is no addon for a Android backend yet (maybe you can get tvheadend running on Android, then you could use that addon, but how to do and if at all, no idea, check the web).

Ahh so you are assuming this box has a linux image available.

Quote from last post in that thread have a link to a Android port of tvheadend
Quote:How have you got on with this?

I too would like tvheadend to run un such box, but it seems hard. I have found a guy called Mikrohard that has made a port that he says should work with XBMC, I have however not got it to work

Here's his forks and sources:

https://github.com/innbox/tvheadend/tree...nd-android

And his service script that should be run within XBMC:

https://github.com/innbox/service.multimedia.tvheadend

The original posts comes from the xda forums:

I have no good knowleadge of linux/android/cross-compiling but I do think some guys around this forum might find this useful.

Hi All,

I have seen a few comments to pack tvheadend or similar. I also have an android tv box. DVBPlayer works well watching channels but would love a general media manager like XBMC. If anyone has any ideas how to get a backend working without having to use another device like raspberry pi etc would be much appreciated!

As far as I can tell there is currently no information about someone working on a native Android port of Tvheadend

Well, at least not anyone at upstream Tvheadend project is actively showing any public work for mainline support
