Unified PVR frontend (DVR/HTPC client GUI with EPG) and Addons API for PVR backends?

Dushmaniac, are you going to update your ppa to 10.1 ?

a new ppa build will be probably be published this week.
it's not based on 10.1, but on the current master tree.

Any chance you could put this patch in to your next build?

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=96445 - DVXA2 Acceleration with de-interlacing!

Sorry for making requests. I don't really understand how the patch files work. No problem if it doesn't fit in to the way you are currently putting your build together.

that will have to go through a pull request in mainline xbmc. once it's included, eventually it'll be merged with the pvr tree.

I'm not going to customise the build. my builds will be made from the main pvr development tree. others are free to do "flavoured builds" of course.

Does anyone know if anyone is working on how to set this up with NPVR new build for windows 7 (aka GBPVR) as a backend? Reason I'm asking I've been running GBPVR as a Backend Server and GBPVR Client for a long time. I starting using XBMC last year as a player for my GBPVF recording due to XBMC looks better playing my recordings. Also the scraper is something NPVR or GBPVR don't have built in like XBMC but can be done on GBPVR or NPVR with a lot of work and still don't look as good as XBMC.

I don't watch anything on my server since it is tucked away out of sight so I only use clients to access all recordings and it also hold all my movies, with 4TB of storage it is what it should be a full functional backend server to serve all my clients, like MediaMVP, NMT Devices and now XBMC on a ZBOX. They all have advantages and disadvantages that we live with.

nobody is working on an addon for that backend afaik

NPVR and GBPVR does use SQLLite DB so I was hoping after looking at the config file I could make changes in hoping to test this but don't know where all the files are located yet and still digging through the PVR load I just did. Any help as these file locations are and a quick guide as what not to do with the config files I would be happy to make changes and test. :-)

there is no addon for that backend, so you can't get this to work unless you start up your favourite ide and start coding :-)

i love this new branch with xbmc as tv frontend, but i miss plans to use the best tv backend software: the "recording service" of dvbviewer. is it planned to use this too?

nicx...

Yes, I'd love to see this as well !

I just wanted to say that I really like XBMC-PVR, great work on this, keep it up!

I will send you a pull request with french language strings (edit: done) and a patch to make it work with ffmpeg's recents git revisions (CODEC_TYPE_xxx variables have been renamed to AVMEDIA_TYPE_xxx and m_dllAvCodec.av_set_string function changed to m_dllAvUtil.av_set_string3).
