vdr and mythtv port fort xbmc

hey
is there any way to port vdr and mythtv to xbmc
Br,

No, look up the word "port" for why. There will be a means of interfacing these backends once the integrated PVR frontend is complete. AFAIK initial support will be for myth only, but another member has expressed interest in adding vdr support once the ground work is complete.

......xbmc+vdr.....simply have to marry....... :o

hey
Okay thanks dude for replaying I meant how to make VDR or mythtv as a part of the project instead of calling them by using scripts .
Or and i think its better building dvb code for xbmc from scratch .
And i wonder why xbmc don’t use mplayer instead of ffmpeg at least in linux .

Why reinvent the wheel? If Myth has a perfectly good recording server than working with that vs writing\supporting a new one - a huge job - just makes sense. As for ffmpeg - that's crossplatform. Is mplayer? Does mplayer use multiple CPU cores? <shrug>

Does mplayer use multiple CPU cores? yes and use ffmpeg as part of mplayer code or you can link it to new version of ffmpeg installed in your box instead .. and this will solve the codecs problems such rmvb and others (mplayer support most codecs)
Why reinvent the wheel? i meant just a dvb player only and its simple in linux
not like windowes

the reasons we don't use mplayer have been hashed out on the forums before. try the search box. the short version is that the ui wouldn't be as seamless as it is if we used mplayer instead of our home grown dvdplayer (which uses ffmpeg).

okay can you at least use win32 codecs of mplayer like xine (in linux).

no. there have been patches to add mplayer as a player, but it's not officially supported, so you'll have to hunt it down and learn how to compile xbmc yourself. another option is to throw away or decrypt your encrypted content.
