@dushmaniac
hi dushmaniac, as you know i would like to use vdr backend and xbmc as frontend. I used pvrtesting2 before dharma. when dharma released i switch to dharma. I tryed to use streamdev because it should support dts audio (many HD channels have it), but i had success with vnsi plugin and now with dharma and vdr 1.7.16 this solution is quite stable but don't support dts audio.
do you know if is planned dts support in vnsi ?
do you know if dharma +streamdev is stable as dharma + vnsi ?
how can i build and use correctlly streamdev with vdr 1.7.16 and xbmc ?
many, many thanks for responses

ok, could you recommend the best way, for you, to see TV (included HD channels with DTS audio) using XBMC as frontend ?
i started to try also TVHeadend, i needed to add channels group manually for some channels and i saw also that baud max value is 45000000 but for some channels value is more than 50000000.
After i launch channel mapping and now i still waiting for end... at now XBMC say me that can't use device, probably is busy from mapping.
Thanks
Armando B.

@hman:
post questions about tvheadend the tvheadend topic, not the vdr one. and I'm not using sat myself so I can't help you myself.

If I want to run VDR on a headless server, do I need to install xine-lib or something similar?
I've just compiled it myself but I'm getting errors like:
Mar 31 14:07:41 dvr vdr: [1911] device 1 has no MPEG decoder
Mar 31 13:58:11 dvr vdr: [1148] switching to channel 1
Mar 31 13:58:15 dvr vdr: [1148] info: Channel not available!

Has anybody seen the error "video data stream broken" when trying to record anything? (unrelated to XBMC)
VDR is tuning correctly because I've verified the PAT table with dvbsnoop, but whenever I start to record after 10 seconds or so I get the above error and a 0-byte .TS file followed by an emergency exit from VDR.

I haven't seen it but have a look over at vdr-portal.de (it's in German) or ask on the IRC channel, many of them speak english.

Is xbmc-vdr ready for set top boxes? I would really like to see this running on arm and mips iptv set top boxes. I have some dev boards I can lend out if anyone wants to do the port.

I don't actually know where to post XBMC-VDR integration issues, like timers behavior etc.
I'll try to place my issue here. I am experimenting with XBMC-PVR PRE 11.0 GIT: 20111101-053e479 integrated with VDR 1.17.22 through Pipelka's XVDR addon (0.9.5). All these are running under Slackware Linux 13.37_x64 at PC equipped with Hauppauge Nexus-s DVB-S card (Philips SAA7146).
I am experience some sort of discomfort, when I set a timer from EPG. The recording is started as scheduled. However the current channel playback stops and picture stalls. I am able to switch manually to channel is being recorded (or another one belonging to same transponder). However I expect channel switch to be done automatically, before VDR initiates recording.
