Right but it's a beginning !!

So I compiled the last svn, create a .pvr file but it seems that it's not fully implemented for the moment .. no reaction when I select the file..

sorry I made an error, .pvr extension is not implemented like I said, here is the answer from the developper alwinus:

Oh, the virtual extension is misunderstood. It is used internally for
streams which are readed over a PVR client, due to that XBMC don't know
what type of stream the client send, this is why all entries have a *.pvr
extension. The *.pvr can only be handled by a pvr:// Protocol.

Hi Jezz_X,

If you want to have some help in setting up a local VDR+XBMC-PVR-testing on Karmic, please let me know. There are a bunch of guys from Launchpad's "the-vdr-team" who are happy to help you to get a working VDR in a minimal amount of time - if you want, using Virtualbox.

Cheers,
hepi

I am currently in the process of trying to set this up so I can have a go at it but I am finding the path to success slow Smile if I fail completely in the next couple of days I might either just give up or try to find an easier way.

So please don't go getting your hopes up people. The real funny side is I managed to get tvheadend up and running in about 5mins but silly vdr whants everything from the command line and us non linux people struggle

Hey Jezz,

Not sure which method you are currently trying but if you are going by the guide that is in the 'how to' section of the forums then that method isn't required any more - thanks to the likes of hepi creating PPA's for us Smile

I put together some quick instructions a few days ago in another thread that explains how to use the VDR and PVR-Testing PPA's;
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=445206&postcount=9

As long as you have a TV tuner that is natively supported by Linux then you can be up and running in around 30 minutes!

I will be looking at updating my Mediastream TV mod to support Confluence this coming Sunday as I am fairly busy till then.
So at least we will have some basic functionality until a more advanced skinner gets their hands on it Wink

As I've been telling hepi in PM I'm allready half way there the part slowing me down now is getting the svn from SF I can't use the ppa of xbmc because I need to be able to commit the changes I do back to the svn again so all you guys can use them.

Once I finally manage to get the XBMC source I can test to see if I actually managed to get VDR up and working proper for it and as long as it does I should be able to start fairly soon on skinning confluence for it

P.S the reason its a problem is SF is being major slow for me 2ksec

Ah I see, that makes sense I guess, didn't think about that Smile

Good luck getting it going, all us guys running the PVR branch appreciate your efforts.
Will be nice to have something from a proper skinner rather than my half baked mod Laugh

So anyway I got it all up and running (finally) and have started along the merry way of skinning confluence for the pvr branch. But this is going to be no easy task and may very well take me a few weeks or more.

but here is the allready done teaser (subject to change without notice of course)
