PVR support in XBMC for iOS?

vanhaakonnen · 2011-01-23 11:32

Good morning,

at first I want to say thanks for the great work on xbmc and the iOS port.

I am using two Nvidia ION Atom PCs with Ubuntu and XBMC as media central at the moment. Because of my VDR and VNSI/Streamdev I can watch all my TV programs with XBMC.

Actually I used the repository of the yavdr with the prebuild XBMC/PVR.

So the Apple TV 2 would be a great system to use instead of my atom pcs. All I need is XBMC with PVR support.

But how can I get VNSI or Streamdev in the current iOS release of xbmc?

It seems you need a merged source between

Hi Muuh,

I will try to build xbmc with pvr support with Xcode and iOS SDK. First time I try to build something for iOS - Keep your fingers crossed for me... :/

I didn´t get it. I can´t build the iOS version. Is there any possibility to add the streamdev or vnsi plugin without building xbmc? Maybe there is a way to copy only the files in the prebuild version?

thanks, thats what I was thinking. So pvr version of xbmc is probably no use to a lot of people (in europe anyways) since most channels are still mpeg2 and i assume the a4 cpu would struggle to process those channels.

Not really a correct assumption.

Wy would you want pvr support for the aTV2 at this moment?
Just the possibility to play a rtsp stream would be enough. I have one Asrock 330ht with XBMC and TVHeadend and I have a old plain xbox. The xbox doesn't support pvr but it will play rtsp streams. If the xbox can, why wouldn't the aTV2?
