- hotzenplotz5 - 2009-02-15 @megacrypto i guess wrong source ?! Code: /home/mega/src/vdr-1.7.0- it should be 1.7.2 ?! - alcoheca - 2009-02-15 megacrypto Wrote:im getting an error while trying to compile streamdev: VDR must be patched according to the instructions. BIG HINT -> vdr-1.7.2_GetRecordingEvent.patch - knatsch - 2009-02-15 I fixed my problem posted above. After installing the newest patch for xbmc, xbmc itself said that my backend was faulty. So I reinstalled vdr and streamdev. Now I can watch TV - megacrypto - 2009-02-16 why am i getting this error when i try to make vdr Code: dvbdevice.h:19:2: error: #error VDR requires Linux DVB driver API version 5.0! i did a fresh re-install of everything and following the steps as the guide update: found this on linuxtv.org (http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2008-December/018839.html) which basically says: Quote:- Added a note about 'Id' being obsolete to the description of cDevice:layAudio(). why did this error not come up 2 days ago when i first installed it? do i need to patch something? and plz, if yes, can anyone provide the command to what and where? thanks - megacrypto - 2009-02-16 well, i managed to surpass the above problems (except the remote one) and now i have vdr running one machine ... and i have xbmc patched and running on another, but xbmc gives me this msg Quote:no connection to pvr-server vdr-streamdev is not compatible! check backend settings this is if i use the port 2004 (which is VDR-to-VDR port on backend) if i use port 3000 in the TV settings in xbmc (which is the HTTP Server port on backend), and try to go to tv from main menu in xbmc, it freezes. UPDATE: my bad.... i forgot to enable the IP's in streamdevhosts Update: now i can see the channels list, but nothing is playing .. will do a log check and post here if i can find anything that looks like an error Update: after a few restarts ... it worked - greco - 2009-02-16 hey megacrypto, how about a few screens from lets say main menu (home screen) to watching tv? I'd like to take a look at it ( I know there are a few screens in the first post) before I take the plunge with XBMC and VDR to replace mediaportal. - divingmule - 2009-02-16 I'm having problems with make vdr and ffmpeg PHP Code: vdr@ubun:~/src/vdr$ make PHP Code: vdr@ubun:~/ffmpeg$ make Any help would be appreciated - freezy - 2009-02-16 did you uninstall libav* before compiling? seems it takes the wrong library Code: aptitude search libavformat - megacrypto - 2009-02-16 greco Wrote:hey megacrypto, how about a few screens from lets say main menu (home screen) to watching tv? I'd like to take a look at it ( I know there are a few screens in the first post) before I take the plunge with XBMC and VDR to replace mediaportal. i will try to, since my xbmc is running on a dedicated machine that does not have a desktop installed on it (i use the ubuntu mini install to minimize the boot time since it will only work as a htpc) .. haven't got vnc working on it yet - divingmule - 2009-02-16 Code: vdr@ubun:~/ffmpeg$ aptitude search libavformat Thanks - megacrypto - 2009-02-16 i got everything working, but my solution was a bit messy (since the only way to use the remote was to install another instance of vdr - a pre-compiled package - and then use this one to actually run vdr), but i actually could not get vdr 1.7.2 to compile (always gave an error that it required Linux DVB driver API version 5.0! .. so i used vdr 1.6.0 which the GetRecordingEvent.patch ran with no errors on it anyone faced the same issue with this API 5 matter? i did install v4l-dvb as per this guide here and point to in the Make.config file DVBDIR = /home/mega/src/v4l-dvb/linux - megacrypto - 2009-02-17 i have a question about this xbmc patch ... did anyone try it with mythtv ? in the settings one can select between either vdr or mythtv... im wondering how it works with mythtv ?! - megacrypto - 2009-02-17 im trying to see different ways to make the remote work, so im trying Code: sudo vdr -P'remote -i /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:01:06.0--event-ir' Code: *** buffer overflow detected ***: vdr terminated again a very lengthy output, but maybe someone could guide me to where this could be resolved - lx01 - 2009-02-17 megacrypto Wrote:i have a question about this xbmc patch ... did anyone try it with mythtv ? in the settings one can select between either vdr or mythtv... im wondering how it works with mythtv ?!Yes, I tried both alwinus' patch and the unified-pvr branch (which the patch is based on afaik). No go with both - the latter one at least shows my upcoming recordings, but that seems to be it so far. So i guess mythtv users will have to wait a while longer.. - ads_german - 2009-02-17 lx01, are you aware of the mythbox python script for mythtv integration? Long term I understand the plan is to integrate via the unified-pvr branch, but for now, the mythbox script offers a fair bit of functionality...
