The installation instructions on the first page does no longer work.

curl -Ls --output /tmp/install-xbmc-pvr.sh http://packages.pulse-eight.net/ubuntu/install-xbmc-pvr.sh

fails since http://packages.pulse-eight.net/ubuntu/install-xbmc-pvr.sh does not exists. Is there any updated information on pre-build binaries? If not, can anyone point to a build instruction that is up-to-date?

You could do:

Code:
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lars-opdenkamp/pvr-depends
sudo apt-get update

Next you can manually download xbmc and xbmc-bin
HERE

Pick the right distro and 32 or 64 bits packages.

And finally you can install the packages with gdebi, xbmc-bin first. This will resolve dependencies.


Nevertheless, if you prefer to compile xbmc yourself, don't hesitate to ask for instructions.

Bas.


UPDATE:

It seemes to be fixed. Have a look at THIS

Hi folks,

I have a IPTV available in my house and have also managed to get it work via xbmc just doing .strm files and accessing those. Now I would like to go further and use tvheadend to provide the channels to xbmc and access straight from the menu TV tab. I tried to follow the first post. Installing the tvheadend went ok. I didn't install the PVR version of the xbmc as I thought that is not mandatory.

The problem that I met is that I cannot find following configure options:

After you configured the backend, start up XBMC and go to System -> Addons -> Installed -> PVR clients -> Tvheadend HTSP Client. Choose "configure" and fill in the requested information. Then choose "enable" to enable the PVR client. The only thing you should have to change is the server address. Fill in your server ip or host name there.

Go back to System and choose TV -> General -> Activate.


There is no PVR clients option at all in installed addons menu.

Is it so that it is not possible with the Pre-Eden version and if it is
what is the latest xbmc version to use to get it work.

Br, Zemy

You need to instal PVR version of XBMC if you want to use PVR clients and Live TV Menu in Main screen.

Thanks for the advise.

Is there any scanning feature available in the tvheaden for IPTV?
My IPTV provider channels are available like this;
Channel1: udp://239.16.116.1:5555
Channel2: udp://239.16.116.2:5555
etc. up to udp://239.16.116.254

Would be easier to set up if there is a scanner...maybe there is
but I couldn't find it.

Br, Zemy

No, there is no scanner at all for IPTV. For now you will have to make it by hand. You should also look around the Internet if someone created an VLC playlist parser which outputs tvheadend IPTV config files.

Has there been any recent binary releases of xbmc-pvr?

Update to 20111106 produces blank (black) screen on boot - beschmid - 2011-10-17

Not sure what has happened. I updated normally (using instructions provided on page 1 of thread) and when I restarted I get the XBMC boot screen with the "5 dots that light up" below, and right after that... nothing. Just a blank screen. Anyone having this issue?

Had the same problem. uxlaunch was installed alongside the updated xbmc-pvr. I am using XBMC-live. uxlaunch failed to start somehow (didn't dig into it too deep). The log file located in /var/log/uxlaunch grew very rapidly to about 1GB within 5 minutes with the same line repeating that it was killed. I fixed it uninstalling uxlaunch and installing the old version of xbmc-pvr again.

Instructions:
1. remove uxlaunch
sudo apt-get purge uxlaunch

2. download needed xbmc-pvr .deb's
xbmc-bin:
wget http://packages.pulse-eight.net/ubuntu/pool/stable/dists/lucid/xbmc-bin_11.0-pvr+p8~git20110812.5c6848a-0ubuntu1~stable46~lucid_i386.deb
or if you use 64 bit:
wget http://packages.pulse-eight.net/ubuntu/pool/stable/dists/lucid/xbmc-bin_11.0-pvr+p8~git20110812.5c6848a-0ubuntu1~stable46~lucid_amd64.deb

xbmc:
wget http://packages.pulse-eight.net/ubuntu/pool/stable/dists/lucid/xbmc_11.0-pvr+p8~git20110812.5c6848a-0ubuntu1~stable46~lucid_all.deb

xbmc-live:
wget http://packages.pulse-eight.net/ubuntu/pool/stable/dists/lucid/xbmc-live_11.0-pvr+p8~git20110812.5c6848a-0ubuntu1~stable46~lucid_all.deb

3. install old xbmc-pvr
xbmc-bin:
sudo dpkg -i xbmc-bin_11.0-pvr+p8~git20110812.5c6848a-0ubuntu1~stable46~lucid_i386.deb
or if you are using 64 bit
sudo dpkg -i xbmc-bin_11.0-pvr+p8~git20110812.5c6848a-0ubuntu1~stable46~lucid_amd64.deb

xbmc:
sudo dpkg -i xbmc_11.0-pvr+p8~git20110812.5c6848a-0ubuntu1~stable46~lucid_all.deb

xbmc-live:
sudo dpkg -i xbmc-live_11.0-pvr+p8~git20110812.5c6848a-0ubuntu1~stable46~lucid_all.deb

Now wait for dushmaniac or the xbmc dev's to fix this...
