Network column under Multiplexes is empty. Also, service tab is completely empty.

Did you fill in the right nit in "NIT-o Network ID:" before "Add DVB Network by location" ?

It's quite possible that I didn't. I left it at 0. Where can I find this information for my area? (Adelaide, Australia)

I'm in Melbourne, don't need to do this.

I'll bet you're on an older kernel version - there's a 7000 driver issue, check your dmesg, it results in the behaviour.

New kernel (3.2+ I think) has the solve, alternatively you an manually compile the dvb drivers yourself. Both ways work...


Use multiple grabbers - Kjetil N - 2012-01-21

Hi,

I'm using more than 1 provider and would like to use the xmltv grabber for Norway, Italy, and UK.

When I tick for each only the last is used.

Is there an easy way to do this? Allreday tried messing around with cron but did not go very well.

In the end of file /.hts/tvheadend/xmltv/config:
Code:
],
        "grab-interval": 12,
        "grab-enabled": 1,
        "current-grabber": "/usr/bin/tv_grab_no_gfeed"
}

Can I simply add entries to this file?

Thanks mate. This worked perfectly. Now to get the front end working :S

No probs. If you use Openelec PVR nightlies, it works perfectly out of the box. I spent ages arseing about with a virtual machine ubuntu to work out the above solve, only to get it working in sub 5 mins with Openelec...should have known!!

Does anyone know how to get this to compress video? I recorded a 30 minute show and it was 2.2G....


11.0: Eden Beta 2 - mr_blond18 - 2012-01-24

Hey Dushmaniac,
any chance for a quick XBMC-PVR Eden Beta 2 release? It should contain some airplay improvements I really would like to see...

Thanks in advance!


- Ruud - 2012-01-24

Hi Mr_blond18,

did you try updating?
I already received it via a sudo aptitude update and safe-upgrade.
Even before the announcement on the xbmc website.

Yes, thats normal. A hour needs approximately 3-4 GB in SD, High Definition ca. 6 GB (H.264) depending on content and compression. Why want you compress again the video? Do you need a transfer on floppy disc? Wink

No did not try that. Will do so tonight. Thanks for the headsup. Are you sure you are running the pvr branch: XBMC-PVR

On http://xbmc.opdenkamp.eu there is no mention of beta2. That's why I thought it hadn't been released yet...

Looks like that webpage is quite outdated. We're up to Build 62 now.


Watching ongoing recording suddently stops - grad - 2012-01-25

I'm on the xbmc-xvba branch and the tvheadend 2.12.99~git... and while everything else works pretty smooth, every once in a while I'm being thrown back to the menu while watching an ongoing recording of tvheadend.

The criticial log entry goes like this:

During a ~30min session this happens about 2-3 times. Very annoying. WAF approaching criticial values. Especially since xbmc then doesn't allow to resume at the point of failure.

Has anyone seen this? I *think* I'm not alone with this, and from googling I almost feel that this issue might even be cross-platform, but I couldn't nail anything. Unfortunately googling log output nowadays very of results in pastebin hits, which aren't really helpful.
