I've logged this issue at the XVR github page, but it looks like pipelka might be taking some rest in the past few weeks, so I'm posting here in the hope that someone can suggest some ideas in the mean time.

I have VDR with the pvrinput plugin and use it with a Hauppauge HD-PVR and cable box.
It tunes fine with streamdev player on my Android phone and works ok with VDR-SXFE, but when I try to play using XBMC/XVDR the video never starts, all I see is the buffering bar at the top of the screen, and stay sat on the LiveTV EPG window. (the HD-PVR does start to record, since the it lights up on the top)

I have re-compiled XVDR with DEBUG=1 and here is the log from VDR after a few attempts to start a channel in XBMC; http://pastebin.com/ztPPpHcZ
You can see at the end, when I stop playing a channel through XBMC, that shortly after xine tunes a channel itself (the last one I watched) and seems to detect a video stream ok..

Here is a debug log from XBMC while trying to start a channel; http://pastebin.com/20k4uyeG

And lastly is a VDR log from successfully starting a channel via streamdev and my android phone - just incase there is anything useful; http://pastebin.com/n5h1MgBj

I hope these prove useful as I would love to get this working!
Let me know if there is anything else I can test..

Ps. The frontend 1/0 tuning issues can be ignored - one of my sat tuners doesn't currently have it's feed connected.

Also of note, that Satellite channels are working fine through XBMC/XVDR - it's just the ones that use the plugin that aren't working..

I guess nobody uses a HD-PVR then :p

Pipelka seems to be MIA on Github for the last few weeks, so if anybody can suggest anything in the mean time I'd be greatful.

I use two, so do a lot of people, but I think most of us are using MePo/FTR for our server/PVR client, which works quite well.

I know it's Windows only, if that's a problem you might want to take a look at MythTV/CMyth, which is coming along nicely.

I second the Myth route with an HDPVR.. Mythfrontend is actually quite nice in and of itself. Then you have the options within XBMC for PVR / Mythbox or the cmyth interface.

Well, I'm still hitting a brick wall getting the PVRInput working with XVDR so I may check out Myth again.

Are there any Openelec / Pulse builds that already include the CMyth plugin or am I going to have to compile XBMC myself to get that?

Will give Myth a shot tonight if I get time

OK I have myth working and the hd-pvr is working fine.

Channel change/start is really slow via xbmc though (11 secs to start a channel) it takes about 3 sec on the server using myth front end.
Is this a feature of cmyth or something I can tweak somewhere?
