Can your read?

attempting anything under pvr on android is a waste of time until general hw decoding gets worked out.

Why is that? I was under the impression that hw decoding is working on the pivos?

I just saw LIVETV on my galaxy SIII with XBMC and tvheadend, and it works NICE!!!!

HW decoding is working on Pivos and only Pivos (or boxes with the same chip) for now, because devs had access to the HW and low level stuff there. A generic HW accelleration is not yet running on Android, but IIRC ICS or JellyBean added a nice API to access HW accelleration, so if devs get such a Android device it should be just a matter of time to get it working for this Android version (no promises though - I'm no dev so I only can guess).

But if you have quad-core ARM device it might be able to even decode 1080p in software (heard that odroid-x can do, so should the Galaxy S3).

Ah, thanks for the info. But, I do have a Pivos (and an S3), so I feel like getting PVR running on Android is very relevant. Martijn and davilla don't need to be jerks with blanket statements that running on Android is a waste of time.

I know a lot of people went out and bought Pivos devices after the announcement. I'm sure quite a few of them are trying to get PVR working.

Like I said 2 posts ago, it does work on my s3, so no need to speculate (pvr, not hw accel

it should work with hw decoding on a pivos box (don't ask me for specifics, don't have one) and it will work with software decoding on the rest

Does each PVR addon need to be compiled specially for Android, or would a linux compiled addon work?

[mikrohard]

It has to be compiled for android... but a zip file can contain libraries for different platforms.

I tried to compile the xvdr-addon for xbmc on android.
compilation of the xbmc works...
Installation from zip file and configuration works fine...
but after activation of "LIVE-TV" the addon crashes...

@salora: Did you use xvdr? Where did you download the zip file?

@all:
- Is there a android-version of the xvdr-addon which can be downloaded?
- Does anyone have a guess what's my fault?

I did the following steps:
1. I cloned pipelkas xvdr addon to the directory /addons...
2. sh autogen.sh
3. ./configure --target=arm-linux-androideabi --host=arm-linux-androideabi
4. make
5. I zipped the .pvr file...

any Ideas?

Hi, I want to build pvr-addons for android but i am having some problems. Is necesary using Crystax NDK ? Can anyone show me an example of the ./configure command?

Thank for your attention and work
