Will your channel switching improvements affect the dvblink backend?

Did anyone actually read what margro said? There are two types of PVR backends - those with their own demuxer (these are usually fast) and those without one. The ones that have their own demuxer are at the moment tvheadend and VDR. Margro's builds apply to those that don't, ie. all addons except tvheadend and VDR.

I really don't think you understand what I'm asking. His builds apply to the backends that don't have their own internal demuxer. I understand that. What I'm asking is since I use a Pivos Xios (since I don't know if I can use one of his builds on it), will I be stuck with slow channel switching?
My other box is a HTPC running Win 7, so obviously I know I can use one of his builds on that. Which I will then benefit from the faster channel switching. The problem is that is where the PVR backend will be also, so it affects the Pivos. Which is why I was looking for a windows solution for fast channel switching. I hope that makes sense.

There is a PR on Github that includes margro's changes, you should be able to get Linux builds from the build bot. Perhaps some member of the team could trigger a new build since the last build is probably a month old by now.

RPi builds are not done through the standard XBMC.org build process - you should be able to find information on OpenElec or Raspbmc testbulds for the Pi from the respective testbuild threads on the Raspberry Pi sub-furum.
