hi,
there are several requests to support the most versatile dvb-s software -Klaus Schmidingers VDR- within xbmc. OK, live tv can be done with a playlist and recordings can be streamed over smb (whitout imdb information and a short blackout between the .vdr files to be streamed...). but vdr offers a lot more. the most straight forward idea is to code a python frontend using the built in svdrp protocol . may be this is too complex.
may be a new approach could be to use the vdr's vdradmin daemon. this provides a web frontend to many vdr features and handles epg information, recordings and timers very well. Also a streaming icon for channels and recordings can be clicked (sends a m3u playlist to the client).
So a python script which calls the vdradmin urls and rebuilds vdradmins browser output to xbmc would be necessary. i think this is what many other scripts are doing with other websites providing streaming videos. so the general way to go is known ...
please coders, give it a try.
