I don't think the backend is relevant at this point. Did you make the changes to the according xml files?

thanks for your answer eltopo. i can test this with mediaportal tv server soonest at the weekend. i will report...
i have two questions:

are you satisfied with your livetv via dsplayer (stability, switching time, timeshift) or are there restrictions?

below you find the full article from dsplayer wiki. maybe it has to do with the "http streams". but as far as i know other tv backends use rtsp, maybe thats the reason?



from dsplayer wiki:

Known issues/limitations:
- DSplayer has limited network stream support (including streams from PVR TV-backends). This is not exactly its issue, but rather a DirectShow limitation - there is no universal DS source filter which can support various network media streaming formats. As a workaround, you can add the following strings into the <rules> section of your playercorefactory.xml file:
PHP Code:
<!-- DSPlayer rules: set network streams to DVDPlayer -->
<rule name="streams" protocols="daap|rtv|rtsp|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|rtsp|mms|rtp|pvr" player="DVDPlayer" />
to play network streams with XBMC's default DVDplayer.
Note: you can use DSplayer for http streams via FileSource (URL) {E436EBB6-524F-11CE-9F53-0020AF0BA770} source filter + AVsplitter as a splitter filter. If you have set-up this configuration, you can remove http|https protocols from the rule above.
- DSplayer does not support ass/ssa subtitles with complex effects (shadows, karaoke etc.), though it can display those subs with simple formatting (fonts, colors, position etc.).
just tested with mediaportal tv server. didn't work.

next weekend i will try with dvbviewer recording service. one question @eltopo or slurm or anyone else who has this working with dsplayer: does the recording service run on the same pc where xbmc is installed or does the recording service run on another pc (and tv stream comes over the network)?
For me it's the same PC.
hi,

how do I install the addon (1.8.10) on raspbmc? I always get the error: "Abhängigkeit nicht erfüllt"

Both work well.

Please try with rec.service first, it seems no one can help you with media portal.
Please can someone point me in the right direction? Installed xbmc 12.3 with dsplayer but still can't get my time shift to work,. Please help Smile

I tried installing version 1.9.11 (I think) of the pvr.dvbviewer but dependicies not met

The issue has been fixed by the XBMC team in current nightly. The PVR now loads fine on my phone.
Before installing the development snapshot of the PVR please uninstall the old/shipped one. This is necessary as the snapshot and the shipped share their version number. You run the dev. snapshot if you can see a low performance mode in the advanced section of the PVR settings.

I know channel switching with DVBViewer RS is ok, but I wonder if anything changed with regards to the TimeShift.
Is there any possibility that we can have a DVBViewer RS addon for XBMC with a good channel switching time AND Timeshift properly working?
The main reason why channel switching time with timeshift is slow is XBMC (and/or ffmpeg) is closing + opening the transport stream on every channel switch. So instead of issuing SETUP + PLAY + [additional PLAY on every channel switch] + TEARDOWN it's doing sequences of DESCRIBE + SETUP + PLAY + TEARDOWN on every RTSP channel switch. Since I doubt this will/can be changed in XBMC itself the only chance is to write a RTSP intermediate. Until this happens there won't be any significant improvement.
Who could be in charge of writing the "RTSP intermediate"?
Who sould we ask to?

has there anything changed in XBMC 13 Beta 1 since the nightlies from january related to PVR?
I have noticed that DVBviewer plugin is not working any more.

On windows x64 and as well android (galaxy tab2) I can get EPG an so on, but I cannot actually see anything (no video/audio stream from DVB S card).

Same for me.. Sometimes it works but sometimes it don't. For example when i start xbmc i get the timers notifications but after some minute it gets the notification of timer disabled (like if it loose the connection)
I'm too.
tested with today nightly and restarted and reinstalled dvbviewer recording service on my windows 2012 server.
It seems working again.
Switchingtime ist about 20 seconds (!) with timeshift. FastForward and Rewind only works with 2x speed good.

Creating a timer with ending time after midnight, will create a recording timer for the next day (24 hours later). This problem is only in xbmc, creating a timer event directly in dvbviewer recording service works perfect.

Hi Ed,

can you post the DSPlayer config you use for setting up DSPlayer for HTTP streams using file source?

Also, I tried your config a couple pages back on my setup, but i have NPVR backend. It didn't work well for me, caused XBMC to hang. Do you know if anyone has got this working successfully for NPVR backend?
