Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but here goes...
Running XBMC Frodo Nightly (currently 12.0-ALPHA7). Ubuntu 12.10, x64.
Want to get PVR working.
Doing my best to follow these directions: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR...stallation
They seem outdated. My first problem comes with VNSI and XVDR install as they are not found with the suggested PPA.
I do a bit of searching and find a couple repositories that have these plugins. They are:
PPA:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-testing and PPA:thopiekar/quantal-dev
I use these and get the plugins installed.
Here's some versions:
vdr --version
vdr (1.7.28/1.7.28)
xvdr (0.9.5)
vnsiserver (0.9.0)
So I think I got that issue solved, but I put it here just in case it is related to my current problem.
Next on the list is to scan and create a .conf file.
It seems to be necessary to use sudo -s to get a root terminal as the suggested code with sudo failed. I run this:
This creates a .conf file, here is the cat:
So VDR does not support ATSC. This seems counter intuitive to me. I can not imagine that I am the only one that wants to get US OTA television in XBMC. Any ideas on how I can get around this issue?
I have tried starting vdr using: then running xbmc, with the vdr Frontend, but I get no channels listed.
Thanks. SC
EDIT: I see that on the VDR wiki ( http://linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Main_Page ) the latest developer version of VDR is 1.7.29, while my version from the PPA (PPA:yavdr/unstable-vdr) is 1.7.28. I doubt this will make a difference, but you never know.
