Hi,
thanks for the info. Once ready, announcement will be here ?
Regards,

Rainer

P.S. Nice addon, works pretty good on the raspberry with raspbmc !

RE: XBMC meets VDR UI - FernetMenta - 2013-03-15

I have implemented GLES in vnsi4.

RE: XBMC meets VDR UI - deedledeedle - 2014-11-24

hi,
apologies for dredging up an old thread but i'm trying to setup vdr,im in the osd, i've navigated to the satellite i want to scan but i can't for the life of me figure out how to select on of the coloured buttons.

i copied the following in to wordpad and then saved that in the keymaps folder

<Addon>
<keyboard>
<r>Red</r>
<b>Blue</b>
<g>Green</g>
<y>Yellow</y>
</keyboard>
</Addon>

but what combinations of keys do i actually need to use?
apologies if this a dumb question but i'm pulling my hair out and my wife wants here live tv back after i managed to f#$k it up

cheers in advance

Please be more precise in what you have done:

Quote:i copied the following in to wordpad and then saved that in the keymaps folder

saved it under what name, etc?

Quote:but what combinations of keys do i actually need to use?

see vdr documentation

i copied it from the code you wrote on page 2,pasted it into wordpad and saved it as keyboard.xml in /userdata/keymaps folder

<r>Red</r> if i want to select the red option does this mean i simply press R or /R or some other combination?

i've been reading all night and maybe i can't see the wood for the trees-in case you hadn't guessed i'm a computer novice!

cheers

RE: XBMC meets VDR UI - deedledeedle - 2014-11-24

ok,

i got that figured, i had to edit the whole keymap file which i found here
/usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/


now i need to figure out why it didn't find any channels when it scanned.....

RE: XBMC meets VDR UI - Marx1 - 2014-11-24

It's not point of this thread. Before scanning you need to configure vdr properly.

RE: XBMC meets VDR UI - deedledeedle - 2014-11-24

that's what i'm trying to do

imagine a ship without a rudder,

thats me at the moment! Smile

any chance you can point me in the direction of the rudder?

thanks in advance

RE: XBMC meets VDR UI - FernetMenta - 2014-11-24

What have you done so far? I would use w_scan to create initial channels.conf, then whitelist desired providers in vnsi client specific setup. vdr will continuously scan for new and changed channels by itself.

RE: XBMC meets VDR UI - deedledeedle - 2014-11-24

i'm using openelec
i've enabled vdr vnsi in pvr clients
iv'e enabled vdr in services
iv'e enabled live tv
live tv starts and offers me a heap of german and english channels-i'm in nz
i navigate to live tv/settings/client specific settings-osd shows,scroll down to channel scan,select optus d1 160E,hit R,scan happens,no channels found
i connected via putty to openelec box and here my searches for the correct command ran out
what exactly do you w-scan for when in nz?

thanks for your time
martin

RE: XBMC meets VDR UI - FernetMenta - 2014-11-24

You should have given this info with the first post. So you are talking about this outdated wirbelscan plugin that OE package. wirbelscan is a vdr plugin which is not maintained anymore.
I would use w_scan, a command line tool, which should also be available for OE via addon manager.

RE: XBMC meets VDR UI - deedledeedle - 2014-11-25

hi FM

thanks for your patience i appreciate it

i've been trying top resolve this since coming home from work,i'm really trying to solve it without asking any more questions but the rudders fallen off again

i stop vdr in services
restart openelec
open putty from a windows machine

delete the original channels.conf

run the following

w_scan -fs -s S160E0 >> \\openelec\Userdata\addon_data\service.multimedia.vdr-addon\config\channels.conf

allsorts of positive looking magic stuff happens for a couple of minutes

no channels.conf is created!

iv'e tried creating it in a couple of other places so i can drag and drop but still no file created

restart vdr

channels.conf file pops up

same default european channels are there with nothing new

i'm sure there is something simple i must be missing but uncle google is hiding the answer from me(or more likely i'm searching the wrong stuff)

cheers
martin

RE: XBMC meets VDR UI - FernetMenta - 2014-11-25

I pinged a Open Elec dev if he could chime in here. I don't use OE myself and don't know much about it.

Quote:w_scan -fs -s S160E0 >> \\openelec\Userdata\addon_data\service.multimedia.vdr-addon\config\channels.conf

backslashes look weird on a Linux system
">>" is for appending to an existing file. Why don't you try to create a new channels.conf somewhere else and copy it over later?

huh there is "newer" wirbelscan? btw vnsi + wirbelscan works better for me on S39E0 than w_scan. w_scan fails to find lot of channels here Wink

here is how to use w_scan in openelec:

1. install w_scan from OE unofficial repo (http://unofficial.addon.pro). must reboot after installation if not on OE5beta
2. log in to OE via ssh
3. systemctl stop service.multimedia.vdr-addon
4. w_scan -fs -s S160E0 > /storage/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/service.multimedia.vdr-addon/config/channels.conf (use /storage/.kodi/ if you are using OE5 beta)
5. wait. wait..
6. systemctl start service.multimedia.vdr-addon
7. in xbmc, go settings -> live tv -> general -> reset pvr database. this will fail miserably on OE5 beta due to (known) kodi bug - you may have to re-enable livetv and re-enable vnsi pvr client again.

thats it. good luck Wink
