Hi freezy,

In the tutorial of your initial posting, you sync the streamdev sources to 4/4/09:

Code:
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/var/cvsroot login
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/var/cvsroot co -D 4/4/09 streamdev

Yesterday I used your tutorial and tried to patch the streamdev sources with alwinus' patch and got rejects. when I take 5th of April instead it works for me:

Code:
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/var/cvsroot login
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/var/cvsroot co -D 5/4/09 streamdev

I think I read somewhere that 5/4/09 syncs to the last revision BEFORE the beginning of April 5. Could you check this, please? Thank you!

Cheers,
hepi

Hi!

I have problems connecting to the streamdev server with XBMC.
I am running vdr 1.6.0-2 version on a server and XBMC on desktop machine for testing.

I have tried to use port 3000 (HTTP) and 2004 (VDR-VDR). The 2004 crashes the vdr completely.

I am getting this from the XBMC log:

Code:

And this is in the vdr log:

Code:
Apr  9 16:16:39 localhost vdr: [19441] Streamdev: Accepted new client (HTTP) 192.168.254.1:47307
Apr  9 16:20:33 localhost vdr: [19441] client (HTTP) 192.168.254.1:47307 has closed connection
Apr  9 16:20:33 localhost vdr: [19441] streamdev: closing streamdev connection to 192.168.254.1:47307

I have checked with svdrpsend.pl that I can connect to the server and also that the port 3000 works ok.
Also I can get vdr-sxfe to work.

Any ideas?

- splinux - 2009-04-09

Port 2004 should work, 3000 not.
Did you compiled the patched streamdev plugin with vdr 1.6 ? Is that working ?
I tried some weeks ago to compile it with vdr 1.7.0, but that did'nt work, and I thought that the patched streamdev was only useable with 1.7.4

I would like to know if FTA or DirectTV (Wink) will be an option for vdr + XBMC + vdpau + emulators + firefox + torrents = Fucking Awesome

I recompiled everything from scratch and now when vdr is running XBMC doesn't start. It is terminated with this log:

Without vdr XBMC works fine.

@freezy

Maybe you should add to this wonderful how-to " --enable-vdpau " (only nvidia divers) when configuring XBMC

Updated, also updated direct link to the correct VDR extensions version (thanks semerchet).

Vdr-1.7.5 - decaturguy - 2009-04-12

VDR developer version 1.7.5 is out
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.5.tar.bz2

Don't try it out yet, all we need is new Extensions-Patch for this version, not out yet. I have tested vdr-1.7.4-ext68-streamdev.patch it apply cleanly after Extensions-Patch version 70.

Hi, i succesfully compiled XBMC with VDR patch as you described on first page. SD channels works well but im unable to watch any HD channel - i got errors:

im using:
Ubuntu 8.10
With NVIDIA drivers 180.41 and 185.19 the same results.

HD movies from MKV from disks works fine.
I suppose that is VDPAU problem? But HD movies from files works...

Any ideas?

I think you should try this forum http://dvbn.happysat.org/ after you setup cccam, sc-plugin and runvdr then you can ask xbmc-vdr related questions here.

How to install vdr-sc plugin:

Code:
cd /home/vdr/src/vdr/PLUGINS/src
hg clone http://85.17.209.13:6100/sc
sudo mkdir -p /etc/vdr/plugins/sc
sudo cp sc/examples/* /etc/vdr/plugins/sc
cd ../../
make plugins
If everything compiled OK, you can finally reinstall VDR with the plugins
Quote:sudo apt-get purge vdr
sudo sudo checkinstall --fstrans=no --install=yes --pkgname=vdr --pkgversion "1.7.4-5ubuntu2-1"

make sure to read this files in vdr-sc source directory.

Freezy, thanks for this excellent guide. especially that you explain the why and how for each step is good practice. Wish all guides like this (saved me al lot of time Wink.

Would be great if you added this guide to the xbmc wiki... I think the wiki needs at least one good vdr guide.

Hey freezy,

please add this command to your tutorial, it's neccesary for compiling vdr:

sudo apt-get install libcap-dev gettext

Thanks.
