[PVR] source and binaries location and updates
#1
Lightbulb 
Source
Location
There are two main branches on github for PVR: a development branch (opdenkamp/master) and a stable branch that's used to create the ppa builds (opdenkamp/pvr-ppa).

The Dharma-pvr branch (opdenkamp/Dharma-pvr) contains a merge of the old pvr-testing2 with the Dharma tree. No development will happen in the Dharma tree anymore

So, if you just want to use PVR and you're not developing, take the pvr-ppa tree. If you're developing, take the master tree.

How to get the source
To get a local copy of the tree, execute these commands:
Code:
git clone git://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc.git
This will download the repository.

Then get the pvr-ppa branch if you're not going to develop anything:
Code:
git checkout pvr-ppa

More information about git can be found here on the wiki.

Binaries
Ubuntu
There are binary packages available for Ubuntu Karmic, Lucid and Maverick, built from the pvr-ppa branch. They can be found in this PPA on Launchpad.

To install it, execute these command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lars-opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install xbmc

Windows
Packages available here: http://xbmc.opdenkamp.eu/

Other
If you're using another Linux distribution or if you're using OSX, you'll have to build your own binaries. Instructions are available on the wiki:
for Linux

Add-ons
If you're a VDR user and want to use the latest PVR builds, you'll need a new add-on. It's sources can be found here: https://github.com/pipelka/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver

would it be possible to offer nightly builds for windows?
#3
for license reasons I cannot provide those at this time. uncle Bill would kick my ass ;-)

if you follow the instructions, you can easily create binaries yourself. not much user action required.

new PPA packages are being uploaded now. the packages that have been uploaded yesterday evening contained a last minute bug that prevented the pvrmanager from starting up (sorry for that Smile)

the package has been thoroughly tested with tvheadend, but you currently need a patched version to get timers that are not created from epg events working. that version is provided on the PPA too.

because the tvheadend package has been renamed by upstream from "hts-tvheadend" to "tvheadend", you'll have to install the tvheadend package manually if you were using the version with the old name before.

for those that are not using ubuntu and can't use the PPA:
- the XBMC package is built from this tag: https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc/commits/pvr-ppa-test2
- the patch against tvheadend to allow instant timer creation can be found here: https://github.com/opdenkamp/tvheadend/c...026397ff60

because of a problem with the old xbmc-data package, the upgrade might not go smoothly.

if you're seeing an error when upgrading, open a terminal and execute the following commands to correct the issue:
Code:
sudo apt-get -f -y install
sudo apt-get install xbmc

And another change that you might have noticed already in my signature: please report changes on Trac now under "PVR - core components". This only applies to problems you encounter with my prebuilt XBMC packages (not the other ones on the ppa, like Tvheadend), or your own builds that are made from the pvr-ppa branch. Make sure that you always attach a full debug log to your tickets and that you check whether there isn't any ticket reporting your problem yet.

Enjoy!
