Means: problem is there. But a plugin uses http interface, meaning: channel change is done as if ou would do it over http page of your box (thats works fast reliable and well).
Therefore: same thing would not happen with E1 PVR plugin!

Actually on enigma2 you have to issue a special command so that the enigma-box zaps to a channel. That's why I added the "Zap before channel switch"-option to the addon. If you only have a single tuner box then this is a really mandatory feature.

But I agree with you - a proper enigma1 PVR plugin would take care of this...

One question to all experts here: Are enigma1-boxes still sold out there? I thought enigma2 was already quite old...

that's the issue with tuxbox in XBMC, it lacks the feature of zapping...
in my case i can quit start a channel, quit it, but when i start another channel: nothing, just busy

And to answer your question: let's say there are still a lot boxes like dm500s around (half of them orginal, the other half other manufacturers but clones) and thgey are till being sold (used ones and clones). and as far as i know you can still do a lot with E1 boxes like dm500s (except for the fact that you don't have HD)

If you scroll back a bit you'll see already asked jedembski and he told us why it won't work with E1 and what is needed (it's no XML).

Hmm, I just checked the TuxBox-Code within XBMC and was very surprised that it also parses the output from enigma1 boxes as XML. I then searched the internet again and found this (sorry, this is only in german):

http://wiki.tuxbox.org/wiki/Ehttp_api_do...Funktionen

So it looks like there is an XML interface after all!

Unfortunately, there are no real examples for these commands shown there:

- Fetching all timers: http://dbox/xml/timers
- Fetch the epg for the channel with the {service reference}: http://dbox/xml/serviceepg?ref={service reference}
- Boxinfo: http://dbox/xml/boxinfo
- Fetch all service: http://dbox/xml/services

And also there is no indication on what those functions to add, delete or change timers return on success / failure.

If you could sent me some examples then I could check whether I could clone this addon and amend the necessary parts in the code. But someone else would have to test this as I don't have any real enigma1 box to test this.

No problem, ich spreche auch deutsch (komme ja selbst aus DE) :-)
That was the thing: i thought (i remember you telling me this by yourself in another thread) that E1 boxes doesn't have XML interface.
So basiclly your saying that tuxbox should have XML output, that XBMC is apparently parsing, right?

If you manage to adapt the addon, i'll be glad to test it. Have an E1 box dm500s.
And compiling 1-2 times a day XBMC.

---------------
Question aside: does anyone know if all tuxbox plugins integrated (mostly as plugins) in E1 images are all the same or some light-derivates (perhaps without any XML feature)?!?
