I have two problems:
1) I'm not getting any audio. I've tried tinkering with the settings in the audio hardware, I get sound for everything else but not for tvheadend.
I live in NZ and we use HE AAC which XBMC doesn't currently support out of the box - i've compiled a build following these instructions to get it working and can stream mythtv succesfully with audio.
Maybe I need to patch the configure of the ffmpeg used by tvheadend to use libfaad?
EDIT: I tweaked the ocnfigure script to enable libfaad in ffmpeg, still no luck though. Anyone have any ideas?
xbmc log on pastebin.
2) I'd like to set up xmtv in tvheadend but I use a custom grabber (from reven.co.nz). Is there anyway I can point tv headend to an xmltv.xml file?
TIA for any help, this is looking awesome so far.
1) Yes, Tvheadend does not support AAC at the moment.
It's partially there. If you press the (i) -icon in the DVB / services tab you'll see
(I hope) that Tvheadend detects audio as AAC.
I started to implement AAC LATM demultiplexing but apparently I was too lazy
to finish it. Now that I have users wanting it it's a bit more encouraging to fix though.
2) Not really, you could craft your own hack that just cat your xmltv.xml file to stdout:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "x$1" = "x" ]; then
cat /path/to/my/xmltv.xml
exit 0
fi
case "$1" in
--description)
echo "My custom grabber"
;;
--version)
echo "1.0"
;;
--capabilities)
echo "baseline"
;;
esac
Put this file somewhere in $PATH or in
Code:
/bin
/usr/bin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor
Remeber to make the file executable
Code:
chmod 755 tv_grab_custom
Important: The filename MUST start with tv_grab_ or Tvheadend won't even
try to pickup the grabber.
Let me know if you have any other questions
