@limahlowski:
Current Master as of today is broken - just a bit - so if you get a huge number of crashes, update in a few days.

make sure you do "git submodule update" every time you rebase. pvr repo might not point to the last commit of pvr-addons repo.

FernetMenta has fixed a lot of stuff over the day. So - you can try to rebuild if you want - but if everything is working out for you - keep what you have.

Sorry, I have no idea. If you find out, please keep us posted. I will update the howto accordingly.

Well, is there any way to patch the vanilla xbmc git sources with the xvba-changes? I just wonder why there's a whole new fork for this. Any chances I can get a diff-file or something like that?

This can be done via git. Get both trees, do a rebase or a merge or something.

That produces lots of conflicts Sad
Also tried to just copy over the xbmc/pvrclients folder and edit the Makefile but the code base seems to have too many differences (missing declaration for PVR_HANDLE struct and so on).
There must be a way to extract only the xvba-dependent changes and merge those into the main xbmc branch.

This worked for me a week or so ago, before the pvr api changes -
Code:
git clone https://github.com/fetzerch/xbmc-pvr-addons.git
cd xbmc-pvr-addons
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/usr
sudo make install

nobody said it would be easy. The question is, why would you need that? Extract _only_ xvba is really hard because it depends on other improvements in FernetMentas tree.

I showed you the way above - have fun. And try the hint by divingmule. At a first look - it should work without problems - make sure you stay at PVR client api 1.3.0 - as this is the version we currently run in this ppa.
