So, now that PVR has been merged with mainline XBMC, I'd like to inform you about some things:

Pull requests will have to be sent to xbmc/xbmc now, instead of opdenkamp/xbmc. Existing pull requests will be closed and will need to be recreated
No more issue reporting on github, but only on XBMC's trac: http://trac.xbmc.org/
Add-ons are not included in XBMC's nightly builds, and will not be included in the official XBMC Frodo final. You will need to build them yourselves by following the instructions here: https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-ad...ter/README . Or you can use an alternative source that still includes them. I will most likely provide them in my own builds, and/or make them downloadable as separate package, but that still has to be determined (still very early after the merge)
Only the PVR add-ons that can be found on https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons can be supported properly. If you have issues with add-ons that cannot be found there, then you should contact the add-on author, listed in the add-on information window.
The wiki pages about PVR will be updated asap. Help is welcome to get it in shape before Frodo is final!

and I probably forgot some things again that I'll add to this post later Smile

Enjoy testing, and please report any issue you find (that hasn't been reported yet), so we can all enjoy a nice, stable, and properly working Frodo with PVR

dushmaniac,

Could we please have at least the Demo addon provided so that skins can be updated to handle PVR. Now that PVR is a standard part of XBMC, really the skin elements for PVR should also be part of a skin.

you can build it from source yourself, if you follow the instructions in the readme on https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons
XBMC will not be shipped with PVR add-ons.

Thanks for your good work!
I only want to know which tvheadend repo is now recommended in combination with your xbmc-pvr-addons repo. The newly created one or your good old one. ;-)

@Dushmaniac, translate PVR po file for Portuguese (Brazil), get file here for XBMC Frodo nightlies:

Thanks for great job.

Only use transifex site.
No other way allowed. That's why we started using it. Just have patience until it's updated

@Dushmaniac

I have been testing the teams dev version for some time now in comparison with the available 'server' alternatives, and to create a usable server solution (even though XBMC is not a server product in prod) apart from the reported issues it works quite well, (streaming wirelessly is a problem for me att.).

I have been testing XBMC (EDEN) + PVR with MP Server 1.2.3.0 with the TVserverXBMC plugin

Could you please advise the following info:

Do I still have to download and install the server plugin for MP, I'm guessing yes?

Do I have to have an instance of XBMC installed on the server for the solution to work?

My thanks for all the teams great efforts in this space, it's a real Big step up above the competition

@mysticpete:
Yes, you still need the TVServerXBMC plugin when you want to use the MediaPortal TVServer as backend.
No, you don't need XBMC or MediaPortal (frontend) on the backend machine if you want to use it as headless TV server.

Thanks Margro for your swift reply, all good now.

Will my pvr settings work after update? I have some custom settings in xbmc 11 (channel icons, channel order, tvheadend passwords etc). Will I have to configure these options again after update to latest build?

raptorjr · 2012-09-09, 12:48

Which addon is for tvheadend? Or it is not included yet?

margro · 2012-09-09, 15:47

@raptorjr: the pvr.hts addon is for TVHeadend

raptorjr · 2012-09-09, 16:50

Oh, nice. Thank you.

haf-blade · 2012-09-12, 01:17

Yeah. I'm looking forward to the first stable final release of the pvr mp server or fortherecord implementations. I really like xbmc and this could really make it perfect. Tv on a raspberry pi would be so awesome.

opdenkamp · 2012-09-12, 10:12

all very nice, but all of this doesn't have much to do with "PVR development changes", which is the topic here
