Thanks, I was waiting for timeshifting to try NextPVR

ForTheRecord is almost ready to build again... From what i've see they fixed the posting issue and we just need this PR to be merged
https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons/pull/70

I went waaaaay out on a limb here... and built a ForTheRecord build with Red_F's submitted changes, which have not yet been approved/merged into the opdenkamp repository. I built this because I know there are a lot of FTR users out there waiting to play with a new FTR build.

Please be advised, these builds are experimental and have NOT been tested by me, so please let me know if they do not work and I will remove them from the binaries page.

Thanks a lot for this. RedF is pretty furious at comiting stuff right now, I see commits every hours or so Smile

You might have an issue to keep up lol

I understand and noted Wink

I will do a fresh build daily as long as I'm not flogged Blush

. Today's build was mainly a start for folks wanting to get FTR back in XBMC.

I just did a quick test with Oct. 26 Frodo build and the ForTheRecord add-on. Everything is working for me!
Nice job, thanks for compiling this so quickly!

Do you guys have an opinion between nextPVR and FTR, I'm trying to figure out which one to pick.

wileecoyote · 2012-10-26, 21:46

Posted new Oct 25th Linux builds of NextPVR, with timeshifting support.

Last time I used next pvr, channel changes were slow as, and it was pretty buggy... I haven't seen many commits on git from sub3 since then so I'm assuming its still slow and buggy. FTR has been the best so far. Media portal is buggy also.

It honestly depends on what tuners you use. They are both really good back-ends.

I recently moved from FTR to NPVR only because I use Hauppauge HD-PVR/Colossus tuners. If FTR supported them I probably would have never looked at any other solution. On the other side, NPVR has been very easy to setup and Sub (the main developer of NPVR) has been great to work with.

All in all it's a win-win either way you go. Both have a great support staff and both are solid back-ends.

FTR has issues with picking up all your channels, then doesn't offer a way yo manually add. Kind of disappointing cause other than that I like it the best.

Its still fairly early days for NextPVR's XBMC addon, so I definitely wouldn't claim its perfect. I'm happy to look at problems people encounter though - just post (over at http://forums.gbpvr.com/forumdisplay.php?54-XBMC) a description of the problem, along with the logs, and I'll check it out.

I've just commited a pile of changes yesterday. I'd been holding off submitting some stuff while trying to coordinate other changes made on the backend, and also while the nextpvr addon was being merged into the XBMC mainline.

I use silicondust hdhr3 (atsc antenna) network tuners.
