Hello.


I currently have installed yaVDR 0.5 stable.

I have updated xbmc to FrodoB1 as I primarily use this box for XBMC, I on occasion use it for vdr, however I wish to have both options available to me.

the last time I used XBMC-PVR was some time before the summer, so I am a little behind on things and decided to have another look at it, to see the progress, as always I would rather go the official route.

So I did this.


untie-packages (unlink all the yaVDR stuff so I can remove things without being prompted to remove everything)
stop vdr
apt-get remove vdr-plugin-xvdr xbmc-plugin-xvdr
apt-get install vdr-plugin-vnsiserver
start vdr

It started fine, so I loaded xbmc

I used a plugin from here - http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=140148

and got loads of connection lost errors.

( http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374624/ )

I then read about the vnsiserver being updated, so I removed the yaVDR one and tried to grab the one from here ( https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/...ld/3990801 )

But it wont install (urgh)

Code:

vandl@VandL-MC:~/XBMC-Addons/vnsi$ sudo dpkg -i vdr-plugin-vnsiserver_0.9.0.git2                               0121117.1319-0precise_amd64.deb

vandl@VandL-MC:~/XBMC-Addons/vnsi$

Short of swearing very loudly, or installing the xvdr package (I dont mind doing this, But I would just rather stay official) what can I do to resolve this ?


Thanks in advance

wsnipex builds the plugin against ubuntu ppa version of vdr. I know that he keeps the pvr addons in sync with XBMC nightlies. This is not the case for yavdr. In case you want to stick with yavdr I recommend that you compile vdr-plugin-vnsiserver yourself. It's not a big deal: install package vdr-dev, get the sources of vdr-pligin-vnsiserver, and compile:
make VDRDIR=<path to vdr sources> LIBDIR=<path to plugin dir of vdr>

Thank you, I will have a look later and see if I can work it all out.

EDIT //

Working fine (well seems to be) thanks for the pointers, for those wondering.

Code:

git clone https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc-pvr-addons.git
cd to /xbmc-pvr-addons/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver/
sudo stop vdr
sudo make VDRDIR=/usr/include/vdr LIBDIR=/usr/lib/vdr/plugins
sudo start vdr
