I'm using MythTV for years now, but ar not happy with softcam dependency to ffdecsawrapper (sasc-ng). So for a week ago i saw this thread and i decide to give TVHeadend a try. My system is debian testing and i have 2 dual tuner cards TBS6981. After some hours i have a working combination TVHeadend (4.0) with oscam and as frontend XBMC.
Like:
- Channel sap speed is great, compared with MythTV, and the frontend XBMC interface is also not bad;
- Configuration of the system is easier than whitin MythTV;
- All channels, I like, are working. In MythTV some channels are locked, but have no stream (MythTV / softcam problem ?);
-
Concerns:
- It is possible to Pauze a live stream, but it seems not possible to skip forward/backward during live showing;
- In XBMC the listed channels are not always the same?! sometimes i see only a part of the hole range;
- Disk-use / speed. MythTV calcultes where recoding should be stored, I configured several partition on differend disks and MythTV makes the desission. Can TVHeadend handle 4 streams at a time without stuttering?
- My wife and childeren have to learn a new interface
-
I have to play more with TVHeadend to have the feeling that I can swap to TVHeadend, but what i see so far is very nice.
I'm developer my self and have experiance in C / C++, is there a possibility to get involved in this project?
Is there a special reason that TVHeadend is written in C instead of C++?
