The setup of the backend was so easy!
I did however run into a few issues with playback, mainly buffering at the start of a channel playback (I remember people saying how instant channel changes were with Tvheadend.. but VDR is much quicker for me at starting playback)
Is there something else I need to enable/disable somewhere to stop the buffering ?
I'm running on a gigabit LAN and VDR is rapid to begin playing back once tuned - no buffering at all.
I also didn't get any sound on the test channel I tried but I didn't play around with it too much.
Tvheadend is much quicker for me than VDR when i use Tvheadend trough HTSP.. i've never tried it as backend for PVR2.. did you patch te source or is the patch merged in trunk already for Tvheadend?
Buffering could be related to PVR2 i think.. because Tvheadend connected by HTSP is a lot quicker than VDR... atleast for me..
