I guess only few people have tried that. They run on ppc, but at least Enigma and (most parts of) Neutrino are known to have no endian problems. ;) > I also found http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxbox/ which is really old > and I cannot decompact the archive... This project is - besides of is name - not related in any way. > Is someone able to compil and use the apps from the CVS under his PC? There was some effort to port Enigma to directfb. There is an (outdated) branch in cvs [1]. I made a little patch to make it theoretically work with the so called premium cards and matrox back end scalers, but I don't know exactly how far Felix [2] proceeded. AFAIK he doesn't own a premium card. Please contact him for details. Neutrino does not work standalone but is surrounded by some daemon processes which do several jobs: controld - adjusts volume, scart, aspect ratio etc. nhttpd - a web frontend (zapping, recording timers etc.) sectionsd - gathers event information for Neutrino's EPG zapit - manages channel lists, channel changes, scans, all demux stuff except EIT. I used nhttpd + sectionsd + zapit for some time to watch tv with my hauppauge card on x86, but I prefer real set top boxes for daily use. ;) I don't know anyone who tried lcars on other hardware than dbox2 or dreambox. All three apps use DVB V3 drivers, but some features depend on dbox2-specific devices (look for /dev/dbox/* in the source code) due to lack of useable Linux APIs (pal encoder, vcr events, scart switches, ...). The user interface is drawed using a framebuffer device. Video underlay is required. User input is done using /dev/input/event. The mp3 players of Enigma and Neutrino depend on OSS compatible drivers.
