Dear Petri, XBMC works for the ORIGINAL Xbox (aka xbox1) not for the XBOX 360 Art Date: Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:02:01 +0200 From: Petri Helin <phelin(a)googlemail.com> Subject: Re: [vdr] XBMC and vdr To: VDR Mailing List <vdr(a)linuxtv.org> Message-ID: <4B6C7939.3030208(a)googlemail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed On 02/05/2010 04:16 PM, martinez wrote: To the best of my knowledge XBMC can only be compiled for xbox1 It is always best not to rely on flawed knowledge, but try to find out the truth instead: http://xbmc.org/about/ -Petri

Tuning USB
by Markus Fritsche 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hello, I am using (or trying to) vdr on an Eee PC 701. vdr is set up to be headless, just used for network streaming and (hopefully) recording. I am facing some issues with the USB connection though. Some details on my setup: - Eee 701 - Ubuntu Server 9.10 - Ubuntu VDR and dvb drivers - USB Hauppauge Nova-T Stick 3 - USB Harddisks for storage The issue I'm facing is that all three external USB ports of the Eee 701 are wired to the same hub (at least, that's what I think ;-)). Live TV via network streaming (vdr-plugin-streamdev-server) is fine and works like a charm. Recording, though, cancels after 30 seconds, saying that "ERROR: video data stream broken". I already set the autosuspend of USB to off, changed the cpufreq govenor to performance. Are there any other tweaks you can think of that will allow vdr to record & store the stream while being on the same USB HUB? Or is this a lost cause? Best regards, Markus

To the best of my knowledge XBMC can only be compiled for xbox1 Anyway for a linux program to 'pretend' to be a Windows Media Center so the xbox 360 is happy talking to it? or any vdr plugin that can do the job?

vdr htpc + xine = dropped frames warning
by martinez 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

I am running a htpc with vdr 1.7.11 + xine I was using oxine where there is no problem with warnings but unfortunately it does not support vdpau and doesn't seem to be regularly maintained. I have disabled dropped frames warning in xine but somehow I still get from time to time a window telling me that xine is dropping some frames. Since the HTPC is not connected to a mouse the only work around is to press the power button on the remote (which is mapped to a script that kills xine and returns to the main menu) I would appreciate if somebody could point me to a sure way to get rid of all warnings in xine, in fact I do not want xine to display anything other than the vdr osd and the ts stream. Is easy to patch the xine source code to act more suitably to an htpc? cheers Art Martinez

Dolby audio on DasErste
by Falk Spitzberg 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hello, I asked for this topic a while back. When i select Dolby audio, VDR uses the Dolby digital track on all channels but "DasErste". I know that they name their dolby track non standard and i know that i can edit the channels.conf to name the pid correctly. But for other reasons i need to turn on automatic PID update, and now I have to select the Dolby track manually, each time when i switch to that channel, because the automatic update overwrites my manual change. Is there another possibility to tell VDR to use the dd Track although it has a non standard name? Any help is greatly appreciated. -- Falk Spitzberg E-Mail: post(a)spitzberg.de

DM-8000S or HTPC ?
by Gregoire Favre 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hello, I'd like to buy/create a new dual-DVB-s2 system, WAF compatible. I thought about the DM-8000S http://www.dm8000.co.uk/ which is quiete expensive... My other choice would be to create a new HTPC with something like an Asus P7H57D-V EVO http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=CadI5xNLwMYopFyJ or another H57 mainboard like http://geizhals.eu/?cat=mbp4_1156&asuch=H57 with an Intel "Clarkdale"-CPUs (i3-xxx or i5-6xx) such that I don't need a graphic card. And of course a dual DVB-S2 card, like a Mystique TV Homepage - SaTiX, CaBiX, TeRiX, HDTV, S2, H.264 http://www.mystique-tv.de/ and a good HD and a good case. Such a config would of course cost less than the DM-8000S and would be much more full of power (and allow to use VDR) any thought about it ?

1.7.12 w/ FF card on old Linux + S2API wrapper
by Gavin Hamill 04 Feb '10

04 Feb '10

I've been using the same 1.4.7 setup for over 2 years and thought I'd dip my toe in the 1.7.x world. I'm using Ubuntu dapper (mid 2006) so my DVB kernel/header setup is still at API level 3, hence I've been using Udo Richter's S2API wrapper. Compile was ok, but even trying the simplest setup of "./vdr -Pdvbsddevice" I'm unable to get a picture or OSD through the FF card. Is this supposed to work with the S2API patches, or are those purely for input only?
