Hi,I've got a first version of an extension to streamdev for SageTV ready.
You can check it out here: http://trac.assembla.com/SageTV-VDR-Integration .
I watched some HDTV on the extender with it yesterday and the picture was so fluid, I am still grinning.
Cool!
When you stop grinning and have some time please upload those network/packet dumps between SageTV server and HD Extender.. :)

Nice!
If anyone wants to write a VDR plugin to support the device directly, I
can
provide network dumps of the communication between the extender and the server.
Ok. Can you put some dumps online? Or if you don't have web/ftp space for that, I think I can fix something..
I could take a look at those dumps..

Dear Pasi, Out of the box, it only works together with the SageTV server
software.
The GUI is rendered on the server, the device acts as a dumb
terminal.
However, they released some source code, and I just found some more technical details on the MythTV wiki: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/SageTV_HD_Extender
Yep.. someone with access to hd_extender should do some packet
capturing
and/or tracing to figure out how the communication between sagetv
server
and hd_extender is done..
I'm not interested in using SageTV software, but I'd like to use this device with VDR.. if possible. And possibly help developing a vdr plugin :)

Hmm.. is there any way to send video streams to this device without
running
sagetv atm?
Looks like a nice device:)
