I would use the same xbmc softhddevice time . It works with the command: svdrsend PLUG softhdevice ATTA But I have a problem with the sound output. Softhddevice only supports ALSA therefore no possibility of using PULSEAUDIO . I would like to share my SPDIF between XBMC and Softhddevice .
I run vdr with the following command line :
vdr -P'sofhddevice -v vdpau -v -a plughw : 0,1 '
My .asoundrc file : pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 2048 slave { pcm "hw:0,1" # Always use pure hw. dmix will reformat/resample audio. period_size 512 # If you get stuttering/or non-working audio, fiddle around with these buffer_size 4096 rate 48000 # HDMI, I'll assume 48kHz format S16_LE # Should be default for pretty much any soundcard. } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } }
pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm dmixer }
My aplay -l output : **** Liste des Périphériques Matériels PLAYBACK **** carte 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], périphérique 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0 carte 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], périphérique 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0 carte 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], périphérique 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0
The options are tested:
XBMC SPDIF solfthddevice with -a plughw : 0.1 => XBMC OK, VDR no sound XBMC Default , solfthddevice with -a plughw : 0,1 => XBMC no sound, VDR OK XBMC Default ; solfthddevice with -a dmix => XBMC no sound, VDR OK
The only solution that works is : XBMC SPDIF solfthddevice with -a plughw : 0,3 (HDMI) : OK XBMC , VDR OK
but the HDMI sound on my TV is bad, this is why I like to have everything on the SPDIF.
