A few people have expressed concern now so I'm sending a test posting out.

yes it works. But I also had some concerns because nobody were interested in GUI integration of VDR into XBMC Marx

I've heard people mention a desire for that many times, I'm surprised nobody replied!
I would be very interested in having the vanilla VDR gui available all the time in XBMC, but this is just for accessing settings through the menus.

What you miss besides settings? Playing functions, EPG etc are quite good in XBMC via VNSI Marx
Functionality is there, but it's just not as smooth sailing with the remote in hand, eg. green button for schedule, red for recordings.

I use XVDR and miss in some ways the plain old Vanilla VDR "GUI". Maybe its possible with configuration, but I would like to "push" XBMC to the background and be able to use all remote keys in XVDR as if I was working natively with VDR, then maybe a single key press to get back to "normal" XBMC functionality. Its a WAF thing.
Cheers

It's probably possible with XMBC Advanced launcher plugin. I hovewer didn't succeed in compiling softhddevice to check it Marx

Look at yavdr, it provides that but the other way around and for me that is preferable as we watch TV / recordings much more than using XBMC to listen to music or watch videos.
You use vanilla VDR as the base, then when you need XBMC you call it either via the desktop/mouse or via the VDR menu (Applications/Media/XBMC). When you exit XBMC it seamlessly goes back into VDR.
I found that remote control and sound (including AC3 and DTS) work seamlessly out of the box now with the latest version.
The purpose for me would be to run a VDR client on a raspberry pi. XBMC already runs there and I've used it a bit with VNSI, but until I can get the native GUI running on XBMC, it's not WAF ready. I assume whenever libxine is finally able to make use of the hw accelerated decoding, xinelibplugin will supply what's needed.

Yes, I have a few Pis too, I posted awhile ago as to whether anyone had had any joy with getting a VDR client running on it but didn't get a response.
I would much prefer to use a Pi as a client, rather than run it through XBMC which seems very laggy as a PVR on a Pi.
Is anyone working on xine acceleration for the Pi do you know?
Thanks
Not using xine i think. There's the vompclient, which uses a different OSD altogether from vanilla VDR. It works fairly well. XBMC with PVR addition using VNSI also works fairly well. Both have some glitches currently though, eg when you get a window overlay in XBMC (eg. the schedule), video playback starts to stutter and move along at half speed.

Maybe someone should to donate a Raspberry Pi to Klaus so that he is caught by that pi-fever as well..

Here's a description about whats needed from xine in order to use hw accelerated playback when using directfb on the pi;

I have an extra Raspberry Pi sitting here but I don't see what good sending it to Klaus would do. The Raspberry Pi is very slow doing everything besides hardware accelerated h264 and mpeg2 (if you paid for the codec) decoding. Compiling on it, updating it, etc... is terrible! There are other similar devices with far better capabilities and speed to be honest.
Which devices are you thinking about, that can be had for $35, uses less than 5w power and which can do accelerated playback of mpeg2/h.264 with open source software?

If you want a low-power device for $35 that does hw-accel decoding of h264, and additionally mpeg2 if you purchase the codec, then you should buy a Raspberry Pi. If you want a device with sata, a faster cpu, hw-accel h264 & mpeg2 standard, dedicated ethernet that doesn't piggyback the usb bus, run linux (ubuntu, debian, and arch seems to be common) or android, don't have issues with Netflix, etc... then look into all the alternatives available now. Most are in a similar price range or ball park. Some are more expensive like the Minix NEO-G4-108A ($61.99 at newegg) but you also get more for your money; hdmi adapter, usb cable, power adapter, remote control, 8gb storage..
There's nothing special about the Raspberry Pi. It was somewhat unique when it first came out but there are several (most are ARM/Mali400) boards out. Of all these types of devices that have hit the market recently, the Raspberry Pi is probably the least powerful of them all. Some people even refer to it as crippled because of design choices. BTW, you should remember that the $35 Raspberry Pi isn't usable out-of-the-box. It doesn't come with any cables, any storage, any power source, nothing but the board itself. You aren't paying $35 for a usable device -- it's $35 + $sd card + $cables (usb/hdmi) + $power supply at a minimum.

Hi, I'm very interested, just ill at the moment. Finally ironed out the last kinks in XBMC using XVDR before I got ill.
Cheers Brian
