I have just got a pvr500 working with pvrinput and vdr. However, streamdev doesn't seem to work with this card. Is this just my system or am I unlikely to get it working?
As an aside I bought two PAL PVR250's on eBay (the seller thought they were NTSC). He'll take them back but asked me to ask around if anyone was interested in a bargain in Europeland for these. I figured the linux / VDR community maybe, especially as they appear to be rare.

The TS stream produced by pvrinput has no PAT/PMT tables and doesn't provide a PCR. TS streaming with streamdev-0.3.4 didn't work due to the missing PAT/PMT tables, as streamdev solely relied on PAT/PMT when in TS mode. This has been fixed. Take a current CVS version or use a snapshot from http://streamdev.vdr-developer.org.
The missing PAT/PMT and the missing PCR are however still an issue when streaming to VLC. VLC won't accept a TS stream without these parts. Use PES streaming instead.
