VDR Plugin

Dear all,

found this on web http://i-vdr.de/

So far i haven't tried this. This might be a valuable add on for the VDR plugin.
I'll try it out in the next weeks and will share my experiences.

No problem but it would be nice to try and get hdhomerun working in VDR I tried yaVDR but it was very difficult to setup. It seems the VDR is not easy to setup. I have been doing some tinkering with tvheadend I managed to get hdhomwrun working and analogue video working as well. This is done on a separate box.

How do I connect xbmc to VDR?

Which plugin, what port?

Running a VDR for XBMC is not that difficult.
Of course you ned a working VDR (server), a plugin for VDR to stream the video to XBMC and a PVR Plugin for XBMC to receive the stream.

VDR Plugins to stream to XBMC: VNSI / XVDR
And since XBMC 12 (Frodo) you can simply activate the PVR plugin inside XBMC (Settings -> Add-ons -> Disabled add-ons -> PVR)

I used the very(!) leightweight MLD (MiniDVBLinux Distribution) with only 15 mb (without any plugins) - but it is in German: http://www.minidvblinux.de
There is even a version, which is actually still in developement, for a raspberryPi!

Ok, so this is a plugin that gives me vdr server - check
Now where and how do I download and install the plugin for this server that will stream to xbmc

I have my xbmc all primed and ready with a PVR plugin.

I just need to know how to make this server work with it.

Thanks

That depends on the OS you have installed. Or - are you using a VDR distribution as yaVDR, MLD, Gen2VDR etc?
Does your VDR already work without XBMC?

Please note that this is another problem than the thread is for. Also it is no OMV related problem. So i think it would be the best if you open up another Thread - maybe in "OffTopic".

I might be a little "dense" but I do not understand ...

This here is OMV plugin VDR plugin thread.
In it we are talking about VDR in OMV (operating system) which runs on WHEEZY.

My questions are directly related to this issue, as I have installed the OMV plugin - VDR plugin, which as I understand it (unless I am wrong in which case please correct me), installs a server as part of its installation (I do not know which server it is).
I would like to make this OMV VDR install work with my XBMC.

I previously installed TvHeadend, but every time (like 6-10 times) I messed my OMV install (unsure if its because of its dependencies or other issues), so I thought I would go the easy route and try this VDR.
I do not have any experience with the VDR server, plugin, or whats needed for it to work with XBMC.
I also do not know how to see if it works, I wish I was able to see my channels via WEB or windows client but I do not know how.

In short, I have OMV, This plugin, and XBMC, I need them all to connect.
Hope this clears it up...

Can you tel me how did you do to install the hdhomerun driver ? I've been trying for a month now and still not working !!!

I thought you were using another VDR distribution - sry!

I haven´t tried the VDR plugin. Maybe I can find some time this weekend. Got an old TeVii S470 (DVB-S) that should work pretty nice in my HP N40L. After i get this to work, i can test it with XBMC. Just gimme some time

How can I know which vdr server this plugin installs?

Also where are the sources (if I need to compile vnsi plugin) like

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=147852

Prerequisites:
- sources of VDR. Many distributions provide a package for the sources e.g. "apt-get install vdr-dev" or yavdr-dev
- locate the folder where the sources are, this is VDRDIR, e.g. /usr/include/vdr
- locate folder with binaries for plugins, this is LIBDIR, e.g. /usr/lib/vdr/plugins

Looks like my DVB/S2 card is damaged. I do not find it via "Check for Connected Devices". Just installed a VDR to test ist. Same result - card does not work. Therefore i cannot test it :roll:

But somebody - maybe one where it already works - can try this:

VDRAdmin-AM Panel --> Configuration --> Streaming --> "Stream LiveTV" to YES.
Looks like there is already a Streamdev server integrated...

Tried to simply copy the firmware:

wget -c http://tevii.com/tevii_ds3000.tar.gz
tar xfv tevii_ds3000.tar.gz cp tevii_ds3000/dvb-fe-ds3000.fw /lib/firmware/

But i realized that this should work since kernel 2.6.33 - but as i can see we´re on 2.6.32...

Maybe I´ll try to compile the s2-liplianin drivers...

Device is an old Tevii S470.

Haha ryeco - too late! Remembered that there was a button. Already clicked it 5 mins ago!

A picture says more than thousand words:

AND: I confirm it works. DVB-S2, Tevii S470 with Backports 3.2 kernel.
Just recorded my first 30 seconds

So when trying to uinstall vnsi plugin I get:

root@omv:~# apt-get install vdr-plugin-vnsiserver

What now?
