[vdr] vdr + xbmc
I was intrigued to see what is this XBMC all around and found that thread in XBMC forum: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=36988 L ooks like there is a way to stream live TV to XBMC from VDR already. Any reason you don't use that option and prefer to have 2 frontends? its working, but its not easy to zap ! and that's also why I use a second frontend sp ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Any reason you don't use that option and prefer to have 2 frontends? For me tv is the main thing, multimedia is a nice add on. Currently xineliboutput is simply the best frontend for budget only systems. I had planned to use mms for multimedia, integration of vdr-sxfe is good documented. XBMC has still to show whether it is a good replacement for mms and not only an eye candy. With my setup the exchange of frontends is an easy task. But maybe the most important reason is that it is so unbelievable simple, and I am so short of time. Gerald ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] xineliboutput OSD and playback problems
2008/12/2 Gerald Dachs [EMAIL PROTECTED]: After reading your mail I have tried yesterday again to use xcompmgr instead of compiz for the hud osd without success. The osd doesn't show up. I think my configuration can't be that wrong, as the hud osd is shown with compiz. Any hints what I have to look for? Do you start the xcompmgr with the -n switch? Does it start correctly? If I start xcompmgr without client side compositing then I'm unable to get hud to work properly. Which window manager you are using together with xcompmgr? Try to make sure that you have the Ubuntu desktop effects disabled as they will probably interfere with the operation of xcompmgr. -- Antti Seppälä ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] xineliboutput OSD and playback problems
2008/12/2 Alex Betis [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hmmm... 2 minutes after I wrote my previous message my HTPC stuck without any way to control it beside the hardware reset. Don't know what killed it, but I have a feeling its the HUD display since when its used, VDR can't stop, it always segfaults. Without HUD its able to stop normally. Will try to find out later where it crashes. Anyone else seen that problem as well? Do you run vdr-sxfe as your display frontend or have you configured xineliboutput to use the local frontend? I've never noticed hud to cause such problems with vdr-sxfe... If you can reproduce this by running vdr with only xineliboutput plugin then more information about the crash (some logs or gdb backtrace) would help in debugging. -- Antti Seppälä ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
