VDR to XBMC

Hi,

has anybody tried to connect the M740 to XBMC ?
I can connect to the box via streamdev but I really would
like to use the PVR Backend in XBMC and I think for
that I need the XVDR Plugin for the M740.
Did anybody tried to get a setup like that running ?

Regards,

Rainer

Hi,
I'm trying to compile the vnsiserver plugin. Downloaded the source code
and put it in vdr-ng-em/build/vdr-m7x0/PLUGINS/src/vnsiserver
When I run make I get the following error:

Any idea what I need to do to compile the plugin ?

Thanks,

Rainer

I don't see line with compilation error here.
Error must be in cmdcontrol.c?
Have you checked the plugin dependencies?

bittor escribió:Have you checked the plugin dependencies?

Nope, have to research about that,

Thanks,

Rainer

Hi,
after a long time I'm starting over again :-)
I downloaded the sources for the vdr plugin vnsiserver
and put them into

Código:

/vdr-ng-em/build/vdr-m7x0-PLUGINS/vnsiserver

I also modified the .config

Código:


CONFIG_VDR-PLUGINS = vnsiserver
CONFIG_VDR-PLUGINS-LIBS = vnsiserver


I get the following compile errors :

Now I'm a little bit lost :-(, am I missing any files or do I need to declare some functions/variables ?
Can someone point me into the right direction ?

Regards,

Rainer

You have many errors, with VDR, coding and UTF8.

Our VDR is old and any functions are different from those used by plugin or non exist.

In EPGSearch plugin you can copy any code for vnsiserver plugin.
For example:

Código:

#if APIVERSNUM < 10509
#define trVDR(s) tr(s)
#endif

and for lines with "PrintDay" error, you can use:

Código:

#if VDRVERSNUM < 10503
                          *Timer->PrintDay(start, Timer->WeekDays()),
#else
                          *Timer->PrintDay(start, Timer->WeekDays(), true),
#endif

You have to define "VNSI_SERVER_VERSION", but why it is not defined?
Plugin is called vnsiserver, but file is vnsiclient.c.

"cCharSetConv" must be *copied* from the latest VDR-PC and you probably have to add libiconv library to firmware (it's a option in .config).

I haven't plugin source code and don't know what is "m_toUTF8", but our firmware doesn't include UTF8 support, so you have to define it in the plugin.

There are other coding errors that need fixing.

Hi bittor,

thanks for pointing me into the direction, I'll try to get some time during the WE to fix and adjust :-)

Regards,

Rainer

Hi bittor,
just another question :

In what file do I have to put these things ?
vnsiserver.h or in the Makefile ?

A little howto on how to compile plugin can be found
here
Thats looks very easy, but I guess not for the vdr for the M740 :-(

Regards,

Rainer

You should not edit Makefile, but if this is a problem you will not be able adapt the plugin for M740 because there are many errors and some will not be easy to fix if you aren't a developer.

Though you can to compile the plugin without errors, it can work incorrectly and need other corrections.

Hi,
after many hours of trial and error I came to the conclusion :
I'm not a developer :-(
I can do some bash scripting but other than that I'm lost.
So here is my question :
Anybody willing to get into the subject for a little donation ??

To get my new little Multimedia System (raspberry) at home running I need either
the vnsiserver or the xvdr plugin for our sweet little box.


Regards,

Rainer

Have you tried to compile xvdr plugin?

yes, but also no success because of my limited knowlegde :-(

xvdr plugin for m740av would be nice. In the past i have tried to compile the plugin, but there are too many error messages ...

@Rainer: You can add a new video source in XBMC: just enter vtp://ip_of_m740 and then you can watch Live TV from m740av with the streamdevserver-plugin.

Hi,
yes I know but : no epg and switching channels is very slow plus your recordings will not show up nicely :-)
At the moment I'm trying to get xbmc + xvdr or vnsiserver running on the raspberry pi using Raspbmc and it looks
good so far with vnsiserver. And I can watch my old VDR Recordings :-)
That way could use the M740 just as a Recorder and do all the Rest with the raspberry hooked up to my TV

Regards,

Rainer

P.S. Still it would be nice to have either xvdr or vnsiserver running on the M740

I have solved some more problems with the xvdr plugin, but I can't solve this error: Can anyone help?

Hi guybrush,

thats look very good.
Does this mean the xvdr plugin is running now ?
If yes, do you mind to share the source code ?

Regards,

Rainer

Hi,
just a little update:
running vdr + vnsiser + xbmc on my raspberry is only partialy working :-(
I think that's because the pi maybe has not enough memory.
Mine only has 256 MB. Running vdr on a laptop + vnsiserver everyting looks good. But I don't want to have my laptop running 24 hrs !
So I'm looking forward testing the xvdr server on M740.
Regards,

Rainer

xvdr-plugin is not running yet, but i am able to compile it. m740 log:

I have some stupid simple general problems :-(

1) I always do a "full" compile (touch .config && make) How do I only compile the plugin?

2) xvdr-plugin does not find the vdr header files, so my workaround is to put in all xvdr-files the absolute path to the vdr header. I tried different things with VDRDIR in the Makefile, but without success

3) After compiling I can find the xvdr plugin in the xvdr-plugin-folder, but it is not copied to the firmware. I always get the error:

P.S. I am using OpenElec (2.99.1) (XBMC Frodo) with an AMD E-350.

Hi guybrush,

to bad it does not tell you what symbol cannot be resolved :-(
Are these the only errors you get during compile ?
Do you mind to share the source with your correction ?
4 Eyes may see more then just 2
I have the same problem with the full compile, have not figured out
yet how to compile only the plugins.

Regards,

Rainer

Would be nice to have xvdr or vnsi for the M7x0.

You can check other Makefile m7x0-plugins, for example:

Código:

DVBDIR ?= ../../..
VDRDIR ?= ../../..
LIBDIR ?= ../../lib

You must also use "?=" in CXX, CXXFLAGS, AR, ...

You must have a error before when compiled plugin, for example, plugin do a strip to .so file but it isn't using strip from ToolChain.

Hi bittor,

Thank You for your very useful hints. Now compiliation runs to: "Finished, we are ready to rumble ..." :-)

m740-log looks promising and I can start to debug xvdr plugin line by line.

I figured out, m740 is crashing at this line:

Código:


XVDRChannels.Lock(false)


Código:


bool cXVDRChannels::Lock(bool Write, int TimeoutMs) {
   if (cRwLock::Lock(Write, TimeoutMs)) {
      if (Get()->Lock(Write, TimeoutMs)) {
         return true;
      } else {
         cRwLock::Unlock();
      }
   }

   return false;
}

How do you know that is crashing in that line?
Have you used GDB or strace?

Maybe you will laugh ... To understand what the plugin is doing and see quickly which commands are executed I have implemented before each command an output to the LOG-file, e.g.:

Código:


INFOLOG("next command to be executed: XVDRChannels.Lock(false)");
XVDRChannels.Lock(false);


Due to this is the last line in the log file, i assume this might be the problem. Is there a reason this approach doesn't work?
