I just asked for space on my ppa. I will upload lucid version when it is approved.

I see you have added libva and vdpau-backend.. can you maybe explain how it works? just installing those PPA's and your XBMC-PVR2 should work?

VAAPI will be used on live tv? Smile

Thanks!

Not yet. I am still testing this. I hope I will get it to work during this weekend.

Ive been successful in putting the tvheadend web server behind apache with the following .conf

Code:
ProxyRequests Off

ProxyPass /tvheadend/ http://localhost:PORT/

<Proxy *>
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPassReverse /tvheadend/ /

However this means I need to type in
Code:
http://domain.com/tvheadend/
I'd rather not have to put in the trailing slash, however when I edit the trailing slash out of the above code, when i login in it tries to go here:
Code:
http://domain.com/tvheadendextjs.html
Has anyone achieved this?

I managed to get it working with VAAPI. But deinterlacing is not working now. You can try it with instaling xbmc from my repo. You also need package vdpau-video installed, which you also get in my repository.

Then you can select in XBMC settings -> Video -> Playback what you want to use for hardware acceleration.

I hope they will add deinterlacing soon.

Firstly great job on the ppa!

I am not able to start a VDPAU mpeg2 stream

FactoryCodec - Video: - Opening
CDVDVideoCodecFFmpeg::Open() Creating VDPAU(0x0, 2)
(VDPAU) no width/height available, can't init
CDVDVideoCodecFFmpeg::Open() Failed to get VDPAU device
(VDPAU) Close
CDVDVideoCodecFFmpeg::Open() Using codec: MPEG-2 video

I have Nvidia ION is this known limitation? Looks likv TVHeadend is not correctly reporting the size? I am watching 1920x1080i content through hts-tvheaded (from the ppa). As result the play back is choppy on my box.

The same file when recorded and them played back as MKV works with VDPAU. Any ideas?

is cccam (capmt) working without problems for anyone? only 2.0.9 works for me, and even with that it eventually stops working. CCcam.log is full of gibberish when it stops working. The guy who added the capmt plugin seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth unfortunately.

its a known bug: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8615
I figured out the following theorie: streams usualy do not start with an i-frame and as these are the only frame types from which correct picture dimensions can be obtained. Imho for the playback of a stream all frames are beeing disarded until the first i-frame is found. So xbmc should discard any other frames for streams, than determine the pic size and than start the playback.

Cccam is still working for me but only the old 2.09 version
I'm looking at changing to newcs but looks harder to sort

Yes it does. At least the last version. You just manually have to enter the frequencies and do all the service/xmltv mapping by hand

- anguser - 2010-05-03

Hi,

i really like the combination of tvheadend and XBMC.
After using the htsp://... method i now changed to
pvr-testing2 to get a full epg.
This also works fine, but i have a problem sorting the channels.
When useing htsp:// the channellist is like i defined it in tvheadend.
But when im useing the liveTv module in pvr-testing2 all channels are sortet alphabetical.

Is there any chance to sort these channels correct?

greets anguser
