Hey Gujs,
Any ETA, when can you fix the
Code:

HD decoding - xoox - 2010-05-28
Hello Gujs,
I made a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.4 and XBMC pvr-testing2 from your ppa on my Eeebox EB1501 today. Looks very good.
There's a problem with HD channels. When they are watched via Tvheadend, they aren't decoded with VDPAU. When I view an recorded mkv file, it gets decoded correctly with VDPAU.
I know there is/was a problem, because Tvheadend does not deliver the correct dimensions of the video and so XBMC doesn't know that it is HD. There was a dirty workaround, that corrects this behaviour. What's the state of this issue? Do you use your XBMC with HD?
- moontan77 - 2010-05-30
anyone know if its possible to get a plugin like eepg working with tvheadend to get the epg data?
http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Eepg-plugin
or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tvgrabeit/
also, where does xmltv need to save the files?
sudo tv_grab_uk_rt --configure --config-file /home/hts/.xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt.conf
this is how i have mine setup and have cache setup in the default location. When i run the xmltv the first i can set the epg no problem, but if i restart the pc i loose all the epg data (apart from now and next) until the xmltv grabber runs again.
anyone know what would cause this?
- Gujs - 2010-05-30
I think tvheadend doesn't store epg data. After every restart it has to run xmltv grabber first, to get EPG back. So the best way would be, that you configure your grabber, to store epg to local file, and then you can forward this file to tvheadend with tv_grab_file. You can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/tv-grab-file/
I know that this is addition work, but this way you can have EPG in tvheadend almost immediately.

I uploaded new version. In this version I added support for scheduling recordings from xbmc. Please test it. If something goes wrong paste logs on pastebin. After some testing I will submit a patch to ticket on xbmc trac.

Really ?? Great !!!
- Gujs - 2010-06-02
Yes, I am not joking.
I tested it over night and it works without any problems for me. I just need some test reports from people who are in different timezones, so that I can conclude that the code is OK.
- moontan77 - 2010-06-02
added a few timers they appeared ok on the web interface so thanks for the great work.
Was the force vdpau patch removed from your latest build? as my pc with your latest build isnt using vdpau for HD channels while it is for HD movies.
And another pc with an older build, is using vdpau for HD channels.
Support for mce remote would be cool:
http://www.oneweb.co.uk/mythtv/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/mce-remote.jpg
so that guide would bring up tv guide, recorded tv would bring up recorded tv etc
also probably more of an mkv/tvheadend thing, but seek does work in recorded videos.
- Gujs - 2010-06-02
I removed force vdpau patch becouse it didn't work good on my ION system. Does it work for you? If it is working, I can add it back in next build, because then I have something wrong on my system.
MCE remote is more lirc and xbmc remote configuration thing. I will not do this right now.
I also noticed a problem with seeking recorded shows. But I think this is tvheadend problem. It looks like its http server doesn't handle seeking very well. I tested this also with other players (vlc and mplayer) and it was the same.

which hack did you use? i found 2 possible hacks so far.
The first will always set the pixmap to 1920*1080 as far as i understand.

- Razor_109 - 2010-06-02
another problem i suffer from is the terrible deinterlacing capabilities.. with normal tv broadcasting i don't notice this that much.
But (especially with the upcomming Soccer Wold Cup) with sporting broadcasting for example soccer it's terrible to watch using the standard Deinterlacer from FFmpeg, but in my opinion the VDPAU deinterlacers are not that much better either.
Someone else figured some way to solve this issue? i guess it's quite a important one since to be a succesfull PVR-Frontend good deinterlacing is a must right?

Hello!
Thanks for a superior XBMC Build.
I have run Gujs build for a while now and everything is works great but i have one strange problem.
The epg time on XBMC is 1 hour wrong. when i go to tvheadend's webpage all the channel time is right, and the time on the server is also right (http://pixi.nu/temp_picture/2)
i have also verify that tvheadend and the tvguide on internet is right.
but in XBMC the time is wrong. does everyone else have this problem ??

Thanks, Gujs!
I have tried setting timers from the timeline GUI and from the list of channels and from the OSD record button. The result for me is that it fails randomly with a server error message. I cant find a cause-efect relation that can explain why fails too often.
I am in Spain. UTC+1 (UTC+2 in summer time (now)).
This is the log when the error occurs.
