Hi Guys!

I'm new here..

Uhm..i have 3 Questions...I'm changing my HTPC from MediaPortal to XBMC, cause XBMC looks better than MP and it's faster..

I used the search function, but my english isn't so good to read each post on each thread in the search results

Question #1:
I'm using a Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus TV Card..There is a Remote included...How can i use XBMC with this IR Remote??

Question #2:
I've already said, that i'm using a Nova-S-Plus TV Card...Is there a way to watch to the tv channels, just like in MediaPortal??

Question #3:
Is there a plugin to seperate my tv-series? in mediaportal, there is a plugin, where you can store your tv-series within a sql-db with all neccessary info's about it!

Thx and greetz,
infernalshade

Also I have a Xbox360 Controller...if ther is no way to get the Hauppauge Remote to work..is there a way to use the xbox controller??

ps: where is the edit function?

You can use your remote if that remote can translate IR signals into keystrokes.

You can not use your TV card to watch TV in XBMC.

XBMC has it's own built in library system that will scan and add TV series by title, season and episode.

There is no need for a plugin for TV Series, XBMC have built-in support for it, just set content and scan into library with TheTVDB.com scraper.

Look at IR Server Suite (or EventGhost) for the remote, search.

XBMC can use TV tuners though MythTV back-end, see:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=2297
and partially via MediaPortal:

We are working on on better support for the future:

Please do a search about the Xbox 360 Controller, yes it is possible and many other have asked and answered before you.

I use my hauppauge remote with xbmc for PC with no problems. I just had to do a little mapping in the irremote.ini file and add an [XBMC] entry.
If you want I can post the relevant sections.

[infernalshade]

Yes i know this iremote.ini! I've already placed controls for winamp there...
Uhm..Is there a list with all availible key-mappings of XBMC?!

@matt_cyr: Yes, please post your mappings, thx!

@all: i'll try to watch tv

but i don't understand "There is no need for a plugin for TV Series, XBMC have built-in support for it, just set content and scan into library with TheTVDB.com scraper." ... Where can i set the content and scan?! can i set parsing expressions?!

It is all in the XBMC Online Manual. The default settings are designed to work for most people out-of-the-box with most standard naming conventions, however if you are one of the few who do not use a standard naming convention then yes, you can manually edit the parsing expressions, again it is all in the XBMC Online Manual.

[infernalshade]

Thx! i'll ckeck it out

[infernalshade]

where can i add my own expressions?! i don't know a lot about regexp...in mediaportal i've used "simple" expressions instead of regexp...the simple expression looks like this:
<series>\<season>-<episode>-<title>.<ext>

sorry for so much questions...but i cant find anything about this expressions...nothing useful!

[matt_cyr]

I'll post the irremote.ini changes when i get home.

[Gamester17]

advancedsettings.xml (you need to create the file yourself as it does not exist by default because not needed by the majority of users)

Again, it is in the XBMC Online Manual. Maybe you could start by explaining your file structure and how your files are named exactly.

re: tvshow regexps... look here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=AdvancedSett...atching.3E

if you need more help, post examples of your naming convention.

My TV-Series-File-Structure looks like this:

All TV-Series are stored in:
S:/TV-Series/

In this folder the File Structure is:
*TV-Series Name*/*season*-*episode*-*title*.*extension*

here a example:
(S:/TV-Series/)The Simpsons/03-12-Title.avi

This is the regexp i've tried:
<tvshowmatching>
<regexp>\[([0-9]+)\]-\[([0-9]+)\]-</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>

but it isn't working...

[infernalshade]

If i use this site: http://txt2re.com/index-php.php3

it comes out:
((?:[a-z][a-z]+))(\\\\)(\\d+)(-)(\\d+)(-)((?:[a-z][a-z]+))(\\.)((?:[a-z][a-z]+))
Link: http://txt2re.com/index-php.php3?s=Futur...36&5&-37&8

is this right?!

[matt_cyr]

Here are the changes I made to my irremote.ini file
Under [Applications] add:
XBMC=

Then add a section for XBMC near the bottom with:

[XBMC]
0=0
1=1
2=2
3=3
4=4
5=5
6=6
7=7
8=8
9=9
NAVDOWN={DOWN}
NAVUP={UP}
NAVRIGHT={right}
NAVLEFT={left}
CHNLUP={pgup}
CHNLDOWN={pgdn}
CHNLPREV={ctrl}W
VOLUP=+
VOLDOWN=-
YELLOW={ctrl}Y
GO={f11}
OK={enter}
RED={ctrl}R
GREEN={ctrl}G
FASTFWD=f
FULLSCREEN={alt}{enter}
REWIND=r
BACK={backspace}
SKIPFWD=.
MENU={home}
PLAY=p
SKIPREV=,
PAUSE={space}
STOP=x
BLUE=t
REC={esc}
FUNC={ctrl}O
GUIDE=Z
TVNEW={f2}
VIDEOS={f3}
MUSIC={f4}
PICTURES={f5}
RADIO={f6}
POWER={f12}
TEXT={ctrl}O

You may need to alter some of the buttons since mine are mapped to my harmony remote, but that should get most of the buttons working for you.

Let me know if it works for you.
