Which is lucky because the tuner doesn’t work with the r12017 image. I watched a couple of hours of old videos whilst testing the MPEG codec yesterday and didn’t have any issues with CEC causing instability. Googling lead me to your excellent articles. I spent an hour trying to get Raspbmc to work with the tuner before learning about the problems with IT9315 v2 based devices. I was in too much of a rush to play with it all. My Rpi arrived mid-week and the USB tuner arrived about a month ago.

I’ve managed to make it work through compilation and make install but we want the more friendly possible, right? □ P.S.: I’ve tried to do with Raspbmc but installing Tvheadend as XBMC plug-in isn’t working atm. You’ll be guide to install one PVR client, choose Tvheadend client. Now go to the main menu and select Live TV. On RPi go to System -> Settings -> Live TV and select Enabled. Go to Services and introduce manually channel’s name and click on Save Changes. Select your DVB USB Device and go to Multiplexes.Ĭlick on “Add mux(es) manually…” and add your DVB frequency (mine’s DVB-T is 754000KHZ). (Home folder -> Downloads).Īfter Raspberry Pi rebooted go to your PC browser and enter Go to Configuration -> TV Adapters. Now on OpenELEC go to System -> Settings -> Add-ons -> Install from zip fileĪnd select the file at Downloads folder. Now copy Tvheadend file (.zip) given before. Go to your PC and mount Downloads network share of OpenELEC. Unmount SDCard, put it on the Raspberry Pi and turn it on. If you’ve Windows just follow this guide.

Where device is the SDCard path, like disk2 on Mac OS X or sdb on Linux. $ sudo dd if=r13118.img of=/dev/ device bs=1M If you’ve Linux or Mac OS X you just have to: If not, or you don’t wanna waste any time, i’ve a precompiled version ready for you.ĭownload here my OpenELEC RPi PVR image and here for my xbmc-tvheadend-backend-plugin.
If you’ve followed my previous post, you just have to update your local git and compile it. Here it’s how and what you need to have it working (you need to have network connectivity). Recently PVR and RPi sub-projects were merged into XBMC master branch, thanks to Lars Op den Kamp and Edgar Huceke and many others.

Over the weekend I recorded a video testing some of the formats which I have embedded.As many said, my previous post about OpenELEC RPi PVR wasn’t a real PVR support but DVB drivers and kernel support. I will be bringing my Raspberry Pi to our user group in September if you want to have a go with it in person. If you want to watch DVD files all you need is the MPEG-2 decoder. So if you want to use a Raspberry Pi to watch Windows Media Center recordings you will need the MPEG-2 decoder but unless you want to watch WMV files you don’t need the VC-1 option. * BBC One HD recordings would load but not play correctly, Channel 4 HD worked fine. I tested the formats one at a time with a combination decoder licences installed, here are my results: I also tested WMV (Windows Media Video) files and a un-encrypted DVD file. I used the latest version of Raspbmc and the recordings were taken from a Windows 7 machine with DVB-T2 card. I copied a few files from my Media Center system to an external hard drive (to I could rule out any network issues). So what do you get when your purchase the MPEG-2 decoder and what does the VC-1 decoder do?

You must do this for each image you have built for the Raspberry Pi and the code is linked to the serial number of your Raspberry Pi. You open the file and add the lines to the file. The codes that the Raspberry Pi foundation email must be added to a file called config.txt which is located on the boot partition of the Pi’s SD card. The MPEG-2 option costs £2.40 and the VC-1 codec costs £1.20, you buy the options from the Raspberry Pi store and then they mail you the codes. Last week the Raspberry Pi foundation announced you could purchase MPEG-2 and VC-1 decoders for the Raspberry Pi.
