XBMC4Xbox

When using XBMC on OS X or a Raspberry Pi, you can choose to have "Live TV" as an option in XBMC´s starting screen.
I´d like to ask, if it would be possible to implement this option in XBMC4XBOX, too.

On OS X and Raspbmc, I used this manual: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR/Backend/VUPlus and it works perfect for me.

I´m using a Dreambox 7020HD as a server for Live TV and my XBOX can already receive streaming-live-TV, but not as a part of XBMC´s menu like in OS X or on Raspbmc (EPG-Data, Timers, cool looking channellist .....).

Thanks for all answers and help and sorry for my poor english.

This would be pretty cool in xbmc4xbox, but if it does get added then it would have to be easier to set up than the pi, maybe its just me not used to mainline xbmc but its difficult to set up live tv

this sounds cool.

i would also like to see this option. i currently use tvcatchup but alot of channels have been removed as they they to secure their broadcasting license, so not im stuck with vettle and trying to currently find either film on or notfilmon. Are there other tv plugins out there

i also had a dbo2 (similar to dreambox but cable based) also have the standard dreambo which was well worth it. channel lists can be reedited to suit the user, it works perfectly on the bo and its cheap

Out of interest how do you receive your dreambox feed on your xbox?

I just followed the steps as shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVwVXH0gW-Y

After that, I increased all caches to their limits and everything now works excellently. I´m streaming from a Dreambox 7020HD cable-based via Powerline-Adapters from TP-Link. Router is a Fritzbox 7330. Hope, that this will help you setup your own Live-TV.

Got this working with my technomate - this old box never ceases to amaze me.

I do the same thing with a octagon sf1018 also same as a rebranded atemio 7000hd or fortis f9000.
any enigma based decoder should be able to stream to an xbox with the correct image or plugin setup.

Hi, is there any plugin to connect mediaportal to XBMC4XBOX or any news about PVR in our xbox?

I think you´re in the wrong thread. This is a thread about enabling the LIVE-TV-OPTION in XBMC4XBOX, not mediaportal.

i think we should have a vote and see if we can get the big guys to give us live tv on xbmc4xbox, im not sure how this would be done but i hope we get lucky.

Don´t know if it is technically possible, but this would be another killer-feature for the good old XBOX. I agree, we should definitely have a vote.

Any developer out there, who could give a short statement on implementing LIVE-TV-Option on the XBOX?

If you have a MythTV Server, it is possible to watch live streams using a source set up as a MythTV client. This is built into XBMC4XBOX natively, I have tested and had it working in the past. BuZz has a thread out there asking for people to test it.

I don´t have a MythTV Server, I have got a Satellite receiver called Dreambox 7020HD. Following these instructions : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVwVXH0gW-Y , you can watch LIVE TV, but just as a video source. All the other conveniences (PVR programming, ingenious EPG, full integration as a menu point next to videos, programmes, music and weather) are not yet implemented. So my only intention and question is, if this option would be possible on an XBOX with XBMC4XBOX like in Raspbmc for Raspberry Pi, OS X... I don´t know the Microsoft Windows version, but I´m sure, this thing surely works there, too.

Maybe a developer could post a comment on this. Thank you in advance.

Yeah, you seem to want the whole new XBMC Live TV / PVR / DRV integration, not just the stream playback.

Probably not going to happen any time soon, although feel free to log a ticket following the discussion here for Buzz to see.

A python script could be written for any setup that provides remote APIs/etc

It could read out EPG or manage the recording schedules. Add the recordings directory to video sources and it would be simple enough. This would have to be implemented at many levels for real integration to happen.

As a script it could be easy enough to create a sub-interface for dealing with different backends.
