Comment on Using the Raspberry Pi as a PVR client with Raspbmc by Dangelus

Jonas, I haven’t tried the latest or final build of Raspbmc but I would assume that it wouldn’t be any different unless something has broken compatibility. Are you able to get all the channel and epg information? Do you have the mpeg2 codec installed? Have you given the plugin your login information to the windows machine running the MediaPortal TV server? Sorry I can’t be more help at the moment but I suggest checking out both the XBMC and Raspbmc forums which have a lot of useful configuration tips.

Hi! I just tried this today and really cant get it to work with the latest build of raspbmc and Mediaportal 1.2.3. I kinda got it to work twice but 99 out 100 times I choose a channel Raspbmc just reboots and I get the “relax, XBMC will restart shortly” announcement. Are your configuration working as of the latest build and am I’m just doing something wrong? It works perfect from any laptop etc.

I was having the same issue and after hours of searching and being told it “couldn’t be done”, I came across your site. Thanks for posting the workaround.

No problem. Yes the PVR build runs really well. In fact I switched to the PVR build on my x86 machines after testing this out.

Now that I’ve got my pi and raspbmc stable and running, I think it’s time to switch over to the PVR build. Thanks for the info.

Comment on Netflix in the UK, a PC user’s perspective by Dangelus

It’s not fantastic but it’s useable. Unfortunately Netflix have made recent changes that break the XBMC plugin slightly. You no longer have access to the queue or genre lists and search. A quick hack was put up and I managed to get search back but I think it’s days may be numbered unfortunately.

I agree – it works great on the apple tv and ps3, but on a media center computer … it doesn’t!

The drivers are in the Windows Update Catalog. I think I followed these instructions to get it working:
