Setup is as follows:
- Intel NUC Haswell i3
- Sony playTV adaptor
- XBMCBuntu 14.04
- XBMC 13
- Aeon Nox 4.Gotham
- Shepherd for guide data
IR is through the built in NUC CIR receiver.
Shepherd was set up to output guide data to a temporary file. I used tv_grab_file to then output this data back into shepherd. Hooking up shepherd direct in TVHeadEnd doesn't seem to work correctly, it output a ambiguous error message about the XML ending abruptly.
XBMC is setup to use VAAPI for 1080i deinterlacing (set deinterlace to "auto" and deinterlace method to "auto"), scaler in settings->video is set to 20%.

I have an update update TVHeadEnd, trying to get your SBS channels to work correctly.

Also an update for Australians, using precanned guide data instead of Shepherd.

Hi! Thanks for this. I have just done the same.
ReplyDelete2 things I'm having issues with: SBS and EPG. EPG works fine with OTA, but I want to use Shepherd. Previously I had done a command such as:
cat /home/box/.shepherd/output.xmltv | nc -U /home/box/.hts/tvheadend/epggrab/xmltv.sock
For some reason, this is just hanging. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
I recommend using tv_grab_file (https://code.google.com/p/tv-grab-file/) and setting up tvheadend to use that as the grabber instead of using the socket grabber.
