Sidux VDR DVB-S2

Xine ffpmeg

We will use latest snapshoot for xine-lib xine-ui, and as we are building xine-lib with external ffmpeg we will use latest ffmpeg to:

x264

ffmpeg depent on x264 > 65 version, so we will install x264 from source

cd /usr/local/src
apt-get install yasm git-core
git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
cd x264
./configure --enable-shared
make
make install

ffmpeg

cd /usr/local/src/
apt-get update
apt-get remove libxine1 libxine1-bin libxine1-dbg
<--above command will remove xinelib installed with distribution-->
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gxine gxineplugin libxine1 libxine1-bin libxine1-console libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-misc-plugins libxine1-plugins
libxine1-x libxine1-xvdr

This will remove old xine1 library.

apt-get install autoconf libtool automake autoconf pkg-config gettext subversion
apt-get install liba52-0.7.4-dev libmp3lame-dev libvorbis-dev zlib1g-dev libpng12-dev libx11-dev libxv-dev libasound2-dev libogg-dev
apt-get install libxvidcore4-dev libtheora-dev libgsm1-dev libfaac-dev libfaad-dev

Before doing build-dep ffmpeg you need to edit sidux.list and debian.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and uncomment (remove #) in front of deb-src, and also for multimedia.list where you need to insert line:

deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ unstable main

1)

apt-get update
apt-get build-dep ffmpeg
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg_12.10.2008
cd ffmpeg_12.10.2008
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-postproc --enable-swscale --enable-avfilter --enable-avfilter-lavf --enable-gpl --enable-x11grab --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libgsm --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid  --extra-cflags="-mtune=native -march=native -O4 -pipe"
Note: --enable-liba52 should not be used anymore as ffmpeg now have native ac3 and eac3 decoders, the external library support is removied
make
make install
ldconfig

xine-lib

1. download xine-lib from Mercurial Repositories (xine-lib, gxine)

apt-get update
apt-get install autogen cvs libXext-dev libcdio-dev libvcdinfo-dev libpostproc-dev libpng12-dev libxt-dev
cd /usr/local/src/
hg clone http://hg.debian.org/hg/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.2 xine-lib-1.2_14.10.2008
cd xine-lib-1.2_14.10.2008

* Patching of xine-lib.1.2 isnt needed anymore as the source is updated and now contain the patch which was here posted before.

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --with-external-ffmpeg --disable-dxr3 
make 
make install 
ldconfig

xine-ui

apt-get update
apt-get install shared-mime-info 
cd /usr/local/src/
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@xine.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xine login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xine.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xine co -P xine-ui
mv xine-ui xine-ui_12.10.2008
cd xine-ui_12.10.2008
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-vdr-keys 
make

EnigmaNG (VDR skin)

"EnigmaNG" is a standalone skin for VDR based on the "Enigma" text2skin addon. URL: http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/enigmang/

cd /usr/local/src/vdr/PLUGINS/src
wget http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/enigmang/download/vdr-skinenigmang-0.0.6.tgz
tar -xivf vdr-skinenigmang-0.0.6.tgz
mv skinenigmang-0.0.6 skinenigmang
cd ../../
make plugins
make install

After make plugins and make install we need to download logos, channellogos and fonts in our plugins directory

mkdir -p /etc/vdr/plugins/skinenigmang
cd /etc/vdr/plugins
wget http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/enigmang/download/skinenigmang-logos-xpm-hi-20070702.tgz

PremiereEpg plugin

The plugin parses the extended EPG data which is send by Premiere on their portal channels (e.g. SPORT PORTAL). The EPG data is transmitted in a non-standard format on a non-standard PID. The resulting EPG events are feed into VDRs normale EPG database.

cd /usr/local/src/vdr/PLUGINS/src
wget http://www.muempf.de/down/vdr-premiereepg-0.0.8.tar.gz
tar -xzvf vdr-premiereepg-0.0.8.tar.gz

Edit runvdr script

For runvdr we will use runvdr-extreme script from http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/scripts.html#runvdr-extreme

cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/files/runvdr-extreme-0.4.0.tgz
tar -xvif runvdr-extreme-0.4.0.tgz
cd runvdr-extreme-0.4.0/
cp init.d.runvdr.Debian /etc/init.d/runvdr
chmod a+x /etc/init.d/runvdr
cp runvdr /usr/bin/runvdr
chmod a+x /usr/bin/runvdr
cp runvdr.conf.example /etc/runvdr.conf

Edit the /etc/runvdr.conf and /etc/init.d/runvdr to add your plugins/settings, set "/usr/bin/runvdr" as Path for the Deamon script.

1. runxine.desktop script ==

Login with normal user, go to your /home/USERNAME/Desktop (Change USERNAME with username you using) and make a new file:

nano /home/USERNAME/Desktop/runxine

And paste code belowe:

Code: remote.conf

[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=runxine Comment= Comment[de]= Exec=xine -V xv -A alsa -Dtvtime:method=use_vo_driver,cheap_mode=1,pulldown=none,use_progressive_frame_flag=1 -pqhf --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio --post upmix_mono "vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes" GenericName=dvb GenericName[de]=dvb Icon=video MimeType=video/mp4;video/mpeg;video/quicktime;video/x-flic;video/x-msvideo;video/x-ogm;video/x-theora; Name[de]=xine-vdr Path= ServiceTypes= StartupNotify=false Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-DCOP-ServiceType=none X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= GenericName[de_DE@euro]=dvb

Double click on that file and xine should be launched and you should see something. After first run of runxine script close it and edit config file /home/USERNAME/.xine/config

nano /home/USERNAME/.xine/config
And uncomment these line and change at the ende of line to match the line belowe.
