    [Tutorial] [PC-LINUX] XBMC VDR + + OSCAM Ubuntu

    All Credit To Davy, Translated With Google.
    Hello to you always-s,
    The purpose of this tutorial is to detail all the steps for using OSAM and VDR to watch TV with the familiar Media Center XBMC.
    We will use the addon / plugin PVR xvdr to establish communication between XBMC and VDR and the plugin / protocol DVBAPI as a link between VDR and OSCAM.
    PPPs are not always stable over time and not always compatible with all versions of Ubuntu or VDR, we will describe here how to install the various plugins / addons by compiling them. Do not worry, it does not hurt.


    We'll start by installing a set of packages that may be useful in the life of the compiler that we are aspiring


    Code
    sudo aptitude install subversion git-core patchutils build-essential openssl  libssl-dev gcc g++ pcscd pcsc-tools libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev cmake make libpthread-stubs0 libpthread-stubs0-dev libncurses5 libncurses5-dev wget bzip2 git-core patchutils libproc-processtable-perl libtool mercurial



    XBMC :


    I suggest you install the PVR proposed by pulse-eight well because it follows the evolution of XBMC while very stable:
    To do this, execute the following script:


    Code
    wget http://packages.pulse-eight.net/ubuntu/install-xbmc.sh
    chmod a+x install-xbmc.sh
    ./install-xbmc.sh



    The media center is then available in your applications. You can then configure it to your liking (skin, language, Media Library ...).


    XBMC-ADDON-XVDR :


    We will now install the addon that will link vdr:


    Code
    git clone https://github.com/pipelka/xbmc-addon-xvdr.git
    cd xbmc-addon-xvdr
    sh autogen.sh
    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/.xbmc
    make
    make install
    cd ..
    sudo rm -R xbmc-addon-xvdr



    VDR :


    Installing vdr can be done from native deposits of Ubuntu, or you may also want to use a newer version of ppa via yavdr.
    - If you are under or Natty Lucid and want to use version 1.7.22 VDR


    Code
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yavdr/stable-vdr
    sudo apt-get update


    - If you're on and Natty Precise and Lucid or want to use version 1.7.27:


    Code
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yavdr/testing-vdr
    sudo apt-get update


    In all cases, you end up installing vdr sources and that we can then compile the plugin:


    Code
    sudo apt-get install vdr vdr-dev


    Therefore, you must configure VDR as it's so easy ... by editing the various files in the / var / lib / vdr /


    VDR-PLUGIN-XVDR :


    We will now install the VDR plugin that communicates with XBMC


    Code
    git clone https://github.com/pipelka/vdr-plugin-xvdr.git
    cd vdr-plugin-xvdr
    gedit Makefile


    We modify the following settings in the file:


    Code
    DVBDIR = /usr
    VDRDIR = /usr/include/vdr
    LIBDIR = /usr/lib/vdr/plugins


    Then compile and install the plugin:


    Code
    sudo make
    cd ..
    sudo rm -R vdr-plugin-xvdr


    You can now (VDR restart and activate the VDR addon X in XBMC to view channels in clear.


    OSCAM :


    We will now install OSCAM to communicate with our membership card to a satellite package paid so much ... We'll have to patch the stable version of OSCAM for it to be able to communicate with VDR.



    Then set OSCAM as you know so well done by editing the files in / usr / local / etc /
    Create the following section in the file oscam.conf to allow communication with VDR:


    Code
    [dvbapi]
    ennabled = 1
    au = 1
    user = vdr
    boxtype = pc
    pmt_mode = 1




    VDR-PLUGIN-DVBAPI :


    You end up installing the plugin allowing to connect to VDR DVBAPI of Oscam:


    Code
    git clone https://github.com/manio/vdr-plugin-dvbapi.git
    cd vdr-plugin-dvbapi
    sudo gedit Makefile


    Edit the Makefile with the following values:


    Code
    VDRDIR = /usr/include/vdr
    LIBDIR = /usr/lib/vdr/plugins


    Compile and install:


    Code
    sudo make
    cd..
    rm -R vdr-plugin-dvbapi


    That's it, once VDR OSCAM properly configured you can enjoy your scrambled pay for XBMC!

  • I want to install vnsi server on my machine with oscam and nest connect it with oscam to have possibility connect my 2 htpc with them. Is my idea possible?

  • hi masterG ,


    i am looking into conveting one of my old towers , what version of ubunto would this suit , i have debian8 jessie on my HTPC laptop
