XBian/XBMC with PVR/TVHeadend experiences.

[dezi]

Hi,

i am running the lastest XBian with the PVR/TVHeadend module activated and the MPEG-2 codec license installed.

I have a second RaspberryPi, which run in headless mode as my TV-Server using tvhendend. I have a twin DVB-T usb stick from Haupauge installed. The server runs very smooth.

I also have an XBMC installation on my MacMini. I can watch Live TV and recorded streams via tvheadend without any problems.

When i try to use the very same tvheadend server with my RaspberryPi / XBian i experience problems:

- Some live streams are not displayed 16:9 but they appear as a square video with 1:1 pixel ratio i would guess.

- Live Playback does not work reliable. Either buffering, black screen or even hangups.

- Playback of recoded items suffers the same.

I have my recorded TV-Movies also available as a Samba source in the Video section of XBMC. I store my TV-Recordings in standad tvheadend Matroska format. If I play them directly via SMB, everything is fine.

I like to know, if other users have similar expierences or what has to be done to make it run as smooth as on my MacMini.

Cheers
