Hello everybody
I´m actually starting porting of the linux software “tvheadend“ to work on Android.
My first step was to show the "Sources" and show how to get all of them compatible with "Android".
Here the "official Sources": https://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/projects/tvheadend
My Idea was to Port these Part of Multimedia to get Android Devices with XBMC and external Hardware like USB Devices to a fully working MultiMedia Device with Live TV Support.
## Info: ## Device should be Dualcore or higher and with minimal 1024Mb Ram i think ###
## Edit:1 ##
Source Code should be compiled with "Android Kernel" but need add DVB-Modules.
## Edit: 2##
tvheadend is using FFdecsa to "decode" Streams. But these Part doesn´t seems to work with "Android Platforms"
Info: We have to use (test) libdvbcsa instead from FFdecsa : http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvbcsa.html
Need support from Android Device and Kernel Hacker to get them fully working !
Also thinking about programming Android App to get different Settings controllable.
http://www.pearl.de/a-ZX1007-1600.shtml seems to be the perfect plattform.

I managed to port tvheadend to android using xbmc's toolchain and dependancies... It works for IPTV, epg parsing. It should work with DVB if kernel modules are included (not tested).
You can get the source here: github.com/innbox/tvheadend/tree/tvheadend-android
I'll publish an XBMC addon to run tvheadend as a service within XBMC tomorrow...
@Microhard
Could you please explain in a bit more detail how to compile
I cross compiled dvb modules (at least I believe so) , but cannot compile tvheadend. I've read your readme to configure, but probably I am doing something wrong.
I am trying to do all this under ubuntu 12.10 with NDK and then further use at imito mx1.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi...
We ported tvheadend to android so that we could use it with xbmc pvr. And this is why the configure script is meant to be run against a default XBMC android toolchain (with staging inside the toolchain). And it should be run as an addon inside xbmc so that it can use XBMC's shared libraries (which are exported in the start script).
I precompiled tvheadend for android (with imagecache disabled so that it can be run without xbmc's shared libraries)... you can get it here:

@Mikrohard
Many thanks, I will try, but how should I cross-compile myself? Could you please help

Nice to see that other got it working.
I stopped after my post because has got another big project from my company, but now i´m back ...
Could you post your script to get them compile ?
Do you integrated libdvbcsa instead from FFdecsa because Tegra (2 /3) need them ?
About adding DVB Modules it´s easy ... only specific DVB Devices need firmware too.
Do you check about RAM usage ? if you use hd streams like dvb-s2 hd it would be very large !!! I check them by my raspberry PI installation.
hi'
thers is a new stb using xbmc + dual tuner I bought one and im starting some tests. Linux version???
Linux elmo 2.6.34 #1 SMP Mon Jul 15 17:10:07 KST 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux
Im trying to install tvheadend backend on it but it seems very hard to compile at this time since i dont have gcc
do you think I start the process of installing some toolchains to have gcc and install needed dependencies or it will not work on this unknown linux version?
Hi all,
Any news here? I bought a dualcore dvb-s2 box,running Android 4.2.
It would be very nice if i could install a pvr backend and use XBMC for liveTV.
I was searching around the web, but it seems You are the only guys who are working on a Tv backend for android.

There is already a great working system. Install a linux PVR running VDR and stream to every device on your network in any format you wish. Use AndroVDR on your Android device to set timers, watch live tv or recordings etc.

Jhinta - I didn't miss the point. I was simply stating that there is a better system available and pointed to it.
I don't give a shiney ****e what you prefer, which is just bragging, I care for quality programming.
And before you go crying again, VDR is capable of streaming over the internet. You just mustn't be able to figure that out!

i didnt say you cant stream with vdr ( i say you cant stream on a hollyday away from home onless you want to pay and even hope the speed is oke )
Also you care about quality programming , but losing more then 60% of your image is oke ? becuase your upload is only lets say 2mbit .
So your watching tv in you bungalow ( sweety i cant internet at home why ?(or around your bungalow)
no lag,lower time dif, better qualty every where in the world, wont cost you anything or maby 500KB a hour sort of .
Well its like what you have said , you like Q,programiing , i like all those thing above , and every one its one choice.

This post proves that you nothing about VDR. Absolutely nothing!
I can stream live and recorded tv at ANY quality of my choosing to anywhere in the world and it costs nothing!
VDR is considered the best media centre for the home on linux. Your windows apps are a total fail in comparison.
Go do some research before you get laughed at here

you didnt even answered in your two post , you didnt even answered about the isseu i iḿ talking about
the only thing you do tell , is dat vdr is great and it can stream , en thats it.
well then i have a question voor you .
your living in france,paris , and your vdr is working great you can stream en all sort of things.
But now ,,,( yo dude come over ) -> amsterdam,hotel
tell me how will you stream for free?
mobile?
hotel wifi ?
sat internet?
m,c, Donalds ? <-- hey its free , but the speed
All this and even inorging that you are
using your own internet , so at the house speed is droping
you cant even use the notebook or desktop because cpu is in use ,( or you have gpu acceleration but then again nice gaming) or you have a synology
you network at home is dropping so if i'm home and my wife is looking tv some where my qualty is dropping because of this or even lagging
and so on ( and again , vdr is nice its works , streaming also got but if you can do it native why wold you want to stream it beats me )
this you have to answer , if you will:good:
and No you cant stream with any quality because you have a upload limit ( onless you have a isp for 200 euro a month that hase a upload of 10MB/s ) <- oww ya you have that
so try streaming remotely a full hd 1080p [email protected] x264 mkv good luck ( let me gess , of corse i can , rencode to some lame 1000kbs remotly sure you can +60 % lost !!!!!!!! nice)
i even have that on my plex big deal-> quality sucks on a 1080p tv remotely its a fact !
i think , that when even vdr is ported to android you still be saying , oww no i have vdr at home works better then a nativ directly on the system.
You are a complete moron and a threat to the survival of the human race.
Don't reply again, I warned you how much of a fool you were making of yourself.

Displaylink released the open source drivers for linux a while ago, for the people who dont know what display link is, its outputting video via a usb port using a special chip in certain monitors. almost any device that runs linux and has usb in theory do it, http://twitter.com/libdlo had this on a tweet: @s31n6 Definitely possible to port libdlo and/or to displaylink-mod to android. Perhaps contribute a development platform to a developer...
The only thing is, the current Linux drivers don't support compression, obviously the company doesn't want the propriety algorithm that the windows and osx closed source drivers contain being leaked..
If a Linux based router can be have display outputted surely an Android phone can!!!

I think your missing the point slightly, the video is outputted as a data stream and you dont need a video out chip to do so other wise how would the get a display output on a netgear router!
anything that runs linux and has a usb port can output video using the display link drivers and a compatible monitor!!

Netflix plays on silverlight.
There is a linux silverlight project called moonlight.
Android is Linux.
My searching has found 0 tutorials on how to get all of that together so I can stream netflix movies onto my captivate.
I did see the article about netflix saying in 2011 that there will be a netflix branded app on some devices but it doesnt list devices so not even sure if that would help.
Moonlight doesn't work with Netflix even on Ubuntu or Fedora, or any other Linux build. On normal Linux, even when switching the UA string to one that identifies as Windows, it still isn't compatible. To watch Netflix on Linux you have to create a VM with Windows and use Silverlight there.
It is a nice idea though. I hear Netflix is coming out with an Android client here soon. They maybe waiting on Gingerbread or Honeycomb.
So I guess the question here is this: What would it take to get virtualbox ported to android??

More RAM in our devices.
Two things to add
1. Oracle needs to stop suing Google (VirtualBox was Sun and now Oracle) for VirtualBox to be even remotely ported to something like Android.
2. Android to stop fragmenting so badly that companies like Netflix has to write specific versions of the app for the platform (refer to Angry Birds dev about the topic if you are curious).
Thanks guys - good information...
If Netflix comes out for a phone such as the droid incredible but not for the captivate because the droid has a "DRM" path or something.
Will it be easy for people to "steal" the app so we can get it to work on captivate? Or is it hard to do stuff like that?

No doubt, that's one MAJOR factor thats held back Netflix for soo long on Android... DRM. With Android being as open as it is, Netflix's content providers won't allow it without some kind of strong DRM. It would probably be as easy to "barrow" as Blockbuster from a VZW Android phone.
VirtualBox won't run Windows on a phone. Not enough memory, and CPU emulation from ARM to x86 is crazy slow on something like a phone CPU, no matter if it's 1GHz or 1.28GHz like mine. The UI for an emulated XP, for example, would be like a seriously laggy powerpoint presentation.
We're best off not even thinking about it until an official client is announced.

That's not an issue. EVERY Android phone is capable of displaying streaming video. Even the 528MHz MSM7200 based phones can handle streams of up to 1500Kb/s.
Even if the phone is capable of streaming video, Androids fragmentation is getting in the way of the streaming software. For example, the android ustream app does not work on the Galaxy S.

Again, that has nothing to do with fragmentation. That app is in Beta, so bugs on different builds of Android are 100% expected.
Hi every wonderfull android devs !!
I'm a proud owner of the wonderfull (again) TF101, but i guess something usefull is missing in android mobility solution : i named : USB/PCI driver and player for TNT DVB-T TV Tuners under android
As now tablets and even phone have USB plugs and enough power to make it, maybe they can support those little USB TV tuner dongles.
As reference under windows i'm using pouchin TV which is a lite and fluid player for TNT TV (DVB-T - H264 codecs etc ...) but i know there are many more like this one and maybe some which could be better... BUT my guess is for android !! i fall in love with it, its not perfect but it tend to be a light and easy to use (and in same time powerfull and completly controlable and customizable).
(But if i can make a parenthesis i would say that android fully interface with windows and that's great but only few apps can fill the connectivity gap between androtablets and androphones (like pdanet for instance). So please think about functionnality between 2 android device in your apps devs
parenthesis closed . )
So what about my suggestion about a new kind of app for android : i mean TNT TV support (for mobility reasons) through mini antennas or wall antenna plugs?..
First : is it possible? (i guess most linux distro already did it)
second : will it be done one day? does some brave guys/grils with gold software coding hands would be brave enough to make it !?
Please respond to my hope!!!
Thank a lot for all the work already done and for the one that will be ! (in any topics )

Hi
First thanks for replies.
So if i have well read, froyo include the good drivers for usb tuners, but the transformer is under honeycomb (but that shouldn't be a trouble, as i guess that drivers would be included to it also) and the main trouble would be to adapt this app to the transformer (hardware point of view), it's just à guess as I'm just a Mc guyver with c code... And at least working on a rooted stock Rom..
Am i right?

In the Play store, there is also a driver for this "RTL2832U" based DVB-T sticks Intended for a SDR App.
I can receive flight transponder data live from airplanes with a app, but there is no universal DVB-T tv app ?
Only "DVB-T for Android" etc., for ELECOM Micro-USB etc. DVB-T-Tuners.

want to use DVB-T usb with tf101 device. someone know somehting about drivers? thank you
+1
will like to know too
there might be a tiny tiny possibility - but there are several things that would need to be done:
1. You need a rooted transformer
2. A kernel-dev would have to include the drivers for your TV-card in their kernel
3. You would need to flash that kernel
4. Someone would have to write an app that can handle TV-cards
But all this is pure theoretical
there is app for watching dvb on android http://code.google.com/p/archos-gen8-dvb/source/browse/#svn/trunk/sources/LiveTV can be imho run on transformer with usable kernel modules for your dvb cards untested because nonrootable tf :/
I'm no developer, but as far as I know the link you posted was made for a froyo based tablet.
Perhaps this won't work on Honeycomb ... but maybe there's a developer out there to "update" this app and make DVB-T available on the transformer.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
I'd be happy with an app that could either act as a frontend for MythTV or Windows MC, or that could use a Silicondust HDHomeRun network ATSC/ClearQAM tuner.
I haven't been able to get a MythTV backend running on my netbox PC, but I might be able to run ubuntu or something in a virtualbox VM if need be to get MythTV working. I don't know much about MythTV... whether it uses UPnP or DLNA or some other server type to make videos available. I figured that you'd need a client that 'understands' MythTV's setup in order for it to work as a frontend, and I can't seem to find an Android app that claims to support it.
My solution is complicated but works fine.
I have a tuner (an old hauppauge usb stick) installed on my home server. I then use dvblink (can't recall url - poss dvblogic.com) to share the tuner across my network and its detected as a local tuner by wmc (you dont have to do this, its just my setup). It costs maybe £20 or similar.
The important bit is that Dvblink also acts as a dlna server, and comes with an android app that will allow you to watch the signal on your transformer (i prefer swifta to the app myself). Will work for any tuner really, not just dvb-t.
In theory, you could also connect to the dlna server via the web, but i never have.

1. Install the xbmcapp-armeabi-MX-v7a-neon-27.11.2012 XBMC
2. Locate the following folder: Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata and copy the Playercorefactory.xml file to this folder ( i did this with my computer i put the SD card in my computer and put the playercorfactory.xml file in the directory stated very easy to do and it works great.)

That sounds very interesting! Please let me know how that turns out. Does it boot to text console or xwindows?
Is it based on a distro(Debian,Ubuntu,etc) or is it a custom buildroot image?
This sounds pretty cool I have a Roku box that I stream video off the web. I works great but if an android style player were to come out and be stable I might be pursuaded to switch. Also just letting you know that XBMC does have some pretty buggy plugins for it e.g. Hulu doesn't work for all videos in it. I know this from using it on my computer before I got my Roku. If a new interest was sparked these issues could disappear with official plugins from the video providers themselves.

This Jynxbox Android HD firmware has bugs in it that keep me from replacing my old Xbox with it full time. Its more a toy at the moment for me. Source codes would make it easier to track down and fix problems in it. (Anyone have em?)
That Linux image posted above is looking interesting. The boot splash says "XIOS DS media center" and it boots straight into XBMC for linux. (12.0-rc3 git:20130103-2318127) the jynxbox wireless internet works with this image, and the wireless remote works once you enable mouse support. USB keyboards work as well.
It connects to my samba server and plays all the videos I could try. (The jynxbox xbmc could not access my samba server and updated xbmc apks couldn't play my video files) so far its looking great.
Thanks phati for the heads up on that image. Where did you find it? Is there a public forum related to its development?
hey guys,
the description of the product (http://jynxbox.me/Product.aspx) says it has adobe flash 10.x on board.
will this allow me to stream all kind of content which is displayed in a flash player within the android browser?
www.my-entertainment.biz (hd free streams) e.g.? would somebody be so kind to test that. would be awesome!
thanks so far!

Edit:// Is this thing shipped from China? How long did it take til you get yours guys?
I received mine sent to me from a great guy named Cody who operates http://www.boxtoptheater.com. It was shipped to me from Canada and arrived in roughly a week after stock was replenished. So far I absolutely love the device and hope that custom roms might find their way to it, besides simple updates to XBMC that it operates for the media center aspects. Since the box comes pre-rooted, it should not be too problematic I imagine. Sounds to me that several set top units use the same board chip also. Everything seems to run well except games that only run in portrait mode for obvious reasons.
Once I receive my portable hard drive for it, and have the dvr functionality running, I'll post some videos on line for others.

When you run upgrade->local update, it will not list below files on Jynxbox Android HD box automatically, please press menu button on remote controls 8 times for it to show up.
I haven't tested it on the mini yet. But I assume it will works because both devices are the same build.
