Does anyone know where this is happening now? I know the xbmc forum was down for a while, but this discussion never seemed to happen again afterwards.

Hello Rob,
Could you please specify in what kind of PVR discussion or what kind of information you are interested? I could point out a few threads to you but I'm confused about what you want and why you ask here and not on the XBMC forum?
The whole vdr-plugin-vnsiserver discussion is IMHO taking place at www.vdr-portal.de ATM.
Cheers, Henning

I used to use:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=45314&page=54
But it hasn't been updated for a while.
I have been using pvr-testing and pvr-testing2 for a while now, and try to keep up to date. However, I have two problems/questions which I want to either ask or flag to the developers but am unsure how to do it or even if it's a known issue?
One is, there is an epg issue with people in the -X to GMT timezone, where our listings don't appear for X-1 hours. (So me being in the Chicago timezone (6 hours behind London) At 7am, xbmc won't see any listings before 12pm... I hacked this in a previous version, but don't know whether this is a known issue which is being addressed? It happens with both vnsi and streamdev.
In vnsiserver, ac3 spdif sound seems all mixed up. ATSC here only uses AC-3, but 5.1 sound only plays with Left and Right front speakers, so I can't hear any dialogue. On my HD-PVR, I get no sound at all, xbmc sees an AC-3 stream, but the info page says 0 speakers? However, the audio settings while the stream is playing believes it to be a 5.1 audio track (which it is..)
vnsiserver seems much better with the hdpvr as it doesn't start and stop the stream three times like streamdev does.. (Big blue light flashes on the hd-pvr box when it's being used.)
Streamdev will not display output correctly from my pvr500 card using pvrinput. It works with vnsi and obviously vdr-sxfe..

I guess the best thing is to report these issues one by one on the XBMC bugtracker:
When you open new tickets, please use the prefix "pvr-testing:" when you report a bug regarding PVR stuff. Also choose the developer "alwinus" and the component "unified-pvr".
Additionally, if you also want more casual feedback on these reports from the German VDR community who is testing vnsiserver right now, please post links to your Trac tickets on http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/board.php?boardid=95. You can post there in English language, that's not a problem.
Cheers, Henning
also you can discuss with a devellopers on xbmc-pvr irc channel on freenode.net
the archive you can find here is http://xbmc.newsforyou.com/xbmc-pvr

Well, on the other hand, streamdev works with eac3 not vnsserver. In france HD TV use eac3 for audio.
Sreamdev works thus better than vnsiserver for me .

I suspect the issue we're having with vnsi is pretty much the same, audio passthrough is broken. If vnsi recognises the audio then it converts it to only two channels. In your case it doesn't so you probably get only a picture, which I get with my pvr-input based hdpvr. My other issue is only with the pvr-input plugin and streamdev. The analogue channels (which I use for cable channels through a set top box and a channel change script) gets scrambled when it arrives at xbmc. Ffmpeg doesn't recognise the codec. However that works with vnsi. My hdpvr basically does the same thing for HD channels. It converts them to an h264 channel with ac3 audio. With streamdev, it seems the input is opened three times before the stream is sent (Big blue light comes on and goes off three times) then 1 in 3 times 10 seconds later xbmc starts to show it. With vnsi, within 3 seconds the picture comes on the screen, but no audio.
vdr-sxfe, the audio goes out of sync within about 10 mins with vdpau and the hd-pvr..

Yes I have video only, but because it doesn't handle well the audio, it probably consumme a hell of CPU and the HD video stream skips and has macro blockand then finally freeze. I had the same behavior with streamdev before applying a one line patch for eac3.
My other issue is only with the pvr-input plugin and streamdev. The analogue channels (which I use for cable channels through a set top box and a channel change script) gets scrambled when it arrives at xbmc.
I use analog audio out when running directly on the hdpc (hdmi passthrough to be precise) eac3-> pcm stereo (xbmc) -> analog audio
However, I use a heavilly patched vdr 1.7.14 (for eac3 one single line but a lot of other things for packaged by vdr package maintainer) and streamdev (one single line for eac3 plus a lot of patches packaged by package maintainer).

I have patched vnsi to get two ATSC and HD-PVR specific problems ironed out.
