Is there an HDHomeRun app by Syabas in the works?

[NodNarb012]

I'm hoping that someone from Syabas can chime in on this to provide some insight.

I found this thread on the SiliconDust forum which claims that "Popcorn Hour" expressed an interest in adding HDHomeRun support to their product.

Is there an HDHomeRun app in the works for the Apps Market?

I'd love to see something like this happen, especially if it was able to support the new PRIME model. I don't even care about DVR functionality, just being able to control my HDHR and stream live TV from it would make me happy.

I have a hdhomerun as well.

an app would be cool.

I too would like an HD Homerun AP.

Step by step, every popcorn newness.....

IIRC theres a csi app for the 100 series for it.. I don't recall if anyone ported it for the 200 series

I don't think anyone has ported it to the 200 series players. I wanted to do it, but I realized that I don't know the first thing about cross-compiling. Also, I've never seen the app that was written for the 100 series, so I don't know if it's what I'm looking for. From what I've read, it was geared more towards using the NMT as a DVR. I just want to watch live streams and change the channel.

I'm such an amateur compiler, so my attempts so far to get a proper cross-compiler for the 200 series hasn't worked out yet. However the native compiling environment was pretty straight forward, even for someone like me

You can use the CSI to install the ipkg and telnet package, if you haven't already. Then telnet to the NMT and do
# ipgk update
# ipkg install gcc

Not sure, but perhaps you need to install some additional packages like `make'.

Source the env variables (PATH, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc) and you should be good to go for compiling the hdhomerun lib!

I could give it a try if you point me to the source, but then again, I have no idea what this lib/app then does, if there are other dependencies or things like how to invoke playback to consider once it is compiled.

FWIW, I compiled the libhdhomerun_20100828 for the 200-series. It starts, but that's about all I can test.

Code:

PCH-C200[libhdhomerun]# ./hdhomerun_config --help
Usage:
    hdhomerun_config discover
    hdhomerun_config <id> get help
    hdhomerun_config <id> get <item>
    hdhomerun_config <id> set <item> <value>
    hdhomerun_config <id> scan <tuner> [<filename>]
    hdhomerun_config <id> save <tuner> <filename>
    hdhomerun_config <id> upgrade <filename>

I took a quick look at ajr's CSI package for the 100-series, and it looks out of league for me. Even if I could work it out, I don't even have a HDhomerun to test against.

If you are lucky it's just a matter of replacing the hdhomerun_config file, substitute HARD_DISK to SATA_DISK in paths etc. I wouldn't count on it... but, who dares wins

If anyone is interested in the hdhomerun_config and libhdhomerun.so files for the C200, send me a PM with your email address.

Wow! Thanks! Can't wait to try it out.

If I remember correctly, XBMC uses that libhdhomerun.so file for its' HDHR integration. I wonder, if I put libhdhomerun.so in the proper place, will I be able to use my existing .STRM files from XBMC to control my HDHR? That would be amazing. I'll report back after I do some testing.

After playing with a few of the new apps, and the latest NMJ, I am feeling like the C-200 is now staring to live up to its full potential. In the past the PCH was a really nice add on to my system, but was not usually my go-to device. Today has become my primary source for almost all types of entertainment. The only missing piece is a clean way to watch or record over the air TV. An APP Center App that interfaced to the HDHomeRun or some other good quality ATSC receiver would really complete the picture for me. Seems like a logical App for the PCH.

A while back I caught Steve Young from Syabas in the shoutbox and asked him if they were working with the guys from Silicon Dust on an HDHomeRun app. He said they were not, so any app for this purpose would have to be user created.

I kind of lost interest in this since I changed my setup a bit and no longer have much of a need for such a feature. I never even got around to testing the hdhomerun_config file that dc11ab complied and kindly sent me; I should really do that soon.
