Overview

PVR.WMC is a PVR client add-on that provides Live TV, PVR functions and electronic program guide data to XBMC. The services are provided by connecting to ServerWMC; a server interface for Windows which communicates with Windows Media Center.

Supported Platforms

The ServerWMC backend must be installed on a Windows PC running either Windows 7, WIndows 8 or Windows 8.1 which must have Windows Media Center (WMC) installed and configured.

The PVR.WMC client add-on is officially supported on Windows, Linux and OS X XBMC platforms.

A RaspberryPi version is available but will not be covered in detail here at this time. Please refer to the following link for additional information: http://forum.stmlabs.com/showthread.php?tid=10553

Android is not currently supported, but is on the to-do list.

Downloading

XBMC 12 Frodo


XBMC 13 Gotham Preview

Installing

As pvr.wmc is not currently an official XBMC PVR addon, you need to manually install it in your XBMC addons directory.

There is a separate addon version for XBMC 12 (Frodo) and XBMC 13 (Gotham preview) versions, so make sure you choose the correct one (refer to Builds section above).

Once you've downloaded the addon start XBMC and go to System -> Settings -> Add-ons -> Install from zip file. A folder navigation pane will come up. Navigate to where the addon was downloaded to and select the addon file. This will install the addon to the XBMC profile.

Configuring XBMC PVR Addon to connect to ServerWMC

  1. Go to Settings -> Add-ons -> Enabled Add-ons -> PVR Clients and select the Windows Media Center add-on
  2. Select "Configure"
ServerWMC Backend Hostname or IP
The hostname or IP address of the server where ServerWMC and WMC is installed. If backend and frontend run on the same machine then 'localhost' can be used.
If the hostname of the server is not known go to the System Properties window on the server (WinKey + Pause/Break). The hostname is listed under Computer Name.
ServerWMC Backend Port
The default is 9080.


Next step: Configuring XBMC


Troubleshooting

General

  1. If you're experiencing troubles with the addon, ServerWMC thread in XBMC Forum is the correct place to ask for help.
  2. Always include a ServerWMC logfile posted on pastebin and in some cases a XBMC debug log is also helpful

Raspberry Pi

Note: Streaming Live TV from ServerWMC to the PVR.WMC plug-in on Raspbmc requires the MPEG-2 codec be purchased from the Raspberry Pi store and installed. http://www.raspberrypi.com/mpeg-2-license-key/

ServerWMC Log File

The ServerWMC log file can be located under C:\ProgramData\VDsoftware\ServerWMC\ServerWMC.log
