MediaPortal TVService on virtualized Windows XP - Page 3

Diggen · 2008-06-21, 10:05

Ok found out my Twinhan is broken. It has the same behaviour under native Windows as in Xen Windows. Probably thats why i haven't used it, ago.
Also tried Parralles Server Beta with Vt-D Support but it was very unstable and I had to reinstall my complete Windows.
Butt Thums up for the Asus Board my 1x PCIe TVCard works in the PCIe 16x Slot as is should.

Continuing this semi-old thread...

So even though the download page for Xen 3.2.1 says "Preliminary PCI pass-through support (using appropriate Intel or AMD I/O-virtualization hardware)", you still need to download and build from source?

I'm really interested in setting up a server with Xen, TVServer (with FloppyDTV DVB-C cards) and Openfiler, so I'll probably give it a shot sooner or later.

I assume so since the release is still at 3.2.1. Unless you want to mess around wasting a lot of time, I'd suggest building from source.

Instead of using the GPL PV drivers, coud I install a second NIC and export it to the DomU running WinXP? And you were trying with PCI Tuner cards, right? I'm going to try with FloppyDTVs using firewire. Hope it'll work... Assuming the IEEE1394 controller is a PCI device I should be able to export the entire controller to the DomU?

I've asked on the Xen-users list as well, and have been hanging around on ##xen, but haven't got a response yet.

Yeah, you should be able to export a NIC to the DomU if you want. You can do a lspci and see if the IEEE1394 controller is shown.
