I was wondering if it would be difficult to add more hardware support?
I haven't tried GBPVR since it doesn't support DVB-cards which is a must have for me. I have no doubts that media file handling works good enough so I see no point to try it yet.
But as a developer I would be willing to consider adding the support myself.
Especially Twinhan has an easy to use SDK freely downloadable and if it is easy to add I think I would switch card to them and add the support to GBPVR. I got a Hauppauge Nexus card today and I also got the SDK for that card but it is not as easy to use though more powerful.
So what would be needed to add a new hardware?
Is there a generic hardware interface so one could just add a dll and an external application that does the (usually) one time configuration setup (channel scanning, etc) and then it works with the rest of GBPVR functionality?
