Perhaps because I didn't attach a log file on my original post. I am still using a quite old version of the Add-On on my main TV that is working well enough for me...

Can anyone give us any insight into this? Is this a known problem? Would you like me to attach some log files?

Hi,
Yes i need log to see what happen. But first try with mythfrontend to check you haven't the issue with it. Also what is the version of the old addon you use without any problem. That could be help me. Thanks.
Edit: if you have the git commit , it would be nice

Hi janbar,

I have just tested with Mythfrontend, and the problem does not occur. Playback of the analog SD channels is smooth.

The version I have working is very old (sorry, I'm not super familiar with git, so I'll give you the info I have on that frontend machine, not even sure if it will help, I realize it's not even running Frodo, I'm still on Eden...):
I followed the directions on page 83 of this thread:

git clone https://github.com/tsp/xbmc.git
cd xbmc
git checkout Eden-pvr

git log gives me this as the latest:

Author: Tonny Petersen <tsp@person.dk>
Date: Sun Jun 24 15:57:46 2012 +0200

FIX: click on recording folder would play all files instead of showing content

This is working without the glitches for me, but I do have to tune several times to the analog channels because of the ReadLiveStream: Read 0 Bytes! problem. Anyways, hope this is useful info...

Glitchy version:

XBMC 12.0-RC2 Git:8e45737 (Compiled: Dec 20 2012)

Let me know if you need any more info, I'll do what I can.

Thanks and happy holidays!

Then get the zip file and unzip it into ~/.xbmc/addons/ by replacing previous addon.

It looks like the frontend is trying to access the backend using an IPv6 loopback address but I have specified IPv4 addresses in mythtv-setup for both the master and slave backends. Is there something else I need to specify for this? I tried mythfrontend and am able to play live TV with that.

Thanks for your help.

Do you mean this patch? "LiveTV buffer size reduction should be less aggressive" I already had merged into my testing environment.

I think i located the problem, but could'n solve it right now:
In the function cmyth_livetv_chain_update() an old file name will be received from the backend (cmyth_recorder_get_cur_proginfo() requests this) which is already in the chain. The actual file will newer be inserted into the chain and so livetv stops.

Unfortunately i have no idea why the backend reports the old file to the client.

Hi janbar,

this seems to have fixed it - I tested it with a number of switchovers and it rolled over to the new recording without a glitch on my 0.24 MythTV installation. I know I need to upgrade Myth sometime, but the current installation runs too nicely for me to hurry.

Have a happy new year!

(2012-12-27, 16:00)Nachteule Wrote: Read 0 Bytes! Problem

I also have the "AddOnLog: MythTV cmyth PVR Client: ReadLiveStream: Read 0 Bytes!" problem during LiveTV, using Frodo RC2 and pvr addon from fetzerch git and mythtv 0.26 on openSUSE 12.1

It always happens here nearly at the end of the movie (newer at the beginning or in the middle) and showing live-stream is behind the live tv receiving (using timeshift, playing was paused several times).

I looked to the mpg's which are written by mythbackend and i think, xbmc stops exactly at the end of the last mpg and can't get access to the new mpg.

Here is the part of my log (extra debug msg's are not activated):

What i already did is putting the live-tv folder where mythbackend stores the live-tv files into a tmpfs (which remains totally in ram) but this makes no difference.

If i deactivate a timer, the state goes to "error", however in the backend this timer is deactivated.

Hi, have you try to pause the playback few seconds (20 secs) and then play ? Is glitchy exist yet ?

Hi janbar,

So I tuned to one of the analog SD channels. When it started glitching, I paused for ~30 seconds. When I un-paused, there were a couple of glitches for ~15 seconds, then the playback was fine.

Log HERE , but there doesn't seem to be too much info in there, not sure if it'll help you out at all.

If you need me to test anything else, let me know! And thanks again for the hard work on this, it's really coming along nicely!

Excellent, it compiled up and appeared to get the EDL list.. more testing to see how well it works.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm using this for quite a while now and it's working fine. At least the XBMC/Addon part. It depends of cause on the comskip quality. So if your breaks appear to early or to late it needs configuration/fixes on the MythTV side.
