jinx

I would have no idea how to compile against external ffmpeg, is it easy?

edit : Installed ffmpeg from repository which loaded libavcodec updates, trying make again. re the subtitles, sorry was being being thick.

Gentle reminder: my XBMC w/ libcmyth is not showing EPG data retrieved using Schedule Direct. I have EIT scanning disabled, but does that matter?

Logs are below:

Try resetting the PVR database in xbmc, The function to fetch the EPG is never called.

RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - bilbonvidia - 2012-04-24 22:55

I am going to try on a normal ubuntu machine as aopposed to the xbmcbuntu and see what happens.

It doesn't use the scrapers in XBMC (That would be nice but should go into the xbmc PVR code and not as a specific addon code). On my setup the mythfrontend seems to pull down the artwork without any user setup but that is with v0.24. Don't know about 0.23. In 0.25 the backend is responsible for pulling down the metadata so it should work better (no need to use the frontend) but I haven't stated testing 0.25 yet. I suppose it is also a requirement that the storagegroups are setup correctly.

Ah got it. Bummer, I assumed that it worked more or less like Mythbox (i.e. on the XBMC side). You're probably right in thinking that the fanart download isn't fully implemented on the myth side with myth 0.23 or earlier. However, I notice that the per recording thumbnails are pulled OK without any special storage groups setup, just not the fanart (because mythfrontend isn't doing that).

It works fine (obviously) on my two systems (windows 7/Mythbuntu 11.04).

Looks like the storage group is not setup properly on the backend. Shouldn't affect the LiveTV though. Could you pastebin a log with the "Include more debug information in the Log" enabled?

It seems that live TV isn't work for many of the posters (like me, chrisgibbs and bilbonvidia), although it may not be for exactly the same reasons. However the symptoms for me is the same as chrisgibbs, it just hangs when attempting to play. When I get home I'll try to pastebin the log file to see if it's the same underlying issue (probably ffmpeg as you suggest). Recorded programs playback just fine. However I also noticed that even with the Mythbox add-on, live TV works for a few seconds, then crashed XBMC, so it probably is something global to myth/ffmpeg in XBMC proper rather than the add-on per se.

Livetv is also broken for me. same symptoms. (it is working without this commit https://github.com/tsp/xbmc/commit/68e2f7fe7b7b02ba62b074d317d873c09231550b). Could also provide some logs tomorrow.

(mythbackend has a similar view as does Mythbox).

I added this FR to github: https://github.com/tsp/xbmc/issues/11

I get the same hang with LiveTV on the last compile; this is on Fedora 16..

I do notice that Myth 0.24 says it's streaming to the client; from the xbmc logfile:

@tsp:

might be being a bit thick, but can't find entries in mythconverg for the artwork...... videometadata is empty and I can't find anything else that looks likely. Can you let me know which table/column I should be looking in to track this one down?

RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - robweber - 2012-04-25 01:13

@tsp:

These changes you are making are great! Thanks.

I'm still having the issue with the JSON-RPC server not working. You mentioned it may be something broken upstream - does anyone know if this is something opdenkamp is aware of? I checked the github requests and didn't see anything about it.

Thanks.
