There is something else I'd like to look into too. (oh, what have I gotten myself into Wink)
When resuming from standby I get some strange behaviour from the PVR addon. The recordings list is not updated, I sometimes cannot play any recordings and while playing another video I get notifications frequently that recordings are finished or deleted, which is obviously not the case. Not sure if this is related to the mythtv addon specifically or to the PVR system as a whole.
Does anyone recognize this?

RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - tsp42 - 2012-05-06 22:55

I suspect that it is because the connection(socket) to the backend is broken when resuming from standby. Currently there is no code to try reestablishing the connection. The libcmyth code that has to be updated. We/I need to add a new function to update the cmyth_conn_t struct.

Any help will of course be highly appreciated. As you may have discovered it can be quite time consuming to fix all these bugs.

RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - InoD - 2012-05-06 23:07

Ok, I'll have a look at how this is implemented best. Will probably take some time though....

It is when changing channel. I am currently running on the last commit before timeshift. Let me know if you want me to upgrade again to try anything testing wise.

EDIT: This is not relevant anymore. I think commit 91bfc4eaed took care of this.

Hi,
I'm trying to compile but I get errors:

I am compiling on Debian Squeeze.
Opdenkamps repo compiles just fine.
What can I do to prevent these errors?

RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - dteirney - 2012-05-10 11:05

@bas.t you need to upgrade libboost to 1.46 or later.

RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - Powderking - 2012-05-10 12:44

I'm still following your build and still use it as my frontend.
I wanted to say again thank you for your work!
It's great to see it developping Big Grin

I was amazed when I saw that preview and channel pics work now when the backend is on a different machine. And the categories are wonderful too Big Grin


Even though I have three little issues:

The categories aren't always perfect. E.g. I have a movies category where I have lots of recordings. But none of them is a movie. I understand that you sort them by program title only. But mythfrontend does it somehow different. I have a much better categroization there.
Will you be able to change that someday or is this a limitation of the cmyth library?

The next issue is when I enter this movies category (in fact any with a large number of recordings) it takes minutes until the recordings are listed. I read something about that it downloads all the covers. Has this to do with it?

And the last thing is that I like to have the newest recordings on the top. But When I sort one category the others aren't affected. Would it be possible to implement a menu entry or something that sets everything to be sorted be date?


Thank you again very much for your great work!

Hi,

I read with attention your work, but I cannot use your git repo for compiling as I'm using MythTV 0.25. And this is going to be common as it's the version include in Ubuntu 12.04, so the version of Mythbuntu too.

But Daniel Teirney has patched the cmyth for support of MythTV 0.25 (https://github.com/dteirney/xbmc/tree/myth-0.25)
And seems it has been pull to the main branch of XBMC git (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc cmyth 19 hours ago [cmyth] Fix memory corruption caused by incorrect size allocation for… [David Teirney])

Is it possible to merge your lib directory from the xbmc git so we will have the new version of cmyth and support of 0.25 ?
As your addon is full cmyth based, must be enough to get xbmc-pvr working with myth 0.25

Am I wrong ?

five has managed it here:

it needs a file patching, and this was done a little while ago, but it may still be working. Probably better to wait a few days for it to get merged into Dushmaniac, and then again here. It'll happen soon, I'm sure

I tested patching tsp's cmyth branch with the myth-0.25 patch and I have it "working" in the sense that it loads the EPG and channel info. I tested this on a separate machine with no video card, using the "dummy tuner" module built into the mythbackend, so I was unable to test Live TV or recording playback, but at least the EPG/schedule and channel info loads correctly, which is generally a good sign.
