- choid99 - 2004-10-20 wondering if anyone can help me? i have installed the latest cvs version of mythtv and mythweb to overcome a problem where mythweb was causing mythbackend to hang. however, now i've done so the wonderful xbmc_mythtv is out of sync in terms of protocol version. i was wondering what i need to do to update mythtv.py in order to get things working again. i added: elif mythprotocolversion == "14": # 0.16 recordsize = 38 in getrecordings but now i get the error: "unable to find selected show" in mytvshow.py when trying to view a show i've recorded. how do i calculate the recordsize? i just left it the same as version 13 but this could well be my problem help much appreciated !! - KaZeR - 2004-10-21 (choid99 @ oct. 20 2004,22:39 Wrote:hi, Quote:how did i get around this? what i did was spend my money on a hauppage pvr 350 tv card. thanks for your answer. some days ago i tough about buying a pvr250, mainly because my 5 years old bttv card has a bad shield and some channels looked snowy. but a friend of mine brought his bttv, and now quality is really good.. so i tought it wasn't worth anymore buying a pvr. i was quite happy with that does that mean that you guys are all using a pvr-x50 card? have you some more info about the patch? thanks for your reply - rpao - 2004-11-05 when i select a pre-recorded tv show, i get an empty dialog box titled "error" with an ok button which dismisses the dialog. i can watch the nuv file through xmbc's my video directly.

[edit] * snotty6969 thought mpeg4 encoding would solve this like mpeg2 with pvr-x50... [/edit] i guess i'll have to wait untill the "make mplayer myth-file compatible" patch gets into xbmc? to bad for me. love the script though. thanks all!! - sigtom - 2004-11-15 the mpeg 4 encoded .nuv files that myth makes isnt a regular mpeg-4 stream, its been modified by myth, so i dont ever see there being a patch for something like that, so your best bet is to install linux and then myth on the xbox, search mythtv.org for the xbox mythtv distro. - elminster - 2004-11-15 to follow on from choids post has anyone found a fix to the python scripts when protocol 14 is being used? - xerxes3rd - 2004-11-15 (sigtom @ nov. 15 2004,03:09 Wrote:the mpeg 4 encoded .nuv files that myth makes isnt a regular mpeg-4 stream, its been modified by myth, so i dont ever see there being a patch for something like that, so your best bet is to install linux and then myth on the xbox, search mythtv.org for the xbox mythtv distro.while that is true, mythfrontend uses mplayer to play back the recorded streams, so it must be supported somehow in mplayer. - ilovetechno - 2004-11-15 can anyone post some screenshots of the mythtv frontend for the xbox please? i am thinking of installing mythtv for recording options in xmbc. - Livin - 2004-11-30 is there a feature list with some screen shots for this script? i'm currently looking at finding a pvr solution to integrate. thanks! - tbdombrosky - 2004-12-01 it can't do live tv at the moment so you might want to consider that in your decision. - windisch - 2004-12-05 i am having trouble watching a show with the script and accessing a show in the tv schedule. it says error, but no error message. i have everything configured. i'm just not sure where the path prefix smb share needs to point to. the readme file doesn't explain it, and i see no website for help. is there a website for this script? does the mythtv smb share need to point to the recordings folder? also the gui skin does not show the mytv button on xbmc. any help would be appreciated. thanks - nummer55 - 2004-12-08 will this work with for example the msi vox (usb2.0) tv tuner (philips chipset)? i only got a laptop and would love to be able to record shows via my laptop on my xbox. anyone knows? - windisch - 2004-12-16 (windisch @ dec. 05 2004,04:13 Wrote:i am having trouble watching a show with the script and accessing a show in the tv schedule. it says error, but no error message. i have everything configured. i'm just not sure where the path prefix smb share needs to point to. the readme file doesn't explain it, and i see no website for help. is there a website for this script? does the mythtv smb share need to point to the recordings folder? also the gui skin does not show the mytv button on xbmc. any help would be appreciated.noone has any idea? or knows where else i can look for help on this? |
