now,
I'm trying to build it, but I could find a ./configure in the parent directory, all I have is make-build.sh (that only copy files) and xbmc.sln & xbmc.vcproj files, that I don't know how to open under linux. I'll be happy to get some help with it.
thanks.

Oh dear...Wink

bummer. I wanted to help developing it...

Then do the following:

1. Checkout the linuxport branch.

2. Do a merge from alchoheca's branch to your linuxport branch.

3. Fix the inevitable build problems.

4. Post a patch and we'll get a new branch up for you to play in.

Cheers,
Jonathan

hi leo2,

I'll be creating a diff against linuxport branch as soon as I get a chance, but don't hold your breath - I have zero available time until uni starts back up in 10 days.

I think there's still a lot of worth in just reading the code though, or merging yourself if you can't wait.

- leo2 - 2008-09-13

thanks,
I hope I'll have a time to work on it this week, if I do I'll send a patch.

MythTV python script? are referring to this one?:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmcmythtv/

That is not what what is used in alchoheca's branch though, it uses a native client coded in C++

...but if you are going to look at python anyway then these might interest you too:

Those are all related to PVR python clients for XBMC Wink

I though that the idea of this project was that it would use python plug ins to interface with the pvrs and that mythtv would be the one used for development

I wanted to have a look at the python version just to have a look with a mind for doing one for eyetv

That doesn't mean you can't code a python script for eyeTV, though Smile

Some people prefer the scripts, anyway.

Or you could try to help alcoheca with his project...

- msaspence - 2008-09-15

so no plans to have a python interface for alcoheca's project?

Quote:APIs will be created to allow other programmers to easily add support for their favoured PVR application as a client 'plugin'

i would love to help alcoheca but dont think that my c is up to it
maybe one day - i am still stuggling with compiling

which is why i was hoping that it would utilise python
as i could manage that and there is an existing eyetv python library

- alcoheca - 2008-09-15

There are plans for a Python interface, but I don't see any point working on it until the C one has been set in stone.

The LONG TERM PLANS was/is an API that will let you code the client plugins in any programming-language as described in the first concept post in this thread. It will take time and the minds and will of many people before we get there. Again, the initial API is not even ready yet to go into the main SVN branch.

T3CH Build - flammon - 2008-10-11

Does anyone know if T3CH will be building XBMC with the new mythtv code? I'm anxious to start testing. Is there another way that I can test this on my XBOX?

The code for this unified PVR API and EPG frontend is as it sais in this thread not in the mainline SVN, you have to compile it yourself from alcoheca's branch like described in this thread.

is anything new on this?
when will it merged with linux branch?
