After the epg related commits of the last 2 days, XBMC crashes every time while updating the epg entries right after startup, unless I delete the Epg4.db file. If I do so, everything is ok for the first run, bust starts crashing again after the first restart of xbmc.

Crash log:

It's the same bug.

I´ve done some progress. I think I´ve discovered the problem. Some problem envolving streaming to XBMC. I´ve tried playing in streaming to VLC and It´s recognized correctly the audio codec. However when I´ve recorded a stream in XBMC and tryed to play in VLC It hasn´t audio.

So I´ve update the ticket and send a sample in:

anyone know if its possible to add more content types to tvheadend or get tvheadend to show all?. The xmltv source i use has content type for all shows, but the only one I see appearing on tvheadend is music.

the epg not loading is probably a bug in tvheadend or an issue with that mux. could use an xmltv grabber for those channels if it's available.

Thanks a lot for help. I am afraid there is no xmltv grabber available for that mux yet. Perhaps I could try to make one based on http://www.xmltvepg.be/rytecxmltvskylink.gz . I would be surprised if they did not send EPG in this mux. Is there a way to debug the missing EPG in tvheadend? Without EPG the recording in tvheadend is much more complicated. Thanks a lot for any hints.

Hopefully this is OK

Thanks a lot for the information, sorting is no big deal.

thanks for the ticket.

maybe something shows up when you enable debugging output in the web interface, but I doubt it. better ask for help on tvheadend's own forums or #hts on freenode.

Hi moontan77

I have the same issue with uk/irish tv listing using xmltv.
I ask on the tvheadend forum, it seems to be limited to some DVB Standard. And like you music is the only category that is matching up for me

I just upgraded to 11.04 and was thrilled to find that it is impossible to use Mythtv with HDPVR in 11.04 due to a change in V4L in 11.04. I have never liked Myth. This seems the perfect opportunity to finally check out the PVR branch and tvheadend, but there are no packages for natty?

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/lars-opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

xbmc doesn't run on natty yet.
so downgrade to <= maverick or wait until someone (theuni?) fixed xbmc-packaging for natty


- denvergeek - 2011-05-06 16:35

Thanks for the quick reply...

DOH!

I keep two installations on separate partitions, for just this reason. But somehow installing the new 11.04 has made my 10.10 install really unstable (maybe related to shared /home). So I am desperately trying to migrate everything to 11.04, but without TV, its not going to be possible.

Any idea of when tvheadend + xbmc + PVR branch will run on natty?


- opdenkamp - 2011-05-06 17:35

no idea. and it has nothing to do with pvr. when it's available for mainline xbmc, I'll make it available for xbmc-pvr too.
