... However the main xbmc trunk now has support for livetv and myth 0.24 ...

so that's 'just' from,

git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git

right?

re: "MythBox works" (I gather, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythBox?), is "PVR" slated to replace that?

i guess what i'm looking for is the "most XBMC-ish" solution. eventually, if not right now.

sorry about the confusion -- lots of old and new moving parts.


thanks!

There will be three ways to get to myth tv and recordings..

PVR: A consistent frontend which uses different backends, ie, VDR, TVHeadend etc.
Using a myth:// source.. A minimal interface which gives you recordings, live tv and some epg data, but not that pretty.
mythbox, a myth script which runs from the video addons menu, all singing, all dancing myth frontend, although a little slow(imho) and only for myth.

You can get xbmc to talk to myth 0.24 using either a git version of dushmaniacs git tree or the one above. The changes made to the main xbmc tree were merged into dushmaniacs the other day.

Hmmm, on the whole it works, but I can't select a different tuner, it defaults to the first one, which is only local channels, not my cable channels (firewire or hdpvr input). Is there a way to change it, or is it a protocol issue?

Probably a protocol issue. You can't just add the tokens to the connection and have everything magically work. If any of the data structures passed across the interface have changed the code needs to be updated to send and receive that information correctly.

If you want something stable then I'd go with XBMC master and use the internal myth:// support as per http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=MythTV

Or use XBMC master with the MythBox Python Addon. http://code.google.com/p/mythbox/

After playing with it, I'd say it's 80% working, at least as much as pvrinput was around 6 months ago. The changing source thing is actually working, but it times out before displaying the channel (due to slow channel change). So you have to hit the channel twice, and channel up/down or entering the number doesn't work.

Hi all, I've got an issue with Mythtv .24 with dteirney git compiled today. Mythtv works flawlessly, with firewire box and external ir blaster.

I get everything setup fine. XBMC see's all my channels, the info/guide etc. But playback i get an error telling me to look at the logs. I seem to get this error:

Code:

21:23:19 T:139977540417280 M:1465593856   ERROR: AddOnLog: MythTV PVR Addon: GetConnection - Error connecting to mysql server: mysql://mythtv:[email protected]. errno: 0, error: ''

Any thoughts?

Thanks, this should get me going in the right direction eventually, then.

Right now, Master certainly builds with no errors, but the vast majority of addons report "broken". I'm guessing "it's me"

Once I get that sorted, I'll give the internal myth support a try.

Nothings showing as broken in the one I compiled today. A lot is missing, but add on repos still work (for me). I just had to force refresh.

Regarding that error. Check that the mythtv user can connect via the command line from the box that XBMC is running on. I assume that XBMC and MySQL are on the same server since the hostname for MythTV is set to be 127.0.0.1.

$mysql -u mythtv -p r9rZIjTC -h 127.0.0.1 (or something like that)

In future, please post a link to a full debug log at http://pastebin.com. That error likely doesn't have anything to do with the playback problem.

Just to let you know, latest osx svn build (xbmc-20110629-a401db7-master-i386.dmg) and mythbox 1.0.4, the live tv works fine.

Thanks
