New MythTV add-on using libcmyth

~/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/pvr.mythtv.cmyth/cache/coverart

and

~/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/pvr.mythtv.cmyth/cache/fanart

on my system are both empty directories. I assumed that the add-on pulled the info for each show from thetvdb or something? I haven't set any coverart or fanart in the mythbackend.

I wonder if it might be possible to add an "All recordings" entry at the top of the list that would return the old-style linear list, sometimes it's useful to be able browse backwards in time and see what shows were on the same day, or to sort globally by title, so it would be useful to retain this function. (mythbackend has a similar view as does Mythbox).

Another feature request would be better detection of movies, I filed this:

https://github.com/tsp/xbmc/issues/10

Basically, it seems that mythbackend stores (some of) this info, would be better to use this rather than heuristics.

Thanks again, tsp42! Sorry for the flurry of bug reports/feature requests. I will try to look into implementing some of them myself if I can free up some time.

There are still some folks working on getting it to work. The problem is with FFMpeg not being able to pass the MPEG2 transport stream off to a hardware decoder. I don't even think it was this forum where I read about this. It could have been OpenElec on AppleTV or somewhere else.

Okay, thank you. Will take a look on openelec's forum. I have a Apple TV 1. Gen with Crystal HD 15 card. It runs crystalbuntu really good with 1080p on movies, but not on livetv :-(

Code:

"^(?<folder>.+?)::(?<title>.+)"

Could you also check if there is any artwork in ~/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/pvr.mythtv.cmyth/cache/
that are not displayed. If you have a lot of artwork it can take a while before it is transfered.

And if possible post the names of the artwork that is not displayed. Especially the middle part of the names. Usually it is named like: title_season X_coverart.jpg.
The regex used to match this is: "%s.*_%s\\.(?:jpg|png|bmp) where the first %s is the title and second %s the storage group. It may need to be tuned to get the tv shows artwork.

Thanks for the regex, that totally works for me!

as for the cache, it contains a coverart, fanart and preview folder. All my artwork stored on the server is downloaded and present. The artwork the displays is:



That which does not:

You'll notice that some shows/movies have two lots of art work titling going on..... but two that have both sets of fanart are also in the group of shows that don't display any. I'm going to delete the cache and let it repopulate and see what happens....

Right, deleted the cache, and now every entry it downloads is displayed properly:


however, not all fanart is being pulled from my server:

at a guess this is what is going wrong when I try and watch live tv

does this suggest the compile went wrong? I'll try the windows version later to see if I get similar behaviour.

i musta miss something i did compile it and started up enabled pvr but hit live tv and channels it says no pvr client started

Jimmer: do you have to do something special on the mythbackend to get the fanart to download? I thought that the fanart was being pulled directly by XBMC (using the information from mythbackend) using the thetvdb and themoviedb add-ons (this is how the Mythbox add-on does it, it doesn't rely on fanart supplied by mythbackend), not directly from the mythbackend. I'm using Myth 0.23.1-fixes and I couldn't find the options to get mythbackend to pull fanart/coverart. What is your setup on the myth side?

Looks like live TV is having problems (see my post above) with the latest master from github, not just with myth 0.24, but also with my myth 0.23.1-fixes installation. Has anyone got live TV working successfully with any version of myth using the current github master?

I have been playing around with XBMC and the libcmyth PVR addon for Mythtv.

Mythtv is working for me (version v0.24.1-80-g1de0431) and displays the correct channels and liveTV.

However when using XBMC, I browse the LiveTV guide, it pulls down the EPG fine but then when I select a channel the working status indicator comes up and no liveTV stream is played

XBMC logs dont seem to give any hints when checking for ERROR:

http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=1881

.

XBMC is the latest git pull from https://github.com/tsp/xbmc.git.

I'm running Kbuntu 11.10 x64, kernel 3.0.0-17-server.

Not sure what the issue is and would appreciate a hand if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Chris

will cmyth work on ubuntu 10.10 maverick?
or do i need to goto ubunutu 11?

Okay, I have installed the windows version and live tv is working on that BUT everything has subtitles stream enabled??
Live tv still not working on the xbmcbuntu machine.
