New MythTV add-on using libcmyth

@tsp,

have successfully compiled on Linux Mint 12 (so basically Ubuntu Oneiric...). Only thing is you have to:

make -C lib/libshairport
sudo make -C lib/libshairport install

to update to the newer shairport (if you haven't already upgraded it in the last few weeks), or your compile will crap out at the network phase....

Also, Congrats!

Hi all,

I did a new build from git/master today.

All PVR stuff is horribly slow, changing folders takes ages. (ok, around 5-10 minutes)

PVR startup took about 10 Minutes (with ~1000 recordings, I have to clean up)

Any tips to make it faster? I see a massive increase in network traffic.

(xbmc runs on a ION zbox, mythbackend on a quad-core AMD)

Thanks a lot,

Falk

I figured by going the OpenELEC route I can optimize it for the ION boxes. Is that what you run your thumbdrives on? Saw your build in the previous post. I will try that one if it is up to date.

Yes and yes.

The next question is how do you set up so each remote openelec client gets its own configuration, instead of sharing the same one? The audio setup on each client is slightly different, IE 2 r through HDMI, 1 analog, one optical. I get sound on all of them, but have to adjust audio every time it boots.

I think you need to make sure that /storage for each client is pointing to a different source.

Congratulations!

I've also re-enabled the fast channel switching. The code compiles on windows but I'vent tested it with GCC yet. Next step is to backport the changes to eden-pvr.

If I read correct, congrats!

Hi all, I am trying to compile openelec master with tsp's eden-pvr branch however I get an error 'configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling'

I am attempting to compile for Fusion if that is impacting.

My config.log is here if it helps.

InoD,

are you going to be building OpenElec with Tsp's new fast switching? Is it possible to add UVC video drivers to that? I don't know anything about building OpenElec, but know that would be nice to have with the Opera add on so that google hangout could be used on a client machine.

Thanks,
Kevin

With Jimmer's help, I got this working on Precise as well. I wouldn't recommend Precise yet but Maverick EOL'ed and I needed large disk support which Ubuntu 11 wouldn't do.

Jimmer had a typo in the make install command and I've included the full build sequence I used:


Many thanks to Tonny and of course congratulations to the Petersens.

Thanks! Typed that out on my phone at work, so I'll excuse myself just this once! I'll re-edit my original post in case anyone stumbles across it without reading your correction...

Once tsp42 has backported his changes to the Eden-pvr branch, I will include it in my build. If you mean USB video class driver, then guess they are already available, since they are build into the kernel since 2.6. Maybe they are not part of the kernel configuration though. I do not know if and how this will interact with the Opera add-on though.

Yes I was talking about USB Video Camera. I am curious if this wil work. I haven't tried it yet because I am still trying to get the Opera add on working, once I get that working I will pulg in my USB webcam that I know works with google hangouts in ubuntu and see if I can get things working. I'll update this when that time comes.
