New MythTV add-on using libcmyth

kburkart · 2012-06-25 21:36

tsp,

starting up live tv takes 20 some odd seconds, it only takes 3-5 second in mythfrontend.

I will get you a channel change tonight.

thx,
Kevin

It seems that it will take a while untill my pull request on main actually gets pulled.

If you want to compile the Eden-pvr branch with tinyxml < 2.6.0 (like on Debian Squeeze) you don't have to wait for that.

Code:

git clone https://github.com/tsp/xbmc.git && cd xbmc && git checkout Eden-pvr

Now add the fix (which is already in master and will be included in the Eden.1 bugfix release):

Code:

git remote add upstream git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git

git fetch upstream

git cherry-pick 8de0e038df

git cherry-pick d98a21a852

git reset --hard HEAD

Now you can compile like you normally whould.

Hi,

I am running a kubuntu precise machine and have problems with this addon. A few seconds after I start xbmc (15 seconds) it will completely freeze. Looking at the log I guess it has something to do with the EPG data fetcher. Only a kill -9 will stop the process.
This problem has not been visible with older versions of the addon (a few months ago).

Stacktraces after the crash:
http://pastebin.com/eMcpqp1K

xbmc log with debug enabled via advancedsettings (can't get to the menu in this short time):
http://pastebin.com/K9ttq21H

Line 612 in the log says:
20:55:42 T:2873150272 ERROR: Action - thread PVR add-on updater, Unhandled exception caught in thread process, aborting. auto delete: 0
maybe this is the point where you could start looking for the bug Smile

I did a git pull + recompile (make clean all) today, so problem is still present.

best regards,
Martin

This is not true anymore. I am compiling on Debian Squeeze, with libboost 1.42
I think commit 91bfc4eaed took care of this.
Thanks I've updated the first post.

According to the commit that fixed it, libboost 1.41 should be sufficient. So maybe you want to update the first post once more...

Hi,

I checked out Eden-pvr in a new sandbox and built and tried this one. same effect:

What I forgot to mention yesterday:
I tried mythtv 0.24 and 0.25. Both had this problem
I have most channels set to "useonairguide=false", as I only use about 15 channels of the 100+

Hi All,

Just compiled up on mythbuntu 12.04 and the Ubuntu install instructions were perfect except I had to add the following extra libraries.

Code:

sudo apt-get install libtinyxml-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-regex-dev

Just thought it might be useful to someone.

Cant wait to test it out it looks amazing thanks for all the work that's been put into this!

I did some further tests and discovered why xbmc failed for me: LC_CTYPE was set to de_AT instead of de_AT.UTF-8.
So it starts up correctly yet now it fails to play recorded shows:

http://pastebin.com/6fSExs2q
I had to cut some lines from the top, as I exceeded the 500k size limit on pastebin.
The stream I want to watch is currently recording. Doesn't work on previously recorded streams either. I just wanted to use one where no german umlauts are in the title and had no prerecorded one available.

any ideas?

Live TV doesn't work correctly either, but let's first look at this.

lonestar: It looks like the port is not setup correctly. The addon tries to connect to port 0 and fails.

The port of the cmyth addon is set to 6543. I checked in gui and in the xml file (settings.xml).
