New MythTV add-on using libcmyth
I am using xbmc 10/23/2012 (latest as of right now) and latest git version of the addon. I just upgraded from a fully functional 10/15 build. When I tune to channels, it just sits there and says Working... and never shows the channel. I hit stop and after about 30-45 seconds xbmc comes back to normal. Anyone else seeing this? 0.25+fixes backend on ubuntu 12.04.

I tried resetting the pvr database, playing without timeout, etc.

I tried to build the latest addon from cfetz repo... however I got an error that i havent seen before
C:\Users\kallen1\Documents\GitHub\xbmc-pvr-addons\lib\cmyth\libcmyth\cmyth_local.h(40): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'mysql/mysql.h': No such file or directory

did you guys add a new dependency in the last few weeks? what do i need to do to get this building again on windows?

Quote:No, unfortunately this addon works only with a recent Frodo build. (PVR api 1.5.0 --> newer than October 9).
I'd sugest you build xbmc's current git master. Have a look at the README.ubuntu.
Probably you have an issue with taglib and it's explained here what to do.
Almost everything should also work with the addon and it has many advantages.

Thank you, yes I had the taglib paths borked. Fixed and compiled the latest fordo and libcmyth and everything is working great. Great job, so much easier than using mythfrontend.

We don't bring our own mysql lib anymore. You have to rerun the DownloadBuildDeps.bat in the project folder to get it.

Just confirming that I installed this yesterday and it works very well on a Mythbuntu 12.04 system with a mythtv 0.25 backend.

I am running an HDHR Prime 3 with a Verizon Fios Cable Card.
I am using Schedules Direct for my Fios TV guide.
I am using an HDHR dual connectec to my TV Antenna. ( Eventually I am going to turn off Fios, it costs way too much money.)


[1] How do I get the channel Icons to show up in XBMC?

[2] I also have a raspberrypi running Openelec with the MPEG2 license. It runs openelec's xbmc very well but does anyone here know how I can integrate the work you developers have done here into that project?

[3] Fios has some unusual channels, including Channel 1, identified as LOOR1 Local Origination. When I start up XBMC and it begins its EPG crawl it takes many minutes on this channel and maybe a few seconds on every other channel. I don't know if that is normal behavior or not. Any chance I can find a way to exclude getting EPG for that channel?
--------OK Figured this one out, the settings are in the channel manager.



Ok so here's what I found while testing this out:

[1] I still don't know how to get mythtv to provide the channel icons for my channels. I have 1600+ channels. Doing this manually is really not an option for this many. I don't know where mythtv scrapes the channel icons from, but that might be a good idea to add in the future. How did the Mythbox addon get the channel icons?

[2] When loading a channel from the EPG, everything runs nice, I can watch that channel for hours. If I press channel up or down, the channel changes (eventually, takes maybe 5-6 seconds) and will begin playing the new channel, the problem is that after about 15 seconds of playing the new channel XBMC will lock up and eventually crash.

Anyway to prevent this crashing?

My network is 1gbps, no wireless connections are used.

I'm seeing exactly the same problem, Frodo nightly and git addon versions from yesterday evening.

Any ideas janbar/cfetzer?

Curious, try to restart your backend MythTV. And also look in the mythbackend.log to see if myth hang with card input.

I will trying with the last commit of xbmc asap...

I tried that. It will connect and get EPG data just fine as well. My next step is to reboot, but that's a lengthy process as my linux server does a ton of stuff Smile

I just fixed it on my system Smile

I did two things:

1. It seems there's a bug in latest Mythbuntu, so every time you update (through Ubuntu Update Manager for example), MySQL access get's disabled for the Ethernet interfaces. Just enable access again in the Mythbuntu Control Centre.

2. I rebooted my Mythbuntu backend (easy for me, because I run it as a virtual machine in Parallels 8).

Hope this can help you too pgjensen Smile

Martin

meaning the mysql my.cnf file has the bind-address set as 127.0.0.1 and not the ip address? i disabled that altogether so it supports any iface

I use a mysql library for my xbmc boxes, and they can still connect to it, so I don't think that's it for me...

I think a reboot is in order Smile

Doing this manually is really not an option for this many. I don't know where mythtv scrapes the channel icons from, but that might be a good idea to add in the future. How did the Mythbox addon get the channel icons?

The addon should load the channel icons that you have specified in the backend (via channel editor in myth-setup).
Check if you have icon paths in the channel table. The loading of the images also might be a bit slow for such a huge amount of channels,
especially if you have a similar huge number of recordings.

Pastebin a debug log (with extra debug enabled), that might help to track down the problem.

Cheers,

Okay I have 2 XBMC installs and I didn't upgrade 1 of them, so I just tried it and that one won't work as well. I believe it's the backend that's screwed up. I will do a reboot tonight and ultimately upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 if I have to.

This add-on keeps getting better and better. Thanks so much to everyone, in particular janbar and cfetzer, for their hard work.

One feature I notice lacking, but have not seen discussed, regards seeking (more accurately, skipping ahead) in recordings that are not completed yet. In mythfrontend, the "end" of the recording is updated in real time, meaning that one can seek to anywhere between the beginning of the recording and "live." In xbmc, the "end" of the recording is set based on when playback began, meaning one cannot seek past this point, even as the recording grows.

Once playback reaches the supposed "end" of a recording, xbmc realizes that the recording is not actually over and adds a few seconds to recording, allowing playback to continue. It would be nice, though, to be able to jump forward to "live" at any time, though, as in mythfrontend.

The use case for this is: begin watching a sporting event an hour late. Skip commercials and inaction. After 30 minutes, you are 1 hour into the recording that is now actually 1 hour 30 minutes long. At this point, though, you can no longer skip inaction or commercials, because xbmc does not know where the recording ends.

Is this a feature we might see added? Thanks so much again!

Well, at this point the timeshift support is quite rudimentary and very new.
The issue you're describing doesn't need any justification. This is how users expect timeshifting to work.

But it is probably nothing that we can solve in the addon code, it's more the xbmc pvr code that needs some work. (which doesn't mean that we cannot help here.)
Right now, people got their hands full with getting their addons and frodo stable (and it's not only pvr that is new to frodo).
When this has settled, I'd expect more and more features and improvements beeing added to the pvr code.

Technically the issue sounds like the player simply doesn't get updates on the incresing file size.
Probably not much work, but it might require an addon api extension.

Cheers,
Christian

Christian, thanks for the quick reply. I'll check the the xbmc bug trac to see if this issue is raised there. If not, I'll file a bug and they can get to it when they get to it.
