does the latest version not work for you? (use the iphone interface)
other than full screen not working yet

Not sure which is the latest version (2.1.1 is what I am running)? I factory reset my Xoom so I am back on Honeycomb Android (3.2.6 I believe). I am not able to get it to play with the default browser. Chrome Beta will not work on the Honeycomb, only Ice Cream Sandwich.

**EDIT** Tried with my cell phone, which has ICS, it also doesn't work? My phone has ICS, but I can't get Chrome Browser to install. So, also using default browser.

**EDIT #2** I updated to version 2.1.3, same issue. However, when I launch RemoteCeton, it says I am on version 2.1.0, the web interface also says the same?

Is there an IRC channel for this project?

I can confirm it works on Xoom ICS 4.0.4, using default browser and MX Video Player to play the video.

Only the VLC interface is usable, also on Windows, the flash player cannot be maximized and the interface can't be navigated on android since it requires keys, touch won't switch channels.

The iphone interface on android is very slow and video won't play.

I can't get the logos to show for the life of me.

This is what my file structure looks like:

remoteCeton\resources:
<logos>
affiliates.xml
channelmap.csv
epgdata.db
logomapper.exe
logos.xml
mc2xml.dat
mc2xml.exe
xmltv.xml

Everything works except the logos are not showing.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Can I add a feature request? Can you add a timestamp to the remotecenton app? Not sure if this would be hard or not but useful for me.

The first error prevented the script from running at all and involved adding some code to Overlay.py (and removing json from the import line located below my code). When importing json library we need to add compatibility to different versions of Python by using this code (in bold)

Code:

...
import xbmc, xbmcgui, xbmcaddon
import time, threading[b]
try: import simplejson as json
except ImportError: import json[/b]
import urllib2, csv, os.path
...

The second issue is that the epg locks up completely and doesnt allow any keyboard input causing me to force quit xbmc... error log says there is an attribute error on line 408 of EPGWindow.py

Im gonna continue looking into issue 2 to see if I can solve it.


EDIT:
These errors in this post seem to be only occuring on Dharma on now both windows and ubuntu but on my other windows box running eden does not have these issues...

Good work gentlemen, it's wonderful that you have the ceton up and running within xbmc. More than wonderful, because I can not get it working in VDR or tvheadend. When I downloaded the latest 2.13 I noticed some dll's and .exe files. Is there a ubuntu version? Or is it a custom beta build? I have Ubuntu 11.10 and eden 11.0 currently installed. I can stream directly from the card using mplayer on the same machine, but having problems with channels, epg and streaming using xbmc. Once again fantastic work.

Hello,

I am getting error 10061 after following your guide and I am not too sure what I can do to diagnose what is going on.

Thanks

Is there still work going on with this project? I am getting ready to order one of the Ceton Infinitv tuners, but would like to make sure I will actually be able to use it.

@shpitz461: Video is smooth now using flash. But the problem is the interface is too slow to use on the regular browser and chrome doesnt support flash
I might have to backtrack to see what was the latest version that was still working with android...

@jfoley: iPhone interface is http://<ip address>:8555/m/iphone.html but its not usable right now (look at comment to shpitz461)
I'll add timestamps to the output.

@speed32219: currently the server is windows only. but the server can send video/epg data to a ubuntu client.

@FantaXP7: I'm guessing that shows up on the console. Can you give me a few lines before and after the error message?

@uspino: GoodPlayer updated their player. so if you want we can integrate the iphone app to automatically open goodplayer after you select a channel.
i have a test interface that works with it.

other changes: reduced start time of iOS streaming to 5 seconds (down from 10 seconds)

EDIT: last working android version was 1.7.4 ... will continue in a little bit...
EDIT2: k.. i think i solved it...

EDIT3: uploading.... try this on chrome since the regular android browser is too slow
v2.1.4: http://www.mediafire.com/?i9r5ktizbzn3xc9

EDIT4: adding timestamp and parameter checks for new hls commands

v2.1.5: http://www.mediafire.com/?7ijh491wgzsxa0g

What do you think the timeline is for the recording tv option. I really would like to switch to xbmc but until I can record, I just can't do it.
