[RELEASE] myTV - TV Guide Script (with pluginsnew script)

maybe this can help (not sure):

http://www.download.com/titan-tv/3000-11...45889.html

looks like titantv wrote a plug-in for mce.

bbb, would it be possible to add more options to the description of a program, so say, you could press a to go to the description, then optionally, x to record, y to playback by smb, a to close again?

the actions would prolly be different for every users setup as to how they achieve record/playback but maybe if they could be assigned an action that might make it more flexible?

playback would require live streaming and recording would be dependant on external devices.
what would your record/playback commands be ?

for record i use(d) my nebula card in my pc, and for playback i use the playback by smb option, i was just thinking these could be better invoked from a more streamlined menu then having to goto the much bigger one, and its more intuitive to press a on a program then easily be able to record or play it from there, kind of like how sky+ works if you've ever used it.

Just a quick note - if using ratiotimes as a source, film4 is now on ID 160 (so 160,Film4 needs to go in your radiotimes.dat file),

the logo can be found here and needs to be saved in the logos directory:

and if using nebula scheduling - you need to add the following lines at the start *** see note at end however ***

'FILM4':'31',
'FILM 4':'31',

Note: for some odd reason the nebula webinterface really doesnt like setting of film4 recordings - not sure what is up, and have reported to nebula - it maybe my setup, but causes lockups on the host pc...

anyway, hope if works for you !

Thanks jj. I'm currently (slowly as work is busy) working on a maint. release to catchup with all the xbmc changes and fixing some broken datasources (eg. tvnu).
It will include the updated RT list and logos.

I you think your datasource is broken, please let me know (PM or mail) and I'll try and fix it.

Hum.. .ive had a quick scan of the data source and cant see anything wrong with the info its getting... (Ive pm'd the channel dat file).

Can you let me know how to switch the debug on so that i can log the http request its sending.. coz if thats fine.. its the server softwares issue..

Note to self.. make sure format is consistant:

LCN codes in nebula plugin shuld be as follows:

'FILM4':'031',
'FILM 4':'031',

put 'FILMFOUR':'031' as a general catch all as well in case, as name does seem to differe depending on where you look !.

Thsi BTW - fixes all the issues with setting recordings on film4 - cheers BBB

just a couple of thoughts on possible additions to the script which maybe reasonable (hoping you have time etc... I may have a play around myself as well...)

- context sensitive menu's for deleting scheduled recordings - not sure if possible (if programe is currently highlighted is set to record, 2nd option in main menu is to remove timer...)
- removing excess keypresses, eg. after setting a recording having to press a button to exit the menu seems like it could be removed

and one i've just found out about...

- instead of setting recording - 2nd option to set a reminder using the XBMC.AlarmClock(name,command,time) function. I dont know much about it - and the manual doesnt say much, but could be interesting eg. watching a movie and a pop up appeard / dialog box - XXX prog name has started on channel XXX. Dont know how far this could go - but if watching a video - could set a bookmark to help resume watching when you've finished....

ps.. have you thought about seeing if the devs are interested in translating this scipt so that its an integral part of xbmc, with the source filters / tv plugins as addins which can be easily updated - eg. imdb parser ?. Just wondering !

You my guess that I've had a quiet weekend this one and that my brain is working overload... if these could be incorporated into the next release that would be great...

I'd like to incorporate a shutdown in the digitv plugin & submenu which unfortunatley is now a bit beyond me.. tried butchering the plugin - but its layout and level is above me...

Rename plugin to 'Manage DigiTV' and add the following options in the menu after view/delete timers and recordings..

Shutdown host Server - would call: http://87.81.181.6:2880/status.htm?Power=133 - possibly needs a confirm dialog though !!



In delete files - is it possible for the plugin to re-poll the server for a filelisting between deleting multiple files ?, ive noticed that sometimes files are not deleted, and I guess its because their file listing ID's are not updated when you are still withing the delete files submenu display ? - hope this makes sense ?

as always, cheers for a great script - and you're openess to new ideas and stuff
