Testing help needed for Myth 0.25 support

Wife is watching American Idol from Fox, am getting a little bit of jumpiness..

Code:

I know Fox uses a specific modulator which local affiliates are supposed to use but which gave VDR/VNSI a problem. I got this if I use it OTA or using Clear Qam with DD 5.1 passthrough. I will try other stations and see if it's Fox specific or also on other Networks, or just out local affiliate. I don't get any noticeable problems when playing back through mythfrontend.

Sorry, I am out - not experienced enough to compile your code with pvr support. Will look at downgrading Myth on Ubuntu 12.04 instead. Good luck with the changes.

Cheers

Looks like live tv doesn't list any of my analog channels? Only the qam/atsc channels are listed. I use and HVR-1600 connected to a Comcast DTA for the cable channels..

What is the difference between this and the tsp version I am currently using in terms of functionality? apart from the 0.25 support?

bilbonvidia · 2012-04-20 21:02

I have done a git clone of https://github.com/dteirney/xbmc.git but how do I compile and install the 0.25 branch?

rdoac · 2012-04-20 21:25

See post #35

Thanks for helping a total beginner, I had actually even read that post.

So now that I have installed it, is it right that there is no PVR functionality? No enable LIve tv under settings and I need too add a myth source which I have done or am I able to install a pvr add on?

rdoac · 2012-04-20 23:29

Yes, it's not the pvr branch. I think the plan is to get cmyth working, then send the changes back to the main source, then that will get merged into the pvr branch.

I'm not sure how MythBox communicates with mythbackend. For a while it used to use some of the internal myth:// protocol handling, but perhaps not any longer.

@mzanetti - did you manage to find the configuration setting to check that delete is working as expected?

@ixian - have you been able to get anything working?

@cspack - have you been able to get anything working?

@pyrodex - can you confirm that things appear to be working?

@takiaine - did you manage to get playback of recordings to work?

@rdoac - can you please post a debug log and make sure you open the Live TV folder for myth:// and I'll see if there is anything obvious that might be related to some channels not appearing.

In general it doesn't seem like anything is horribly broken. Live TV has never had seeking support through the myth:// protocol which explains why people are not seeing that functionality with the Myth 0.25 support related changes. I will check some of the Live TV areas some more to see if there is something that has been missed though.
