Testing help needed for Myth 0.25 support

So I was able to get an environment up to test 0.25 DLL and so far from my testing (little) LiveTV works and I was able to pause but the seeking back/forward doesn't seem to work when there is enough buffer to do those functions. I will test later tonight but so far LiveTV broke for me off the bat when I went from 0.24->0.25.

I am testing the code with myth:// protocol and I am having hard time getting things working. However I might also have some issues with the mythtv setup because I just reinstalled everything and also changed platform from ubuntu to arch. So just to let you know that if something looks weard it might also be because of my setup

Quote:General listing of recordings.

-I am able to see the recordings but there are no preview images.

Quote:Playback works correctly.

-I am not able to playback any of my recordings. Sometimes there is an error "Playback failed. One or more items failed to play. Check the log file for details."
-Here is the xbmc.log while trying to play recordings http://pastebin.com/HWV84heE

Quote:LiveTV works (or at least not worse than it can sometimes be)

-Listing of channels work correctly and also the current programs are shown on the listing.
-I am able to watch live tv. Stop, pause, play and fast forward works.
-When I try to rewind it starts fast forwarding.
-Skipping seems to be also broken for me.

Can you please check the configuration of MythTV and XBMC using the information provided at http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=MythTV#Setup

Code:

extern int/*or char*?*/ cmyth_proginfo_episode(cmyth_proginfo_t prog);
extern int/*or char*?*/ cmyth_proginfo_season(cmyth_proginfo_t prog);

That should already be in the changes that have been made. There's also one for the new inetref, but not sure what that would be used for.

Hmm... I miss the delete entry in the context menu. Should that be there?

> LiveTV works (or at least not worse than it can sometimes be)
LiveTV works, including pausing. However, seeking seems not to work.It just doesn't do anything when trying to skip +30 secs after having paused LiveTV for about a minute. Should that work or is it disabled?

> Whatever else you have time to have a look at.
Seems to work quite well. Not sure if the guide should be able to start live TV. That doesn't work. Here's the log: http://pastebin.com/xyCEkL6r

Thanks for testing. There are notes in http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=MythTV about how to configure XBMC so delete of recordings can be enabled.

I hardly ever use LiveTV and don't think it even supports seeking using myth://

The Guide in myth:// is not particularly useful. It's a static list of content like an EPG. The display in the PVR Addon will be much more useful.

I've just tried to copy libcmyth built from your branch to an installation of tsp's PVR branch. That doesn't work because of some API change. So I guess the easiest way to get tsp's branch working with 0.25, is to apply manually the last 8 commits to tsp's codebase. The patch for protocol 67 conflicts on a first try but I guess it shouldn't be too hard to integrate it. Didn't try it so far as I've been busy with other things yesterday.

tsp may have made some tweaks to libcmyth through his work on the addon. Once I get enough people to confirm that everything is working the changes will get committed to XBMC master. Those changes will then ripple through to opdenkamps PVR repository and then to tsps repository.

The patches should be pretty straight forward to apply. You will need to apply all of them for Myth 0.25 to work correctly.

Another option would be to add my myth-025 branch as a remote and pull the changes in from there.

That is the INTERNET REFERENCE ID which is basically the custom ID you can give to a recording profile that links it to thetvdb.com ID.

Hmmm still getting protocol issues??

07:12:05 T:2929036144 ERROR: (cmyth)cmyth_conn_connect: failed to connect with any version

How do I check which version I'm running, did a git clone but maybe it's set to the wrong branch?

Rdoac: it is not an error. Livcmyth uses the return message to determine the mythtv version. You could say that the error is that it is reported as an error.

Ok, but it says it's unplayable and returns to the menu..
