I've set up a Myth video source and things seem to be working from a UI standpoint, but I'm having issues with playback. It stutters and eventually freezes. This happens with both Live TV and recordings. I have no issues playing other sources and playback is smooth with mythfrontend. Here is some of the log file.

Code:

Can you please pastebin the full debug log.

Also, can you copy a recording that isn't working to a network location you can access from XBMC and try playing it directly over the network (or from the local filesystem) and let me know how that goes. That will help determine if it's a problem with playback within XBMC or the transmission of content via the myth:// protocol.

@dteirney

Here is a full debug log when trying to seek in live tv.

http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=1821

In this example I also went into a recording and tested seeking which worked fine as expected.

I have managed to solve couple errors, but I am still not able to get the recordings to play. The log file also looks a bit strange when I am trying to play recordings. Here are couple interesting parts of the log file.

Code:

In the first part, cmyth is getting the channel icons which works correctly. In lower part, cmyth is trying to get the preview image for a recording and then tries to play the file. For some reason the ip address that cmyth is trying to contact when playing the file is "[" and not "127.0.0.1" as it should be. I am starting to run out of ideas that might cause this issue.

Full log.

Here's a full debug log from playing a recording through the myth:// protocol: Pastebin. If I play the same file from a samba share over the network it plays without stuttering.

EDIT: I noticed this message in the mythbackend log file on my backend server. Not sure if it's important but it comes up before selecting a recording for playback, not during playback:

2012-04-22 14:20:08.018795 C [1765/2281] ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1259 (HandleVersion) - MainServer::HandleVersion - Client speaks protocol version 8 but we speak 72!

Thanks for the log. Can you also post a log file with playback over SMB so I can compare. I might need to make some changes to CMythFile for some new caching stuff that seems to have been implemented. Have you been able to playback some of these recordings fine with Myth 0.24 or are these recordings fresh with Myth 0.25?

That error message in the mythbackend.log file is fine. We use a protocol version 8 message to determine what protocol the server actually supports - hence the error message.

That is mighty bizarre. I can't see how that is happening in the code either. Can you please try the actual IP address of the local machine and see if that changes anything. I'm only guessing that localhost is being treated strangely somewhere. Will need some time to sort it out though. If an IP address other than the loopback address works that will help narrow down the problem space.

Also, try a "make clean" and then make everything again to make sure there aren't any stale built files floating around. That variable is only written to in one place. It's like the memory is being corrupted or something.

Here is a log for my xbmc setup missing analog hvr1600 channels..

http://pastebin.com/4cxDWJ4z

As an added, digital channels are all things like 3.1, 3.2, 11.1 11.2 etc while analog channels are 3, 4, 5, 6 etc..

Only the digital ones show up in a list.

Thanks for the help dteirney! I finally got the recordings working. The error had something to do with ipv6 protocol that was added in myth 0.25. I noticed that when I changed the ipv6 address in mythtv-setup also the error message in xbmc.log changed so that ip address that used to show as "[" now showed "[fe80:" that was also the beginning part of my ipv6 address in mythtv-setup. After that I disabled ipv6 complitely on my computer [link] and now I am able to play recordings correctly.

I did not configure ipv6 in anyway on my computer so I am not sure if it is even supposed to work. When I have some extra time I can try to configure ipv6 correctly on my machine and see if I am able to get the recordigns to play. Anyway, here is the information that you were after...

Quote:General listing of recordings.
OK. I tested different settings and everything seems to be working correctly.
Quote:Confirm that the recording information appears to be accurate.
OK. However there is this extra string after recording name "(x)". The same thing that mzanetti noticed previously.
Quote:File length is reported as expected (or at least not worse than it can sometimes be).
OK.
Quote:Playback works correctly.
OK.
Quote:Seeking works correctly.
OK.
Quote:Deleting recordings still works.
OK.
Quote:LiveTV works (or at least not worse than it can sometimes be)
I have the same problems as previously.
