Try the read-only github URL. That other one is the read-write one and maybe it needs some other permissions setup.

Code:

git clone git://github.com/dteirney/xbmc.git

git checkout mythtv-usb

./bootstrap

./configure

make

Progress report :

no getting much luck getting xbmc to run in a vm because of opengl.

./configure --disable-gl isn;t working yet.

Still working on that, might have to get a dev box running.

dteirney,

Just a head's up.

Still haven't had the time to run the new app with gl (life in the way)

But the previous patch still works pretty well regardless. I compiled it in my openelec project and it's still ticking, no issues so far, even that "bug" I was talking about seems to have been a fluke or something.

Openelec seems to have switched ffmpeg versions and refactored vdpau and it's been rather solid I must say.

Ok, so I got a vm running that can launch xbmc.

http://pastebin.com/0mUCM4q8

It didn't play the live stream though, debug was on.

Going to try in 32bit, the bootstrap failed laoding libdvdnav in 64bit precise, so I'll try a 32bit vm next just to make sure.

Other videos played "fine" though...

keep in touch!

Ok, so I tried it again, and I think my tuner was in use before, so that's why it didn't work (Should have checked)

The log is pretty huge, can't pastebin it.

Here it is.

For some reason, I can only get xbmc with video working on 64bit vm's.... Whatever.

Important thing is that I have an environment to check this out now.

Hope you see what you're looking for in the log!

Hi,

I have got you mythtv-usb branch compiled and running in the debugger under Visual Studio 2010,

When I try to view a live TV channel I get an Access Exception and the debugger breaks at line 178 of DllLibCMyth.h - the definition of spawn_live_tv

Code:

DEFINE_METHOD7(cmyth_recorder_t,    spawn_live_tv,            (cmyth_recorder_t p1, unsigned p2, int p3, void (*p4)(cmyth_proginfo_t), char ** p5, char * p6, cmyth_database_t p7))

A log can be found at http://pastebin.com/1RDN3KCY

Let me know if you need any more information

Thanks for the log files. I will have a look at them later this week.

hey dtierney

Did you find what you were looking for in the logs?

**dteirney** · 2012-06-17 11:11

I have had a look at the log files. There are still lots of DEBUG messages that need to be turned off so I'll look into that some more after I've got some more of the XBMC version of libcmyth lined up with the upstream version of libcmyth.

@gezb, could you try a make clean and a full rebuild and see if that changes anything.

Use MythTV for recording TV? Try the integrated MythTV support in XBMC Media Center. Now with commercial skip support built-in and integration with the Movie database!
