[RELEASE] Myth2XBMC Script for Xbox (Stream Live TV from MythTV to XBMC for Xbox)

first of all nice work,

I'm getting troubles with the script and my mysql database on a xbox, it says something like database connection failed unable to continue, but I check the same configuration information and it works from mythbox script on a windows box, where i can check logs?

Change the logLevel in default.py. Probably want to set
logLevel = mythutil.LOG_MYTH | mythutil.LOG_GUI

Then look in myth2xbmc.log in the myth2xbmc directory.

I think the mysql client version is the problem, the log says:

DEBUG:root:[30] 2008-02-03 01:53:58.722000 myth.Database.initialize() ERROR: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
DEBUG:root:[29] 2008-02-03 01:53:58.728000 < myth.Database.initialize()
DEBUG:root:[29] 2008-02-03 01:54:00.718000 MythMain.refresh ERROR: conn

I'm using mysql 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1 as database, do you know if there is an updated py client?

After some googling i've find that is a password version problem, to resolve the issue i've modified user password with the following mysql command:

SET PASSWORD FOR '<xbmc_user>'@'%' = OLD_PASSWORD('<xbmc_password>');

And it start working

Upss another problem, Live Tv seems not working properly, and tv guide also, i get this on myth2xbmc log:

any idea?

After i manually adjust the numbers, the program details are available in live TV but not in the guide. Strange.

For jurr's problem, I am guessing that no channels were found. The log should show you what the SQL response was for the SQL query:
SELECT
c.chanid as chanid,
c.channum as channum,
c.callsign as callsign,
c.name as name,
c.icon as icon
FROM
channel c
WHERE
c.channum IS NOT NULL
AND c.channum != ""
AND c.visible = 1
ORDER BY
c.chanid

Try turning on logging by editing default.py:

logLevel = mythutil.LOG_MYTH | mythutil.LOG_GUI

and see if there is an error.

hello teresa,

The sql query returns all my channels, but yesterday i change the channel num because i had change them to put in order. I put as channel number the channel id and then i substract 1000. And with this change the guide data works fine . Also the live tv start working but it seems that when i click on the remote controller the stop button the tv turner still recording and i need to restart mythbackend to free the turner, but if i click on the next button it stop fine. Any idea?
One final question, Are you planning to add the record options that mythtv has? i.e. record allways, record one weekly,...

Thanks in advance

The stop button works fine for me for stopping the recording so not sure what is happening with your setup. Check the log for any errors.

There already is functionality for the recording options.... but I don't use it. I use MythWeb on my laptop for scheduling recordings... I find it much easier.
