[RELEASE] XBMC TV using MediaPortal TVserver (XBMP-TV Script)
#16
Hi,

a friend of mine compiled the XBMC with PVR unified, and it looks and feels amazing (he has a PVR-Linux Box, which could be connected to XBMC - Unified PVR, and everything is working fine...

Maybe the best afford would be, doing the PVR unified middle layer for MediaPortal?

i'm going to search the forum about more information... the most difficult part would be, that the unified PVR stuff is not a python plugin, and it's not compiled into the 9.11 Windows Version...

what do you think? maybe you do things, which will be obsolete soon?

best regards,

so if u could help me make it working it would be cool ,
thanx ,
greetings della chef

Your network is IPv6 (well, your router is), I think XBMC can't resolve the address and fails. I will try to fix it in my next release, hope to hear if it's working for you when it's released.

Create thinking, if you can give me some documentation (I was already looking for it) it should be great! The plugin for MediaPortal should already support ALL the functions MediaPortal has to offer. So yes pleas go for it!

Hello Spain! Great to hear, have fun using it! I will soon update the script (hopefully to support PVR unified)


_______________________
Note: For people which are having trouble playing a channel, it's all IP/hostname related (you probably have installed other network adapters (wifi + LAN or VMWare or a VPN connection). C# tries to get the IP address by sending a name lookup, but at the moment this fails on some PC's. I will rewrite this to get it working on more PC's.

[I think I emulate the MythTV layer Smile

XBMC can handle the MythTV Protocol. Since my plugin CAN emulate this, you won't have to install a XBMC plugin Smile AND it will always integrate nicely in any skin!

We can't use Unified PVR at the moment, since the project is "dead" (no active developers). Hope to get something working fast Smile]

Edit: Sad it isn't a protocol (though it's called a protocol)! It uses a DB connection (etc. etc.) to get it all working... Sucks big time!

That means there still isn't a way to integrate it without writing a script/plugin. It doesn't mean I can't find another way, but I searched for a nice way to integrate it in XBMC. XBMC has some great projects like unified PVR and the mythtv protocol that will allow me to integrate it in XBMC, but the mythtv protocol isn't a protocol, but a script and the unified PVR project is far from finished.

So I have to create a script my own (which will cost me loads of time).

Just to prevent double work (for a Unified PVR plugin), here a pre-announcement of my MediaPortal PVR plugin for XBMC (pvrtesting2 branch).

See my website for some screenshots and the current status:

Most things are working. I am currently testing and cleaning up my code to prepare a submission to alwinus for the pvrtesting branch.

Do you have any release date?

This will be a joyful day with all the plug-ins that are coming out for MediaPortal TVserver.

Maybe a race, the first one that brings MediaPortal TVserver to XBMC with al it glory. Just joking of course Big Grin, just waited a long time that this is happening and I think I am not alone on this.

After lurking the forum for rougly a year, I registered to say you're a god.

I've been fooling around with this because the analog cable signal where I live is _extremely_ poor, so I needed digital TV. Now the only possibility here is DVB-T, but that's all PayTV and needs CAM cards. My analog card would work under MythTV but a DVB-T tuner with CAM won't. I had to use MediaPortal, but then XBMC wouldn't support that. Only solution I could come up with was a set-top box, controlled by a MythTV box running Linux (as it can't connect to PCI cards while running from a VM, it had to be a physical second machine), then transport that output to the Linux box over composite, and then over the net to xbmc. This offcourse sucks.

Well anyway, not too interesting. I can't test this stuff right now as I don't have a normal PC around anymore (only laptops) where I can plug in a tuner. In about a week, I'm getting myself a new HTPC and this plugin will be the first thing I'm going to test. As I'm a Python developer, I might be able to help you out where necessary.


Edit: I see it's running in the Confluenze skin, that's sweet!

I will try to put my patches (against a specific svn version of the pvrtesting2 branch) online within one week.

They are not yet suitable for the latest version because I'm having problems with the recent ffmpeg update in svn Sad. The previous version (also used for 9.11) had no sound for the MediaPortal rtsp streams (which I could fix with a small patch), but now I see that streams sometimes start and sometimes just don't play but do after a retry.
