ok, found out...
XBMC_MPTV.vcproj was missing ..\..\..\..\..\addons\org.xbmc.addon.library\dlfcn-win32.cpp as a source file, and that's why it was not linking
i added it and now it built perfectly, but i still have to test it to see if it really works

[succo]

no, it doesn't
it throws an error like

I'm experiencing the same issue. It is a memory corruption issue introduced with the changeset r28365 "Create helper addon libraries as dll and load them during runtime".

Alwinus changed the addon libraries to dll's. This works fine for Linux and I fixed the Windows build for them, but somehow this change results in the memory corruptions you (and I) are experiencing during the settings retrieval of 'resolvertsphostname'. I'm not sure yet whether this is a bug in my MP PVR addon or common for all PVR addons under Windows. I'm still working on this...

In my local development version, I've changed these libraries temporarely back to static ones, which give me a working MediaPortal PVR client again without the exception.

I will make a patch with this workaround and put it on my website soon (in a few days), together with a new Windows setup...

[margro]

I've updated the TV Server plugin and the prebuild Windows XBMC-PVR setup (with a new version of my MediaPortal PVR addon). See my website for the details and download links.

Changes TVServer python plugin:

• XBMC 10.x support added
  
• Various fixes to the recordings list
  
• Support for recording playback via rtsp and direct local file playback added
  

Changes XBMC-PVR Windows setup:

• Upgrade to current SVN head of pvr-testing2 (r30240)
  
• FFmpeg libraries updated to XBMC trunk version which speed up live-tv playback and contains now DXVA2 support (required still some hacks for rtsp playback of recordings)
  
• MediaPortal PVR addon: allow direct playback of recordings (rtsp streaming now optional)
  
• MediaPortal PVR addon: fix time offset due to daylight saving
  

Remark 1: The Windows setup from r30240 on my website contains local fixes not yet submitted to Team XBMC. I will submit these patches later. Need some time to clean them up.
Remark 2: The plugin/script part is the new XBMC addons framework, so to use plugins/scripts, you will need updated versions of them (with description.xml files).

Margro;

Can't wait to get home and try out these new versions. Does the upgrade of the FFmpeg libraries mean that passthrough of DD and DTS will work now? (Didn't work in your r27611 build as i remember) Also, does "breaks backward compatibility for PVR addon older than v1.0.7.24!!" mean that my old r27611 will not work after a serverside upgrade? (No big deal if not...)

Huge thank you for the great work you put in to this Margro.

Best Regards

Lengis

Does the upgrade of the FFmpeg libraries mean that passthrough of DD and DTS will work now?

If it was fixed in the XBMC trunk before Alwinus did his last trunk merge (so before r29788), then probably yes...

Also, does "breaks backward compatibility for PVR addon older than v1.0.7.24!!" mean that my old r27611 will not work after a serverside upgrade? (No big deal

Well, most things will continue to work, but I fixed a bug in the "Timers" part at both sides, so I expect that only the "Timers" part won't work properly after the upgrade. In case the new version gives problems, I can backport the PVR fixes to r27611 and put a new PVR addon online.

Ok, anyone gotten tv to work with r30240? I have upgraded my MP TV server to RC3 and the new XBMC Server plugin 1.0.7.24. Whenever i try to start a tv-channel i get "channel cannot be played". The serverside seems to be ok, everything works as expected from the MP client and my old r27611 rig.

Enclosing log file if someone wants to have a look.

Any help on this would be great, i'm lost atm

Ok, I've checked your log file and I can see multiple problems.
With respect to the playback of the live-stream, it seems that something throws an exception in the ffmpeg demuxer. Will try to figure out where this exception occurs. The server side seems indeed ok at that point.
Do you know which audio/video codecs are needed for the chosen channel? You can check this for the rtsp stream in VLC for example.

Two other things that I saw in your logfile (not related to live tv playback)

• Problems with the XBMC mytv4.db database for storing EPG items. You should remove the existing mytv4.db file (in userdata/database or in your master profile dir).
  
• TVServerXBMC is too old according to the log file: "Warning: Your TVServerXBMC version '1.0.7.0' is too old. Please upgrade to 1.0.7.24 or higher!". Can be that my check is wrong or are you indeed running an older TVServerXBMC version?
  

Thanks for posting your logfile.

Hallo erstmal und vielen Dank für Ihre großartige Arbeit!

in der neusten Version läuft ihr Plugin hervorragend. Allerdings habe ich dann leider keine Hintergründe. Gibt es vielleicht einen Weg den TV Knopf in eine funktionierende Version einzubauen oder habe ich einfach etwas falsch gemacht?

Vielen Dank nochmal

Migo

Hello first times and thank you for your great work!
In the newest version the Plugin runs outstanding. However I have unfortunately no background then. Perhaps there is a way to build the TV button into a functioning version or do I made simply something wrong?

Thanks a lot

Migo

PS: Sorry for the bad english. It wasnt me... it was babelfish

Hi Marcel

I have exactly the same versions and problems:

- i too get that message about a too old tvserverxbmc version.. i've verified that the dll used by tvserver has the correct new version.
- i too get an exception thrown by the demuxer

this is a clean install of your pvr build and tvserver rc3!

greets

marcel ( no joke :-) )

Do you know which audio/video codecs are needed for the chosen channel? You can check this for the rtsp stream in VLC for example.

I guess it's mpeg2 since it's standard SD tv, will give it a try with VLC and see if i can find out for sure. But i also tried the only HD channel i got and get the same error, pretty sure the HD stuff is x.264.

Two other things that I saw in your logfile (not related to live tv playback)

• Problems with the XBMC mytv4.db database for storing EPG items. You should remove the existing mytv4.db file (in userdata/database or in your master profile dir).

I noticed this in the log myself. I actually tried to delete the mytv4.db but the problem reoccurs with a new fresh db.
I've tried the TVServerXBMC from the "standalone" download and the one included in r30240, same "too old" stuff in the log... Guess it's minor issue at this point...

Btw, i managed to get playback to work once after changing the render method from auto to standard. But only once.

Been testing this from a crappy old laptop with Intel 945 GPU, will give it a try with a fresh install on a more current box asap.

Marcel, thanks for looking in to this.

[hansdampf]

is it, with this version, possible to watch two different channels on two xbmc clients without kicking the first client?

[lengis]

According to VLC its mpgv/mpga (SD channel).

Did a fresh install on my most recent laptop, exactly the same issue

Not yet. Still on my todo list to adapt the TVServerXBMC code to stop only the timeshift if no other client is using it and only stop the timeshift of the selected channel, not all channels.
