I've just pushed up the likely fix for that. If the char array pointers were NULL the constructor for the CStdString is probably segfaulting.

I have tried that and it still segfaults:

Edit: just tried a clean build and still getting the same result.

I'm out of my depth with this but i will try and have a look early next week.

to check what was being passed I added this to client.cpp line 532:

Code:

XBMC->Log(LOG_DEBUG, "%s - channelUid=%d title=%s summary=%s", __FUNCTION__, timer.iClientChannelUid, timer.strTitle, timer.strSummary);

log output:

I am going to try a clean build.

Take 2 just pushed up. I've had problems with segfault when allocating directly to CStdString objects in a struct, but are fine if done through an intermediate CStdString. Not sure why, but give that a go.

Take 3 just pushed up. Too much cut and paste late at night. memsetting over those CStdString objects that had already been initialized in the constructor for the struct would have caused mayhem.

The last commit fixed setting timers segfaulting.

experience so far:

Setting timers adds the database entry but something is missing as the the recording doesnt happen. mythfrontend reports that no episodes are available.

The description for the recording is also the time and date.

The database doent update once a timer is set.

xbmc wont allow the timers to be deleted.

I am still testing these. once i have enough information i will post logs and helpful information.

I run a split backend / frontend MythTV configuration which is working fine,
but for some reason the XBMC-PVR frontend is having a problem playing any of my channels which use a cam. I've tried increasing the timeout to the maximum of 30 but still no joy.

I'm not sure how the XBMC-PVR MythTV PVR client works out when there is a channel lock,
but I have noticed that when using MythTV as a client, channels that use a cam show a lock as LMSC (Instead of LMS).

Is there any way to show the lock information in XBMC ?

Well, I've just added a few more channels to my MythBackend and noticed that it wasn't just channels that used a CAM that wouldn't play on XBMC,
BBC HD and BBC 1 HD don't seem to work either along with a few other 'in the clear' non HD channels.

I'll try capture some logs tomorrow

I'm back after being on holiday for 5 weeks followed by another couple to catch up on life back in Auckland and a lot has changed in MythTV Addon land.

tsp42 has spent a bunch of time doing some work on a MythTV Add-On that solely uses libcmyth for the communication to the backend.

Given that the MythXML API is going to be completely changed for Myth 0.25 that is probably the right road to take, at least for the moment.

The Addon that tsp42 has been working on has the timers working correctly along with all the functionality that was in the Addon in my tree.

I'll spend some time in the coming weeks having a look at how I can help tsp42's addon work more stably and support Myth 0.25 going forward (as libcmyth will need to be updated to support 0.25).

I believe that there should just be a single MythTV Addon so any development resource that is willing to work on it helps push the MythTV integration further along.

I'll post more details here once I've talked with tsp42.
