cyber -
just checked out the latest from cvs. looks like the patches for replaytv have been integrated.
compiled fine. copied to xbox. selected videos->replaytv ... and found the name of my rptv box. selected that and like you, it freezes. nada.

i made no changes to any of the xml files.

also, i noticed shoutcast doesn't work anymore. it did in a previous release.

rptvguy ... have you test the cvs release and got it working ? if so, then i must be missing something on the install.

awsome!!!!! --- got rptv to work!!!

all ... finally got rptv video to work ... and it works great!!!

got the <path>rtv://<your rptv ip address>/video</path> to work in the xboxmediacenter.xml file.  this shows a listing of filenames (you must guess as to what the content is upon selection) so identifying a specific recording is tough. but it plays beautifully!!!

i have 4505 rptv, so this may be a reason why i can't use the other settings -- rptvguy
cyber- didn't you mention you have a 4k series too ?

i'd be glad to try to implement replay guide viewing for the 4k
series.

anyway -- great job rptvguy -- and great job to the authors of xbmc -- i'm considering buying another xbox instead of a dvd player for the other networked rooms!!

dinzdale, good to hear you got it working. unfortunately, i get lockups with every option in the .xml file. some details:

- "rtv://*/" will find my replay, but freezes after selecting it.

- "rtv://*/video" same results as above.

- "rtv://<replay ip>/" freezes when the replaytv icon is selected.

- "rtv://<replay ip>/video" same as above

i tried intentionally entering the wrong ip in the config file, and although it seemed to lock up, it generated an empy directory (".." being the only choice") after about a minute.i have a 5040 which works fine with dvarchive, so i'm not sure where the problem is. certainly could be a cvs issue, although i'm able to compile just fine.

rtvguy, if you have any suggestions or things we should try, let me know. i appreciate all your work on this so far, i'm excited to get it working!

[dinzdale]

daytwa:

  here are some suggestions that might help...

1) i checked out the cvs version as of last night 2/03 about 19:30 est. that is what i am using. try checking out the code again from cvs into a new clean/virgin development area. you'll find you do not need to apply any patches -- rptv has been fully integrated. all you should need to do is compile.

2) don't change anything in the xboxmediacenter.xml except for the rptv entry, using the <ip address>/video entry.

3) when moving to the xbox -- make sure everything is being moved! i'm just using the windows explorer to ftp the files over, but have found it can't handle directories/folders nested more than 1 - 2 levels deep. in this case, i manually create the folders so i don't ftp more than 1 level deep over. most directories within this application don't go more than 3 levels deep. it may also have to do with the xbox ftp server, or the volume of files i'm trying to copy at one time.

4) also, you must be using the latest xdk!!! it says so in the directions on building xbmc (57 or 59 something -- i can look it up later)! i'm not sure if you'll see compile or link errors when using an older version.

good luck, and don't give up!

dinzdale: omg!! you slut! j/k

glad to hear, come to think of it i didn't try that after making changes and stuff... always tried the rtv://*/ & rtv://*/video, i will try what you suggested.

and yes i do have a 4504, so hopefully this will work.

rtvguy: they have integrated some logging features into xbmc you think you could look into those features and add some logging routines into the rtvclass so we can figure all these little bugs?

i will be testing this first thing when i get home tonight.

[cyberplague]

actually, it looks pretty easy to add logging, i may just add it myself if rtvguy is too busy....

so much to do so little time...

weeee

dinzdale:

thanks for the suggestions. i do have the "latest" cvs with rtv integrated, and a virgin dev area. i haven't checked to see if all the files copied, i'll try that next.

cyberplague:

if you happen to get logging implemented, can you let me know? i'd love to see what's happening as well.

[cyberplague]

daytwa - yes i will post here when/if i get it integrated with links to the modified files.

cp

[cyberplague]

i tried putting the ip in, still a no go. not sure what the deal is.

later today i am going to add logging in the rtv class unless rtvguy shows up and has it done already... =p

i will keep ya posted.

i haven't gotten around to testing the cvs build yet, but it's on the list. do feel free to add logging code if you want. i hope to get some time to look into these problems very soon.

with regard to 4k support, i tried testing 4k guide parsing with a 5k guide.dat that i had manually converted to 4k format. the formats aren't that different; however, i may have missed something. the guide parsing part of the patch is a fairly straightforward merger of the sources of lee thompson's guideparser for the various replaytv platforms. it has been stripped down some for our purposes, but i tried really hard to leave the important stuff intact since guideparser is tried and true. it is possible i made a stupid mistake somewhere, however. i would appreciate it if someone who is having these problemns with a 4k could email a 4k format guide.dat (use replaypc to get it from your replaytv) to [email="rtvguy@users.sourceforge.net"]rtvguy@users.sourceforge.net[/email] .

for those of you with a 5k and problems, remember to try toggling the stack/unstack button to "unstack" in xbmc. as of the last time i checked, the "stack" feature caused a lockup here too.

[jeffscott72]

i have two 5040s and i have to use the /video option or it freezes. it doesn't matter with it is on the stack or unstack setting.

[rtvguy]

i have two 5040s and i have to use the /video option or it freezes. it doesn't matter with it is on the stack or unstack setting.

do you record "my big fat obnoxious fiance" on either or both of them? it's just a theory at this point but after looking at a non-working 4k guide.dat i'm wondering if there may be some issue with the accented e in the title. i.e., there may be some characters that are invalid for the xbmc listing format.

[cyberplague]

rtvguy - i guess you got my guide.dat i sent, yes i do record that show. do you think you could change the library to remove those charaters? if so could you make the changes and post alink to the changed files so i can test it out?

cp

[dinzdale]

i found the same behavior as jeffscott. it freezes unless i use
/video. got a 4504 here.

i'll send you a working guide.dat for a 4k tonight, if you think that will be helpful.
