Hi,

I've compiled Dteirney's source (checked out at rev 522d1c1).

My backend (which is also my xbmc frontend) is Natty running myth version:

2:0.24.0+fixes.20110425.56c54fa-0ubuntu0mythbuntu2

The pvr addon connects to the myth backend without problems to get the epg data and play back previously recorded programs from the backend. But, live tv cannot be played back (nor does the addon seem to have the ability schedule recordings....)

I have tried changing the ip address in the pvr addon to the hostname of the machine, the ip address of the machine and also localhost - nothing seems to get me livetv!

Below is my log. It's a fresh launch, debug logging enabled and I've tried to play livetv from a few different channels:

http://pastebin.com/MSSTu2N3

I can confirm that these channels play just fine from mythfrontend....

Is 0.24 livetv support not in the build yet? Or is there something specific to Natty, or the actual myth build I am running?

Been looking forward to the myth stuff catching up with the other pvr addons, let me know if there's anything I need to try or test out for you?


Regards,


Jim

You have to wait for XBMC 11.0 for live support with 0.24

Bummer!

I thought it was in trunk already? I've gone through too much faffing around with my backend to start over with a 0.23 setup. Guess I'll have to wait.....

im running mythtv 0.24 with xbmc pvr.

It is an older build of dteirneys and it works ok!

if you wait a couple of weeks it is likely his current source will work too.

it is being updated to the latest apis.

[dteirney]

LiveTV should now work in XBMC master. Make sure you have at least the following revision: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/5914...32890c26f0

Thanks!

I have it compiled but have to wait till my wife is finished her 'important' shows so I have a chance to test out the new build properly.

Thanks for the update! When will this commit be included in your pvr repo?

Up to which version of MythTV is this? I appear to have compiled a 0.25 version with a Gentoo ebuild.

Should work with 0.24. May work with 0.25 unless the protocol version number has been bumped.

Protocol 65 is part of the pre-release Myth 0.25 version. XBMC currently only supports Myth 0.24.

I'll have to look and see what changes are needed in libcmyth to support protocols after 63. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Myth_Protocol

Might not get to that for a while (takes a while to figure out what has changed and therefore needs changing in the client).

[rdoac]

Success.. I stuck this in lib/cmyth/libcmyth/connection.c

static myth_protomap_t protomap[] = {
{62, "78B5631E"},
{63, "3875641D"},
{64, "8675309J"},
{65, "D2BB94C2"},
{66, "0C0FFEE0"},
{0, 0}
};



And now livetv works in mythbox 0.25 ... At least it did for the 5 seconds my daughter allowed me to test it before she went back to Glee on Hulu.. :-)

I figured it was safe as all the changes are additions not subtractions, so the past code would work as it used to..

[rdoac]

Hmmm, on the whole it works, but I can't select a different tuner, it defaults to the first one, which is only local channels, not my cable channels (firewire or hdpvr input). Is there a way to change it, or is it a protocol issue?

Not much in the log:

i've tried to follow what's what with PVR and MythTV backend, and have, frankly, gotten lost in all the various discussions.

If my goal is:

XBMC-from-src-on-Linux
MythTV 24 backend
MythTV frontend-ed inside of XBMC

which src repo(s) do I need?

just dtierney's? also opedenkamp's then merge? some other combination?

happy to RTFM ... just not sure WHICH M to FR.

PVR and Myth is disabled at the moment. PVR may work in dtierneys fork. However the main xbmc trunk now has support for livetv and myth 0.24 which was merged into the pvr fork git the other day - however not with the pvr functions. (So a myth:// source will work but not the pvr interface yet). Mythbox also works.
