- XanDaph - 2011-03-23 XanDaph Wrote:Hi Dushmaniac, Another very NICE thing: My epg on tvheadend is much more stable (DVB-S) with the new build. The "old" one did not show all the listings, always trouble, not stable, sometimes completly empty. Now it works like a charme. Keep up the good work!! Buffer Issue Fixed? - akr884 - 2011-03-23 Hey Dushmaniac, I saw that you had something about buffering up dvdplayer on you github commit history. Does that mean that the stuttering problem might be fixed? - opdenkamp - 2011-03-23 XanDaph: tvheadend is sending some wrong epg entries, which resulted in incomplete or incorrect epg tables in the old pvr-testing2 branch. I'm correcting those values in xbmc now, but someone should fix this in tvheadend, because it's still problematic in some situations. e.g., when you schedule a timer from the epg now, tvheadend uses it's own , possibly incorrect, start and end times (if it can find the epg entry id). @akr884: partially yes. if both the audio and video buffers are empty, it'll buffer up now. - mikenike - 2011-03-23 Hello, Thank you for your help, now it is working, but i have no timeshift (live tv pause) feature :-( how can i activate this? - Ruud - 2011-03-23 mikenike Wrote:Hello, Thank you for your help, now it is working, but i have no timeshift (live tv pause) feature :-( Not (yet) implemented. What I occasionally do is to start a recording and then via Video play the resulting file. Here you have the possibility of pausing and skipping (although skipping is *very* slow on a network drive) regards, Ruud. - mikenike - 2011-03-23 Oh thats not so good :-( Is there a Possibility to use Timeshift in XBMC? Maybe with MythTV client? or isnt it possible at all with xbmc? - opdenkamp - 2011-03-23 I think I heard it's implemented in the mediaportal addon atm. not sure though - janumix - 2011-03-25 @dushmaniac Thank for update. It seems there are still epg issues. Please take a look on that shot: http://img684.imageshack.us/i/20110324221748.jpg/ The time was 22:16 but timeline started from 00:00. Start/stop dates look also strange .... BR Janusz - Ruud - 2011-03-26 Hi, updated to latest XBMC and noticed that this error is still present. also noticed that in the screen 'system info - PVR info' no information is shown (all values are: unknown) Thanks for your hard work! regards, Ruud. - opdenkamp - 2011-03-26 @janumix: it's probably an issue with a timezone conversion that I'm going to remove from the add-on interface soon. if all epg event are showing the wrong start times, you can go to the add-on settings, change the timezone correction value and reset the database. that should solve the problem for now. @ruud: just tested it and it works fine here. do you see a new crashlog appearing after you hit the power button? because if xbmc crashes on shutdown, it'll restart instead of shut down. if you see a new crashlog that was creating while shutting down xbmc, please pastebin it. the "unknown" values are because of a little bug. fixed - Ruud - 2011-03-26 dushmaniac Wrote:@ruud: Hi, thanks for your responce, just realised that I had this issue 'in the early days'. Apparently my previous 'fix' was 'erased' by an update. here is what I did to fix it: Code: apt-get install policikit and then in the file: /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf added the following: Code: <match user="xbmc"> Thanks, Ruud. - odoll - 2011-03-26 Quote:I've been using your new builds of tvheadend and xbmc-pvr for a few days now ... did an apt-get upgrade today and the system tells me, that I have the version "XBMC PRE-11.0 Git:Unknown (Compiled: Mar 24 2011)", now. Everything looks fine, though there's one odd issue (not sure, if I'll be finding the right words here, but I try): Though all my so far added "sources" are just one level below the function Music and Pictures, the ones for "Videos" moved "down" one further level, namely into a folder? named "Files". Is this by intend? - janumix - 2011-03-26 Ruud Wrote:Hi, thanks for your responce, just realised that I had this issue 'in the early days'. Apparently my previous 'fix' was 'erased' by an update. Unfortunately this is not my case. Since last version - suspend do not work. XBMC even not restart, please take a look on xbmc.log: Code: 21:26:58 T:5777216 M:844021760 DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 1385996:000000008001000b 00 KEY_POWER TTS35AI (KEY_POWER) I haven't touch polkit ... What to chceck ? @dushmaniac timezone correction seens to be working ... Regards Janusz [SOLVED] ugh - well this is embarrassing - enabling tvheadend - Teepee - 2011-03-26 Hi Dushmaniac - really hoping you can help me out! Just switched from Windows *spits* to Ubuntu 10.10 - had been using Margro's brilliant build before but switched across to the larsopendkamp one and really impressed. The backend is set up and all looks well but I just can't get it talking to xbmc. My settings are definitely right and I've trawled various threads (including all 29 pages of this one!) to find a solution but coming up empty handed. In the xbmc Addon settings tvheadend is configured and enabled. TV Settings are enabled (and stay enabled - something i couldn't get working with myth) (but from the "Live TV" menu all my options are blank When i switch on Channel Manager and EPG, exit that menu and then enter it again they're de-selected. The other slightly strange thing is that in tvheadend if i try to 'watch tv' from the web interface I get a http --- 401 error and instead of live tv i get a black box. Don't know if the two are linked but really hoping for some advice. I've tested the cards with mplayer and the cards work really well! I know (/hope!) i'm *really* close! I've taken a look at the xbmc log and I am seeing this Code: 21:09:49 T:8282848 M:2786422784 ERROR: CZeroconfAvahi::addService(): failed to add service named:XBMC JSONRPC@$(HOSTNAME) type:_xbmc-jsonrpc._tcp port:8080. Error:Invalid Error Code :/ FIXME!.... Any and all advice greatly appreciated!! Thanks EDIT: This is even More embarrassing. Woke up knowing what the problem was! This morning I added a new line to the Access Control of the tvheadend webgui and it works a treat!! - kdevane - 2011-03-28 Loving the PVR build and been using for a few months now. Runnig the latest Karmic Build of XBMC-Pvr (XBMC Pref-11.0 Git:unknown (compiled: Mar 24 2011 ) and TV headend 2.12.99~git20110313.1aa214~odk1. Since the time change at the weekend epg guide on Live TV has been out an hour. I've tried setting the epg offset -1,0,+1 all with no affect. Times reported in TvHeadend are all correct. Current time just after 7pm, but the show listed in the epg as on now doesn't start till 8pm. xbmc-desktop:~$ date Mon Mar 28 19:12:03 IST 2011 Any ideas what i need to change ? Thanks, Kevin |
