- sgtstadanko - 2005-02-05
hey i haven't run this in a long time and am having trouble getting the cvs xmbcmyth to work with the latest cvs of xbmc. i am using the .16 backend and when i run mythtv.py from script folder it never loads. here is the error in my xbmc.log file:
04-02-2005 20:49:03 info file "q:\scripts\xbmcmythtv\mythtv.py", line 1167, in ?

04-02-2005 20:55:04 info debug level set to 31
i have also tried loading mythtvmain.py but i just get the interface and the buttons all generate error messages. it looks like i am missing something simple. any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
william

the main starting point for the myth tv scripts in the latest cvs is mythtvmain.py. at the moment, only the "recorded shows", "status", and "settings" buttons work. the rest will just popup a dialog with a message. the reason for this is that these screens were recently rewritten to support skinning and language translations. the remaining screens have not been updated to use the new framework. they will be looked at over the next little while...

(hpx @ jan. 17 2005,21:05 Wrote:two quick questions,i just removed the explicit dependencies on smb in the scripts in the latest cvs code. this means that if you specify a xns path prefix in the settings, you should also be able to playback shows. if anyone has xns or xbms setup and can verify it, let us know...
i don't use smb on my backend, but rather xns. is it possible to use xns rather than smb. i'm also getting prompted for the live prefix, however i haven't been able to find out what that means. what is it?
any help is appreciated.
note: you still need some other protocol besides the myth protocol to playback shows (i.e. smb, xns, or xbms)

ok.. ran the right one and got this error:

any ideas
- madtw - 2005-02-06
ok, it looks like there is something wrong with obtaining status from your myth backend. i added a try/except in the recorded shows screen so that if it fails getting the free disk space status, it will continue creating the window. also, i added code to initialize the "dom" member in the status class - i'm not sure why i never got this error on my version of xbmc. which version are you running? i'm running a 2005-01-15 build still because the newer ones seemed a bit unstable.
does the status screen fail for you entirely? i would expect it to if it failed to display the free disk space on the recorded shows screen...
- sgtstadanko - 2005-02-06
i rolled back my xbmc version to 1.1.0 . i grabbed the new code from cvs ...status screen fails completely with this error now:

ok, can you connect to the status port on your mythbackend using a browser, save the generated html to a file and send it to me? i'm guessing the html that is being generated is missing some end tags that the xml parser is expecting to find... hence the expaterror error being reported.

thanks,i pm'ed it to you
- Levia - 2005-02-08
are there any website for this? i tried to install it on my xbox (from cvs) but had no luck. could not find out what script to actually start.
if no website, can someone give me the 101 to start experimenting with this?

christian...
1. upload the entire contents of the xbmcmythtv directory to your xbmc/scripts directory on your xbox.
2. run the mythtvmain.py script and go into the settings screen to specify your connection details and paths.
3. on the settings screen, make sure that the connections test successfully then save your settings.
4. you should now be able to use the rest of the buttons on the main menu displayed by mythtvmain.py.
optional installation includes adding a shortcut to the main xbmc menu:
1. add a new button entry into your xboxmediacenter.xml file that executes q:\scripts\xbmcmythtv\mythtvmain.py
2. update the xbmc/skin/project mayhem/pal/home.xml (or equivalent for your skin) to increase numbuttons by 1.
3. reboot xbox to show the skin change.

ok. got it working. the "recorded shows" part that is.
the other just does not do anything.

- sgtstadanko - 2005-02-08
recorded shows, status and settings are all that is working now (i think)...

hi,
i'm not going to get the chance to update the upcoming shows interface for the new skinned layout. so if anyone wants to do it, go for it, it will require a complete rewrite of the whole interface from scratch. i'm not sure if rubenonrye will get round to doing a complete rewrite of the livetv interface.
so if anyone wants these features then checkout a old version from the cvs.
cheers

if no one else picks up the upcoming shows screens, i may take a look at it in a few days.
