New MythTV add-on using libcmyth
@janbar
I tried increasing the duration of usleep to 999999 up from 500000. Still seems to do the same thing.

@dst6se
Good to see I am not the only one with this issue anymore. This has been an issue for some weeks now but I hope janbar will come up with a solution soon. There are so many new features I would like to try but I cant seem to get playback to start reliably which is a showstopper for me.

I have also tried all the different fixes but it still stop after a couple of sec , i tried both mythbackend 0.25, 0.26.

I am going slowly, but i updated ago the mythtv code to track the issue directly in the backend. I will tell you what happens. By chance i have always a channel doing sometime the issue.

Hi guys,

i'm building the addons on maverick following this guide.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR...FromSource

the addon builds, however, when i enable livetv xbmc just dies. with this:

Any clues?

So far this looks good, is there more output afterwards?
Did you build it on the same system? Any suspicious warnings during build?
Maybe it could help if you pastebin the full build/and debug log.

Cheers, Christian

I found something: Mythtv stop to send the stream when requested block is to big compared to input stream. So it stop playback. Now i can reproduce the stuff by overloading my storage. I am thinking to update the code to manage this situation by reduce the request size depending of returned size of previous block. Also when channel tune is bad many frames are dropped and stream flow become small and then the request size should be small too. Think in this case the spawn and switch channel could be longer.

Is it safe to upgrade to MythTV v0.26 yet? I've held back upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 because I don't know how the support for v0.26 compares to v0.25.

i'm running 0.26 fine for a few weeks now and i haven't found any problems, i don't use it for live tv though so not tested much.

I think I am misunderstanding something here.

I have been following the instructions at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR...FromSource
and have built successfully the pvr.mythtv.cmyth addon.
But when I try to load it into my OpenElec system I get:

07:07:02 T:139799709087488 ERROR: Unable to load /storage/.xbmc/addons/pvr.mythtv.cmyth/XBMC_MythTV_cmyth.pvr, reason: libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It was compiled with --enable-addons-with-dependencies
but no where can I see instructions that indicate how to get mysql library into OpenElec.

OpenElec latest build version:
16:40:15 T:139800273803072 NOTICE: Starting XBMC (12.0-ALPHA7 Git:1677554), Platform: Linux (OpenELEC - Version: devel-20121029172525-r12322, 3.6.3 x86_64). Built on Oct 29 2012

Can anyone help?
Thanks

Problem is that you need the mysql runtime library.

Checkout if this post helps:
http://openelec.tv/forum/71-pvr--live-tv...t=20#51641

I guess it's this line that is missing in your build config:
PKG_DEPENDS="mysql curl"

If you get it running, could you update the build wiki?
BTW: Does it work for anybody on the rPI?

Cheers, Christian

I haven't switched my primary MythTV backend to 0.26 yet, but I've been running a test server in parallel. I would say 0.26 is similar to slightly better. I seem to have fewer instances of live video stopping or refusing to start and things feel a bit more stable. I use HD-PVRs and an ATSC HDHomerun as inputs. Both servers run Ubuntu 12.04.

Last time I checked, XBMC nightlies had not been updated to allow myth:// protocol to work with 0.26, but it's unneeded now that janbar and cfetzer are providing this great add-on.
