hi guys, i've packaged some of my changes at:
http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/us...v-0.15.zip
to try it out just overwrite the python and scripts folders as usual.
live tv now bascially works, with a simple interface allowing changing channel up and down and some channel numbers.
to get live tv working, export your mythtv livetv folder in samba the same as recordings. use the settings panel to set the correct share. you can now go to the livetv option and switch livetv on and off, change channel up and down, channel numbers and start viewing the stream. because of the lack of any osd, you have to press stop or display to access the interface to change channel etc...
i've also added support for myth protocol 14, which is current mythtv cvs.
if anyone wants to have a go at other bits, these are the things that need to be done:
scheduling working...
delete doesn't work anymore
parsing channel data from database and use this as basis for livetv selection.
osd
improve livetv stuff so it uses getnextfreerecorder, for people who have more than one card and also recordinginprogress
i honestly don't think it would be a huge amount of work to get these scripts pretty much finished (bar osd), i'll carry on hacking, but i don't have a huge amount of time.
