are any of you getting a socket 10057 not connected error on trying to play the recorded shows? it's really weird, xbmcmyth can see the recorded shows, it can select them and show me the image that is associated with the nuv file but when i click play it just stops with the error.
i didn't do anything to my mythtv box nor to the xbmcmyth installation. i have however, upgraded xbmc to a march 21 build. but the first thing i did after doing that was to play a recording as a test and it passed with flying colours. this just seems to be something which has recently kicked in...

the recorded show listing, screenshot, etc. are all done using the myth tv protocol. that means your connection to the backend is working fine. playback involves loading markup directly from the mysql database and then launching playback with your configured prefix. the socket connection error is most likely related to a problem connecting to the mysql database. check your settings in xbmcmythtv and check your mysql permissions for remote access.

will this script be able to pause, ff, fr etc (timeshift) through the xbox, or is it only showing live steams?

as sigtom pointed out, you can timeshift through the xbox by recording shows.
also, while watching live tv, you can pause (e.g. to go to the fridge or whatever). rewinding of live tv doesn't seem to work (it just puts you back at the end of the live tv stream) but i think that may be a mplayer issue. the myth ringbuffer should allow you to rewind for the buffer amount.
anyway, i don't use the myth frontend at all as a result of this script + myth web for scheduling. when i get a chance to write the scheduling bit, then i'll end up using the scripts exclusively.

hi all,
just tried the latest cvs versions (030405) of both mythtvxbmc and xbmc. i've noted the following errors. for live tv you get "unsupported operand types for +-:"none type" and "str"
for the program guide, i get "list index out of bounds"
everything else works as it should.

madtw,
this sounds like some great work... once you have released a gold version that works with xbmc i'm going to try my hand at setting it up. i've never even used mythtv but this is going to push me to do it!
thanks for giving to the community!
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

hello again madtw,
just updated to the latest cvs of mythtv (running xbmc from 01/04/05) and everything is working sweet except the program guide looks like a dog breakfast. i have 7 channels, they are listeded multiple times down the screen 1-7, 1-7 etc, it also doesn't scroll properly, when i get halfway down it jumps, i have overlapping text (one show overlaps with the next) and the repeated channels show "no data".
this is the only error in my logs.
03-04-2005 17:44:26 info q:\scripts\xbmcmythtv\mythtvguide.py:118: deprecationwarning: integer argument expected, got float
alignment=(

alignment=mythtvgui.align_center_y | mythtvgui.align_truncated )
i still have issues with the status, i have just sent you a msg with my status html.
cheers,
beau

wob: you didn't apply the xbmc patch i mentioned in an earlier post. i added screenshots of what the program guide should look like to the source forge page. alignment and truncation of the program guide button fonts will not work without the patch - actually i'm surprised anything works at all without the patch. you'll have to build xbmc manually until they include my patch...
[edit] i am working on a fix if you have less channels than displayed on a single screen. i have a few screen fulls of channels so i never hit that error condition.
[edit2] i just committed a fix to xbmcmythtv cvs if you have less channels than can be displayed on a single program guide screen. like i posted earlier, i didn't expect the scripts to work until xbmc patch 1166891 is applied to xbmc's cvs repository. unfortunately, it is taking longer than previous patches to be applied... but there isn't much i can do about that. as for the status problem, if you have more than one tuner i know there are issues... i am thinking about changing the status screen to have subscreens (i.e. break up existing info onto multiple screens taking into account multiple tuners, etc.). also, i wanted to get a program guide done because people keep asking for it so the status screen has been neglected for a while... i would like to get scheduling working before i look at the status screens again.
