Thanks. That's it: setting the serverscreen to 'no' disabled that annoying thing...

Is this already in the current svn??

hi,

is it possible to pull this in the normal xbmc branch? because i don´t have a pvr or a vdr instalation...

Hi muggi,

please be patient - or merge it locally into a trunk-checkout yourself. As I wrote in the trac ticket: The pvrtesting2-branch is going to be merged into the trunk. I do not know when, but it will be.
Additionally, someone has to review the patch to evaluate whether it may be merged into the trunk. It simply takes its time .

hi chris,

if you can tell me how i can merge it in the normal trunk, i´ll test it....

As I wrote in the ticket:

I _think_ that it also works with trunk, _if_ you comment out any lines that cause compile errors. Should not be that much though.

i am new by compiling it from source code and not the linux checker and only a c# noob.


what happens if i install the pvr-testing2 branch source without vdr even on a normal xbmc live install?

Nothing that hurts. You would have to switch on the VDR-addon, anyway. So don't do that and everything is fine.

Thanks for the script, works well. But is there a way to get rid of the xbmc.log entry that is added every two seconds?

NOTICE: WebServer: GET | /xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp

It doesn't show with LogLevel set to -1, but the entry in advancedsettings.xml seems to be ignored

Hi,

i´d like to see the upper and the buttom progressbar at the same time.

in the script it only the upper progress bar:

printf $sock "output %i\n",(($progress <<6) | (1<<28)); # configure upper progress bar




In the driver bit 28 is written there are more bit´s (:

bit 28 : Abuse this for progress bars (if set to 1), lower bits represent
* the length (6 bits each: P|6xTP|6xTL|6xBL|6xBP with P = bit 28,
* TP=Top Progress, TL = Top Line, BL = Bottom Line, BP = Bottom Progress).
* If bit 28 is set to 1, lower bits are interpreted as
* lengths; otherwise setting the symbols as usual.
* 0 <= length <= 32, bars extend from left to right.
* length > 32, bars extend from right to left, length is counted
* from 32 up (i.e. 35 means a length of 3).
*
* Remember: There are two kinds of calls!
* With bit 28 set to 1: Set all bars (leaving the symbols as is),
* with bit 28 set to 0: Set the symbols (leaving the bars as is).
* Beware: TODO: May become a race condition, if both calls are executed
* before the display gets updated. Keep this in mind in your
* client-code.



How can i add this to the code/script?

Please Help.....

you need to include the relevant 6 bits for the lines you want to control.

($progress <<18)
($progress <<12)
($progress <<6)
($progress)

eg combine them like this...

printf $sock "output %i\n",(($progress <<12) | ($progress <<6) | (1<<28)); # configure progress bar

or like this

printf $sock "output %i\n",(($progress <<12) | ($progress <<6) | ($progress) | (1<<28)); # configure progress bar

or all of them..

printf $sock "output %i\n",(($progress <<18) | ($progress <<12) | ($progress <<6) | ($progress) | (1<<28)); # configure progress bar

i'm not sure the documentation fragment you posted quite matches what i was doing as it suggests that my original code ought to have been showing the bottom bar - but with some trial and error you should be able to get it to display whichever ones you prefer

[rockinthesix]

I'm trying to run the step-by-step here, but I'm not getting very far.

I created a file called

imon.pl

in my

~/.xbmc/userdata/

directory. From there I put the original script (at the top of this thread). I then proceeded to

sudo chmod +x imon.pl

then

sudo ./imon.pl

But I get

sudo: unable to execute ./imon.pl: No such file or directory

What can I do to get this running?

[Phantasm4489]

i dont think it needs to run with elevated rights, just

~/.xbmc/userdata/imon.pl

should be fine

[rockinthesix]

It's strange, here's a snippet of what I ran

xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ ~/.xbmc/userdata/imon.pl
-bash: /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/imon.pl: /.xmbc/userdata/: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ cd ~/.xmbc
-bash: cd: /home/xbmc/.xmbc: No such file or directory
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ cd ~/.xbmc/userdata
[email]xbmc@XBMCLive:~/.xbmc[/email]/userdata$ ~/.imon.pl
-bash: /home/xbmc/.imon.pl: No such file or directory
[email]xbmc@XBMCLive:~/.xbmc[/email]/userdata$ sudo nano imon.pl
[sudo] password for xbmc:
[email]xbmc@XBMCLive:~/.xbmc[/email]/userdata$

When I "nano"'d the file, I got the source code... so the file is there.
