[mythtv-users] MythWeb + myth-remote-control
I've been thinking a bit recently about a feature I mentioned a couple months ago, and it seems more implementable now. (Is MythWeb covered by the current feature freeze? :) The idea is to be able to browse recordings in MythWeb, but, if you clicked on the image in any given row, to have the frontend play it instead of having it streamed to the browser. This is handy in situations where you don't necessarily have a pre-established playlist, and would like to start the next recording on the fly while the previous one is still playing. (Useful for VJ'ing, for meetings in which you're presenting a bunch of short clips, for those of us who find a browser on a close-up high-res screen much more readable than the TV on the other side of the room, etc etc.) Obviously, this would be optional, so the existing behavior of streaming directly to the browser still works for those who want it. Originally, it looked like the way to do this was to send a different URL to the browser such that the image link ran a cgi script that then talked to the frontend (which might not be the same as the backend machine), and which then ran mplayer right on top of the frontend GUI. This is inelegant in a number of ways, though. But with the recent work that went into SVN (courtesy of the bounty that was paid for the added functionality) for remote-controlling the frontend from elsewhere, this could be a lot easier: Each of the rows in MythWeb's recorded-programs page has a URL that runs a cgi script that gets handed some ID for the program (whatever's easiest to put in the URL and look up in the DB later), and the cgi script then commands the frontend to play that recording directly, just as if the user navigated there via the frontend's UI. Seems very simple. The clean way to implement this would be to augment MythWeb to run an arbitrary script (e.g., the cgi script gets configured to call one of potentially several scripts, and hands it the program ID), and the first (but maybe not only) script to actually get written would be the one that takes the program ID and tells the frontend remote-control to play it. MythWeb would need two additional configuration options somewhere: o Whether to enable this behavior at all o Which frontend to use, if there is more than one How feasible does this sound? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] MythWeb + myth-remote-control
You really wouldn't need a cgi script. With the telnet interface, you can have php open a socket to the ip the backend is on and have it issue the commands. Something like this. ? $address = 127.0.0.1 $socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP); $result = socket_connect($socket, $address, 6545); $command = PLAY whatever_file.nuv; socket_write($socket, $command, strlen($command)); socket_close($socket); ?

[mythtv-users] MythWeb schedule offset wrong (timezone)
I installed using KnoppMyth, and selected the wrong timezone durring the initial install.After fixing the timezone in Linux, and a couple tries in Myth, the on-screen programming guide now has the correct time offset. MythWeb still shows the schedule with the wrong (original) offset.Is the timezone for MythWeb stored somewhere else, or is there a cache I need to clear somewhere?Thank you,-Pete ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

On the flip-side I also know that there are various different interpretation of the meaning of 'every day' which I guess is the root of the standard behaviour if a manual recording is scheduled Mon-Fri.

Just to add a tidbit to my post - I understand it is the starting date for the rule (not the actual date the rule was created) that governs the behaviour, but MythWeb defaults the start date/time to the current date/time, so if you just change the time for the recording (e.g. if the rule wants to start today at the given time) and it happens to be Mon-Fri a user will see the differing behaviour. I realise I'm flogging a dead horse here, I just would like an extra option (just for manual recordings) to make this explicit.

AIUI this relates to the difference between scheduling an 'every day' recording on a weekday (Mon - Fri) or at the weekend (Sat - Sun) and the differing scheduler behaviour. In the former case, even if a program is broadcast at the same time on Saturday and Sunday, the scheduler will not schedule these if the schedule is created Mon-Fri. However, if the schedule is created at the weekend and the program is broadcast every day at the same time, it should schedule all of them. It is possible to create a custom rule if you need to exclude particular days from the rule, I just think a lot of new users are worried when a 'record every day' rule doesn't record every day. If Michael schedules the recordings on a weekday, his desired behaviour should work out of the box and only Mon-Fri episodes will be scheduled?

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythweb problem
that's not what the query looks like. see here: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mythweb/includes/programs.php however, I think this is starting to look like a bug with subversion. It seems almost like the frac12; entity is being converted into the actual 1/2 character (which shows up in your code as a ?) when it's being downloaded. It is not, but that copy paste was done from a print $query I used to run it. But anyway that query is the cuplrit. I changed the LEFT JOIN programrating USING (chanid, starttime) to a LEFT JOIN programrating ON program.chanid=programrating.chanid AND program.chanid=programrating.starttime And then I have a nice pogram listing as the result. however, I've checked my own http checkout of myth (since I usually check out via ssh for editing), and it's fine. So it seems like something's funky in your particular install. Indeed, now I have to find out what is wrong with SVN here.

However, if for some reason they air the Simpsons on Saturday, you'll get it. As a matter of fact, why not just record it at any time. That way, Myth will record The Simpsons whenever it airs, and by choosing an appropriate duplicate check method, you'll get one copy of each episode.

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythweb and episode numbers
Thanks! I assume it'd be fairly easy for me to look at the SVN patch and backport to 18.1? (SVN is too unstable for me, and I haven't yet looked carefully at how mythweb has changed between the two.) HUGE code structure changes... you could pick at it, but the patch itself definitely wouldn't apply. ??? I'm confused. I was under the impression that feature requests were very much discouraged in trac unless they were accompanied by the code to implement them as well; I believe I read that somewhere on the main myth webpages that talk about how myth and trac are used. Am I misinformed? [*] (I recall something about feature requests in trac submitted without patches will be closed without notice or some such phrasing, which struck me as an awful idea, because it would mean that random devs couldn't just say, Hmmm, what quick hack has someone requested that I might work on?) I use it for feature requests.. maybe the other devs don't, but that's where people tend to put them, and it's one of the only places to put info that is guaranteed to be looked at. I'd be very happy to submit feature requests to trac if I was wrong; I also have a bug report [1] on mythweb's bizarre handling of manual recordings in 18.1 that I'll submit to trac, since when I mentioned it on -users it got zero response; which made it difficult for me to know if it was already fixed in SVN and thus invalid as a report. And I thought I read somewhere that mythweb development was on hiatus; apparently I was wrong about that, too... :) I'd be ecstatic if I could punt the main UI (except for FF/REW/etc) in place of mythweb functionality completely, and with just a few improvements I think I could... Please check svn before submitting info about stuff like that. SO much has changed in svn that much of this is probably irrelevant. [*] I can't actually find that text now, though in hunting around, I note that [2] has a bunch of wishes that seem like they might be fixed in SVN at least; I could prune it a bit if someone else would sanity-check the edits and check it back in. [1] http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/164995 in svn, myth has completely changed how it handles manual recordings...

[mythtv-users] Mythweb - searching music - .18.1 code avaliable
I noticed that Mythweb already had a bunch of code writen to support filters against the music list but didn't seem to be making use of it.. So I changed my version of mythweb to use that code. It allows filtering your music library by Title, Artist, or Genre. If you want the code, just send me a note off line. If there's any significant interest, I'll post it to the list. I head that Mythweb was in the middle of a rewrite, so I don't think it has much value to too long. But for those of us living in an 18.1 world, it's a very nice feature. Also, I hacked up the code to 'hide' recordings of category 'Adults Only' and in recording group 'Other', making the recording list a bit more family friendly. If you want this code, again, just ask. The proper solution would be to only display it if they enter the password for the recording group, just like in the frontend, but I thought this simple hack was good enough for me.

[mythtv-users] Mythweb and episode numbers
Date: Fri, 06 Jan 2006 00:26:57 -0800 From: Chris Petersen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks! I assume it'd be fairly easy for me to look at the SVN patch and backport to 18.1? (SVN is too unstable for me, and I haven't yet looked carefully at how mythweb has changed between the two.) HUGE code structure changes... you could pick at it, but the patch itself definitely wouldn't apply. Okay; I may eyeball this in case I can't wait for 0.19. [*] ??? I'm confused. I was under the impression that feature requests were very much discouraged in trac [ . . . ] I use it for feature requests.. maybe the other devs don't, but that's where people tend to put them, and it's one of the only places to put info that is guaranteed to be looked at. Okay, then that's where I'll send feature requests for mythweb, anyway. But there probably won't be any until 0.19 is released, since I probably can't justify the instability of SVN. [Note that, e.g., trac #952 is an example of something that was apparently closed 'cause feature request without patch attached; I tripped over this at random just now. It also says Read the Ticket HowTo but that page (http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/wiki/HowTo) has never been written, although the actual URL written there after HowTo, namely http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/wiki/TicketHowTo, has.] Anyway, thanks again! [*] A whine: It's really unfortunate that so many milestones are part of the next release; it's somewhat painful to be in the situation of wanting a modicum of stability, but therefore to be running a release that's will probably be a year old before it's superceded and hence is so old that many SVN users can't even remember what was in it, and for which filing bug reports is essentially uselessor, on the other horn of this dilemma, to use an SVN that's so unstable that deliberate weeks-long breakages of features are done on the mainline instead of a branch. I wish we could have stable or even semi-stable releases on better than a yearly schedule, or that SVN used branches more. Oh well. [And, while I'm wishing for a pony, I wish that it was possible to at least use a mix of SVN and stable, but the protocol/schema changes make this impossible, too, so it's quite difficult to have a stable production machine -and- a testbed machine without a lot of duplication of resources and time.

[mythtv-users] Mythweb and episode numbers
In 0.18.1: In the program_detail page, is there an easy way of also displaying the episode number, for cases in which that data is available? Some channels often don't have real titles for their shows, or don't make it clear that there are two parts with identical titles but different episode numbers; having this info in mythweb would make it much easier to discover this. (Also, I have a database of previous recordings made outside of Myth and it would be handy for knowing what's already been recorded; that database will eventually be integrated into my version of Myth so such shows won't be rerecorded anyway, but for the moment being able to at least do this manually in mythweb would help a lot.) Note that I really am talking about the episode number, not the ID; yes, I know that it's often not present, but that's the most convenient number for me (it's short, it's human-meaningful, and my other database already uses it). I know that this info is displayed in the Program Details page in the actual frontend UI, but using the frontend's UI is fairly painful compared to mythweb with a real keyboard and a real high-resolution display at reading distance, instead of a remote control and the TV's output at viewing distance. If this isn't some option I'm missing, I'd be willing to patch my local copy of mythweb if someone could give me a pointer or two on where in it to look---and is this info in (or being considered for) the current SVN version? Thanks... ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I was under the impression that feature requests were very much discouraged in trac unless they were accompanied by the code to implement them as well; I believe I read that somewhere on the main myth webpages that talk about how myth and trac are used. Am I misinformed? [*] (I recall something about feature requests in trac submitted without patches will be closed without notice or some such phrasing, which struck me as an awful idea, because it would mean that random devs couldn't just say, Hmmm, what quick hack has someone requested that I might work on?) I'd be very happy to submit feature requests to trac if I was wrong; I also have a bug report [1] on mythweb's bizarre handling of manual recordings in 18.1 that I'll submit to trac, since when I mentioned it on -users it got zero response; which made it difficult for me to know if it was already fixed in SVN and thus invalid as a report. And I thought I read somewhere that mythweb development was on hiatus; apparently I was wrong about that, too... :) I'd be ecstatic if I could punt the main UI (except for FF/REW/etc) in place of mythweb functionality completely, and with just a few improvements I think I could... [*] I can't actually find that text now, though in hunting around, I note that [2] has a bunch of wishes that seem like they might be fixed in SVN at least; I could prune it a bit if someone else would sanity-check the edits and check it back in.

Yes, Apache 2.0 can be compiled with some support for large files on 32-bit UNIX platforms, but it's not supported by the Apache project. Many of the largefile-related changes in the 2.0 line have been fixes for things that were badly broken, like the autoindexing module failing in directories if they contained files over 2GB. Even when you supply the necessary compiler flags not all operations will accept large data sizes and you may run in to strange new bugs.

There are 2 dropdowns on near the top of the screen. The first has my defined playlists, the second only has View playlist or Summary, no matter what I pick in the first dropdown.

jgmtfia Mr píše v Ne 18. 12. 2005 v 14:59 -0700: I updated to SVN mythweb today, and after the upgrade I am presented with the message An unknown module was specified mythweb In a white box in the middle of the screen. Do you have the mythweb installed in /var/www/mythweb (i.e. not in the www root)? I got that white box as well and in order to fix it I had to move the mythweb contents into the www root. Hopefully it's a bug that will be fixed (or a solution for keeping the plugin in a www subfolder will be posted). I admit I haven't looked closer, maybe it's a matter of changing some rewriting rules or something like that.

This should now be fixed. I guess I was expecting a particular server variable to say something other than it actually does. Tested on at least 2 layers of nesting and things seem to work fine. -Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

RE: [mythtv-users] MythWeb and
Umm yeah I just worked out that this didn't actually come from the repository. It actually was there because u I u use the svn version. And u the .htaccess reference didn't make sense to me because my install script does actually copy the .htaccess file to apache. However thanks to Andrew because the apt-get did acutally install apache2 and now I have to use it because if I start 1.3 it downloads the text of the php page (go figure) However I did need to run: dpkg-reconfigure php4-mysql -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Petersen Sent: Tuesday, 6 December 2005 2:38 AM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] MythWeb and I did a stupid thing on the weekend and ran apt-get upgrade now mythweb won't work.
