Re: [mythtv-users] XBox Media Center Question
To be honest I have a hard time figuring out exactly what XMBC is doing just by looking at the user interface. It asks for the protocol version but it also wants the video files to be mountable across an SMB connection. As far as I can tell, it isn't streaming anything (in the mythtv://... sense) but I'm not familiar enough with the internals and the protocol to really say for sure. I managed to watch recorded shows but never tried live TV (although it did ask where my ring buffer was stored on an SMB filesystem).Based on my very limited experience with XMBC, it looks very impressive. It would be great if the two communities worked toward some kind of integration. With the XBox 360 out and prices on used XBoxs falling, I would seriously consider an XBox over a MediaMVP. The MVPs are OK but their video quality and robustness are a bit of an issue. --MikeOn 12/7/05, Mlists [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I thought I would give XBMC a try with the python scripts.Whatstreaming version is this working with?I don't mind downgrading frommy svn version if the picture quality is decent.I'm getting this error -- 2005-12-07 15:12:57.825 TVRec(1) Error: Seek(42004556816580608, 0, 1)errwhen I try to view liveTV.Norm___mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.orghttp://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] XBox Media Center Question
Just to be clear, I was not suggesting that MythTV and XMBC become one. I see them as quite different (XMBC doesn't record at all, right?). I just think that as a viewer, XMBC is damn fine.I guess the only point I'm trying to make is that I hope the people adding Myth support for XMBC feel comfortable with the API for MythTV and that it is stable enough that they can maintain this functionality. P.S. - It is a damn shame that using XBMC isn't as simple as burning an ISO and sticking it into the XBox. That would be awesome.--MikeOn 12/7/05, Justin Hornsby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Michael Tiller wrote: To be honest I have a hard time figuring out exactly what XMBC is doing just by looking at the user interface.It asks for the protocol version but it also wants the video files to be mountable across an SMB connection.As far as I can tell, it isn't streaming anything (in the mythtv://... sense) but I'm not familiar enough with the internals and the protocol to really say for sure.

Re: [mythtv-users] XBox Media Center Question
Really. I didn't realize that. Of course, just because you can doesn't mean finding the image will be easy. Is such a thing possible with MythTV for the XBox?!? Any pointers to such things would be interesting. -- MikeOn 12/7/05, Steve Adeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wednesday 07 December 2005 17:26, Michael Tiller wrote: P.S. - It is a damn shame that using XBMC isn't as simple as burning an ISO and sticking it into the XBox.That would be awesome.ah, but it is. well, you have to have a hacked xbox, but you can just burn it to a cd as an xiso and it will work.--Steve___mythtv-users mailing listmythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I can't seem to play any video mpeg with mplayer. It locks up. It's possible that the build of XBMC that I got isn't the best. Anyone have suggestions on a place to get the binary downloads? Email me if you don't want to post to the group. I also have the python scripts installed for Myth. My cards/myth don't create .nuv files, they create .mpg files. I assume these are mpeg4 or am I wrong on this? Mplayer should be able to play these shouldn't they?

Norm remove all the XBMC data from UDATA and TDATA (info on the homepage) and get a T3CH build. Actually I am using a T3CH version. Should it be a fairly new one? The one I have is dated August 7th. I'm downloading a 'PIMPED' version now to try. Norm ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
