This release has bug fixes (including code from "nickca" for FLV support), and some new minor features. Enjoy! Started working harder to ensure video filenames are unique once imported into MythTV, I now prepend video files with epoch seconds at time of import DIVX (not divx) doesn't need transcode, added. Check for the existence of the video directory, and return an error if it needs creating. Handle storage groups, check for the existence of the data directory Updated docs Complained about the poor state of SWF support WMV support FLV support Get it here if you care: http://www.stillhq.com/mythtv/mythnettv/

MythNetTV release 1

  • Post category:Mythtv

I figured it was time for another release of MythNetTV, especially since I've fixed some bugs recently and rolled in code generously provided by George Nassas. New things in this release: Initial work on transcoding smaller files to something else Better error checking for MySQL configuration and accessibility Fixed bug where MythNetTV was unhappy if there were no channels configured in the MySQL database Found, and hopefully fixed, a bug where program dates were not always being tracked correctly. Also added a check to make sure this doesn't happen again Added --markread, which lets you mark old shows as already downloaded The code has seen a fair bit of use now, so it should be fairly stable. Let me know if you find any problems... $ ./mythnettv --statistics Programs tracked: 735 Google EngEdu: 350 Scoble Show: 85 linux.conf.au 2007: 74 Mobuzz TV: 82 dl.tv: 32 Net Cafe: 2 Foo: 1 ABC News: 2 Australia: 1 Play School: 1 Diggnation: 72 Programs still to download: 50 Google EngEdu: 49 Diggnation: 1 Data transferred: 103 gb (111017264341 bytes) Get it here if you care: http://www.stillhq.com/mythtv/mythnettv/

MythNetTV beta 4

As it says in the email: To: Discussion about mythtv <mythtv-users@mythtv.org> Subject: MythNetTV beta 4 Hi again. MythNetTv is my video downloader / aggregator / importer thingie for MythTV. I've spent a little longer testing this beta, and I think it's getting kinda ready for a real release number or something. New things in this version (from the change log): - Made --update more terse - Made --update more liberal about what it considers to be a video, specifically added video/quick time and text/html (to work around the rather broken http://www.mobuzztv.com/uk/rss/quicktime - Added a filter option to --download to constrain it to only downloading shows with a specific title - Added transcoding for mov and wmv2 files - If there is a straggling import, and it causes as error, just skip it and mark it as imported - Don't reset transferred data statistic when we start downloading a show again - Started implementing moniker support for downloads - Unsupported monikers will result in an attempt to download the URL using mplayer (which works for RTSP and MMS at the least) Yes, that's right. You can now download only shows with a specific title, and you can also download any protocol…

MythIPTV Beta 2

Just announced. It was either do the washing, or this: Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 10:11:09 -0800 From: Michael Still To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: MythIPTV Beta 2 Hi again. There's a new version of MythIPTV now at http://www.stillhq.com/mythtv/mythiptv/source/beta-2/ This version adds the following: - subscription management: you can add RSS URLs to watch, list them, update them (download new versions of the XML and import the shows), and remove them - ad hoc video management: add a remote URL to the TODO list, download a remote URL and import it now, import a local file - transcoding: it's quite probable that you'll encounter a video format which isn't know. Please report it if you do - statistics: how many programs do I have? how many are waiting to download? how much data have I downloaded so far? - reporting: what shows would be downloaded next? what does the internal log say about the state of MythIPTV? Once again, this is a beta, so good backups are needed. I would love more feedback. Oh, and you _really_ need mplayer and mencoder installed now. Really. Cheers, Mikal

MythIpTV Beta 1

Some folk at LCA expressed interest in my video blog aggregator for MythTV. I've cleaned it up, and just sent out the first release: Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2007 09:38:04 -0800 From: Michael Still To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: MythIpTv Beta 1 Hi. I've been recently wanting a video blog aggregator which integrates with MythTV. Specifically, I wanted the videos to appear as recordings. I've had a horrible script for that for a few months, but ended up cleaning it up when it occurred to me that Akimbo (http://www.akimbo.com) is just a per user RSS feed, and something a lot like MythTV. So, I wrote MythIpTv. It takes RSS feeds, imports the entries in the feed and builds a TODO list. It then downloads shows and imports them into the MythTV recordings menu. The code has only been tested by me, so if you're interested in giving it a try, please take good backups. You can find the code here: http://www.stillhq.com/mythtv/mythiptv/source/beta-1/mythiptv Before use, you need to make a temporary data directory in your current working directory: mkdir data You use mythiptv like this: ./mythiptv --url <url to RSS feed> <show title> or ./mythiptv --file <RSS file on local disk> <show…
