No only TVEngine 2 is supported

Still investigating TV Engine 3 and will rely heavily on what happens with the new webinterface for TV Engine 3

Thanks Chad,

Just reporting the latest release now works great. Given the latest mplayer.dll now supports DVR-MS, is it possible to have the python script modify to allow playing of these file directly.

Using the latest version of the mplayer.dll found here http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23969

Hi Macfox

To remove the dvr-ms block change mediaportal.py. You need to delete lines 318-321 inclusive. this would remove the following text:

if(r.supported == False):
mpUtil.dialog().ok("Format Not Supported", "The file is in an un" +
"supported format. \nPlease convert using MP compression")
return

I will make the change in the next release.

Thanks Chad, that did it..... Correction see below

Spoke too soon.

Doesn't seem to want to launch the video at all.

Path to video is reported as xbmc://<media portal ip>/tvrecording.dvr-ms

However, if I share the via smb and then browse to them via the file browser , I can play them. I guess it must be a pathing issue.

I'm going to try replacing the line that prefixes the xmbc://<ip>/. in mediaportal.py (line ~ 318)

def playMovie(self, r):
fname = r.strFileName
fnamenew = os.path.split(fname)
fnamenew = "smb://MCE/Recordings/My Recordings/" + str(fnamenew[1])
# fnamenew = "xbms://" + mpSettings.IP + "/" + str(fnamenew[1])
p = xbmc.Player()
p.play(str(fnamenew))

I'll report back with results.

Am I right in assuming ccxstream doesn't support dvr-ms files?

The "hack" above does work? but obviously would be nice to use ccxstream if possible.

Hi,

I had an email from someone the other day saying they had an issue with CCXStream and a space in the folder name of the recording folder.

Also you should be able to browse all available xbms shares by creating a bookmark in xbmc of xbms://

If you can't see the MP machines recording share then CCXStream is having issues on the MP machine

 

[Macfox]

I'll give it a go and report back.

This is the best Plugin. XBMC is awesome to even beable to SCHEDULE recordings would be nice.

Thanks for the great work.

Okay the latest mplayer.dll from the XMBC forums now support DVR-MS. It did before but it is now audio codec detection is improved greatly. Thanks to the hard work of John Donaghy.

In short you can now watch the recordings from your MP on your XMBC without issues.

BTW.... Changing the recording path to one without spaces, fixed ccxstream not launching.

Chad> Does the ccxstream launch code wrap the path in quotes? As the default install has the recording path in My Documents.
