TVDatabase.GetRecordedTV question (2 Viewers)

[pilehave]

Hi there!

I'm doing a PROCESS plugin that is supposed to show the users recordings (without going to RecordedTV)

Now, this simple code that works in the original WINDOW plugin doesn't output anything, it is as if there were no recordings (visible to the plugin at least)?

        private void oneClickPlayRecordings()
        {
            List<TVRecorded> recordings = new List<TVRecorded>();
            List<GUIListItem> itemlist = new List<GUIListItem>();
            TVDatabase.GetRecordedTV(ref recordings);
            
            foreach (TVRecorded rec in recordings)
            {
                Log.Info("PowerPlay recording found: " + rec.Title.ToString());
            }

        }

In my world this should log my recordings to the log...the function IS run, I can check it with break statements

I know that window and process plugins does things different, but I have no problem calling resources in other process plugins I have created.

I have all the relevant "using" entries in the plugin and it compiles and runs without errors...just no output.

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm really sorry that nobody cares about helping out, I have in the past 6 months tried to get help with quite a few problems/questions regarding coding to the poorly documented code.

Guess the devs never come across this part of the forum...I started out really optimistic, but am starting to realize that I perhaps should jump the XBMC wagon, at least their developers are willing to help out

Now that the TV-part of XBMC is coming up fast, I can also see the potential usergroup growing to incredible size

Sad, but true...

I did read the first post earlier, but I have to say that I have almost zero knowedge on the C# side of TVE3 so I cannot help.

What comes to XBMC and TV, you will most likely end up using some other backend (like TVE3) as I would assume that they aren't going to develop the tv part themselfs.

And why no one has answered? Lot of forum posts are missed, no one has time to read them all. Also we might have approx 2 developers who know about the TVE3 code Also two days is not that long time to wait for some answer. Most of the developers might not even open the forum during months (real life etc.).

Well, thanks for stopping by, I just get so frustrated when I know I have all the rest of the code sorted out and just needs this simple code to work.

I have found it in both process-plugins and window-plugins that are part of SVN, and some of it is really simple, like the DiskManagement script that deletes recorded shows marked for deletion after a certain period.

This thread of mine also got no response after two months, but is ultimately the same question. How frustrated of waiting can you get in two months? A lot
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...e-48/recorded-shows-dialog-help-needed-57577/

I even downloaded Visual Studio 2008 to see if it changed anything versus using C# Express, but same deal.

The original code I'm referring to is Frodo's and is a really simple function, triggered every 15 minutes by a timer. As far I can tell it is this code that currently runs the diskmanagement, so it DOES work, just not in my plugin:

    private void DeleteOldRecordings()
    {
      List<TVRecorded> recordings = new List<TVRecorded>();
      TVDatabase.GetRecordedTV(ref recordings);
      foreach (TVRecorded rec in recordings)
      {
        if (!rec.ShouldBeDeleted)
        {
          continue;
        }

        Log.Info("RecordingManagement: delete old recording: {0} date: {1}",
                 rec.FileName,
                 rec.StartTime.ToShortDateString());
        Recorder.DeleteRecording(rec);
      }
    }

As you can se it's just 2 lines of code + a foreach loop that extracts the recordings. The "using" part of the code reveals nothing that I don't already have in my own code.

Oh, I feel better now by the way, had to get it out of my system. Perhaps I ought to go shoot some bad guys in a game

I would, or just go out meet some friends, anything to take away the frustration.

I think the main problem is that you are using methods of TVE2. Almost nobody of the team has a deeper knowledge of it anymore. If you want to write this plugin for TvServer than you have to use different methods. You can find examples in the TvPlugin which is part of the TvServer.

If that indeed is the case then I'll have to look at the TVPlugin, since I'm trying to get content from TVE3

Right, after looking the right place I got it going, I'm having a bit of a problem with starting playback though, as it crashes the client, I don't know what I'm missing.

I get the file (local drive on server, multiseat) and translates that into RTSP (at least I think so) and tries to start playback.

        private void oneClickPlayRecordings()
        {
            try
            {
                GUIDialogMenu dlg = (GUIDialogMenu)GUIWindowManager.GetWindow((int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_DIALOG_MENU);
                if (dlg == null) return;
                dlg.Reset();
                dlg.SetHeading("test");
                int counter = 0;

                IList<Recording> recordings = Recording.ListAll();
                foreach (Recording rec in recordings)
                {
                    counter++;
                    GUIListItem item = new GUIListItem();
                    item.Label = rec.StartTime.ToString("t", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat);
                    item.Label2 = rec.Title;
                    item.PinImage = "";
                    dlg.Add(item);
                }        
       
                dlg.DoModal(GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindow);
                if (dlg.SelectedId > 0)
                {
                    string fileName = recordings[dlg.SelectedId].FileName.ToString();
                    Log.Info(fileName);
                    g_Player.Stop(true);
                    string fileRTSP = RemoteControl.Instance.GetUrlForFile(fileName);
                    Log.Info("PowerPlay - try to fetch stream " + fileRTSP);
                    if (g_Player.Play(fileRTSP, g_Player.MediaType.Recording))
                        {
                            g_Player.SeekAbsolute(0);
                            g_Player.ShowFullScreenWindow();
                        }

                }

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Log.Error("PowerPlay - Error(4): " + ex.Message + "( " + ex.StackTrace + " )");
            }

        }

I would really appreciate any help on the matter, the TVPlugin looks really complicated but I only need to start playback of a recording - not all the other stuff.

What was the crash?

Well, I don't know what i did to change it, but it doesn't crash right now, but the MediaPortal.log is like this:
