XBMC Python Script (1 Viewer)

[digi-head]

I'm another very happy customer!! Thanks for this plugin!

Is there any work being done to combine this with the other XBMC MP plugin that pulls in EPG data, schedules recordings, etc? Between the two we could have a full fledged TV frontend, which would make XBMC a truely complete package! I am very happy, though, to finally have live TV, so fantastic work!

On a side note, does anyone know how I can map a remote control button to start this plugin directly? I've tried using "XBMC.RunPlugin(plugin:\\video\TVServer Live TV\)", and a few variations of this in the keymap.xml file for the "MyTV" button on my MCE remote, but to no avail. The XBMC Wiki says that RunPlugin "won't work for folder plugins", so is this a "folder" plugin? Is there any other way to directly map it?

<mytv>XBMC.ActivateWindow(videofiles,plugin://video/TVServer Live TV)</mytv>

In case anyone needs it!

Sounds interesting. Can I just clarify that you are using an MCE remote on your xbox?
I have this remote and from what I can tell it won't work on the xbox due to incompatible protocols. Can you tell me if that's the same one you're using and if so point me in the right direction to get it working on mine?

Actually, what I'm using is the "Media Center Extender for XBox" remote, which is very similar in layout to the regular Windows MCE remote (which I also have, by the way, but have never tried with XBox), but I have no idea about protocol differences.

Sorry to get your hopes up!

No probs, thanks for the detail. Got a little excited there!

I am extremely busy at the moment so do not expect any updates I have however put the python script in SVN, and modified it to work with latest SVN. I am not releasing anything as I have not been able to test anything yet. What it changes is basically *capability* to show the EPG info with the channel name, but I haven't gotten around to updating my EPG database etc so haven't really tested it.

Hi,

Nothing there.....

Neither of those - it is on the media portal plugins SVN. Look for mp-plugins. There is a thread somewhere about it too.

Also, just a small update, I have replicated the python menus (groups => channels) natively in XBMC in C++. I am currently working on the OSX version but I'm pretty sure it would be cross platform compatible. This isn't so useful by itself - i'm trying to figure out how I can make skip + and skip - work, but that requires me to wrap a rtsp file, and I'm having trouble figuring out *how* in the xbmc source..

Just the fact that you're still working on it is really encouraging ...

I just want to say thanks again for all your efforts.

As I've offered before, if you need any help on the TV Server plugin side of things just yell.

Cheers,
