eran,

you have to executed with the php interpreter, i.e.

Code:

php devic.....

When you select the 'Live TV' button on the UI2 menu or from the remote then plugin loads displays the Live picture.

That is an interesting information. Will keep it in mind.

Andrew,

one thing I envision is the same scenario you have right now with Video button on the main menu. Use the maemo orbiter, the display does not get turned on, until after I have selected what I want to see. And I think, that is functionality that MIGHT be of interest for the TV as well. Maybe an option to show the channel list first and upon selecting the channel I want to view, the TV gets turned on.

Andrew,

yes, the EPG is implented in UI2. But that won't help on the non-onscreen-orbiters, like the maemo or the weborbiter.

That's my reason for digging into this.

niz23,

are you talking about it not being possible to use a newer kernel, or are you talking about it not being possible to use 0710 on 0810?

the former might be possible, the latter definitly won't work.

colinjones,

possy - let me know if there is anything I can do to help!

thanks for asking, and yes there is.

Have a look at the HADesigner (and Thom's screencasts), and modify the VDR Remote screen to include a popup to show existing timers with the ability to delete times and/or de/activate them.

That would help tremendously.

Andrew,

I want to start with those screens, that are used often. Like EPG, like a channel listing to select the channel I want to jump to. Timer is another section that might be helpful to have, to delete timers and/or abort them. I am starting with the channels list, and will see how far it gets me.

Either Arkham, or success.

samuelmukoti,

the resulting files can be stored anywhere. The generation for the export is done in PHP, and the resulting PHP file need to be executed on your core.

Oliver

Colinjones,

another idea would be, you modify the VDR remote screen using (Quick|HA)Designer, and add support for all needed action into the Orbiter UI, instead of relying on the VDR UI.

Samuelmukoti,

that is the idea behind sqlCVS. Unfortunately, we have two problems
1) Man power - Every submission has to be manually commited
2) Fragility - sqlCVS is very fragile. For example, right now you  get problems if you don't first checkout the latest sqlCVS before submitting your changes

That is one of the reasons, why I created the DeviceTemplate exporter, so I can circumvent those problems for the time being, and still transfer templates from installation to installation.

Eran,

thanks for testing.

I have tried it:
and I got empty file and error:
Creating file /tmp/device1931dMMD0L
Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /var/www/DeviceTemplate2php.php on line 128
Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/DeviceTemplate2php.php on line 75
Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /var/www/DeviceTemplate2php.php on line 128
Done creating file!
Now the file /tmp/device1931dMMD0L needs to be executed. Please do that on the command line using
php /tmp/device1931dMMD0L

The file /tmp/device1931dMMD0L is empty? If yes, are you able to make a dump of your mysql database, and put it somewhere I can take a look at it?

colinjones,

the main thing that the new VDR system is accomplishing is the ability to watch live TV on a MD.

This is feature that a lot of people have been looking for.

Oliver

Alright I'll try HADesigner, I'm going to be getting an environment setup, is it possible to use it local on the LMCE box?

Otherwise, you might want to watch Tschaks screencasts, and use the QuickDesigner (look at the wiki for details). That works under Java, allthough you need lots of screen real estate to use it.

Oliver

will contributions over sqlcvs that are also described in mantis get into new release ?

I am not sure, but try the DeviceTemplate2php exporter to save your devices. Maybe it will help you save YOUR investment.
