See, I learn something new everyday. I will have to take a look at that tonight.
Thx

Thom, I though the guide data that we currently see for MythTV was actually just the guide part of the mythfrontend and basically lmce just passes keystrokes to the frontend.

By the way I appreciate the discussion, it helps me learn and understand this more, which means I might be able to contribute more

48
Posde my understanding of the MythTV .25 is that it allows the MythTV to get out of the way also. The big issue I see is the guide data and setting up recordings, how is this data presented to the orbiter for VDR, I would assume we could mimic that code.

Thom from reading the API it looks like we would be able to eliminate the need for myth frontend all together and our MythTVPlayer would get the stream straight from the mythbackend. Under this approach we would need to handle the UI for the guide and programming etc. I'm curious how this is handled currently in VDR as it is my understanding that VDR is stricly a backend and LMCE handles the UI frontend.

posde, I understand where you are coming from. My point being that from what I could determine from looking at the code( and I could be very wrong) currently MythTV Player communicates through a socket with mythfrontend to watch, change channels etc. The mythfrontend client communication is fairly unstable. This new api would allow an lmce md to communicate directly with the mythbackend even if it is through the DCEROUTER. We could basically eliminate the mythtv frontend altogether in favor of an lmce frontend.

51
From what I gather from this API, we have 2 courses of action. 1) rewrite MythTV player to use the http calls with the new frontend API. or 2) create our own frontend and use the other API's which to me would be maybe more work but in the end a much better approch, since this could integrate into the new QOrbiter.


 The backend of myth works just fine currently, it is the communication with the frontend that is flaky as hell. If this new API allows us manipulate myth within an orbiter screen of our design then this whole system becomes much more efficient and fluid.

Let me know how I can help!

53
Let me know what you find. I have been looking at the code a bit. And would be willing to help the best I can.

54
Has anybody with working knowledge of LMCE and mythTV had a chance to look at this new API? Will it possibly make Myth more of a stable partner for MCE?  Thom, I know you share my current disdain for Myth as far as stability. Could this new API allow us to see something of an improvement?

I have 4 zboxes as MD's and they all work fine. My suggestion is from the Web Admin go to the Media Director and do a rebuild image. You may also from the core do a apt-update/upgrade and rerun the TBZ_CreateDiskless script again.

I would also think about switching to 10.04 my understanding is even though 8.10 has been moved to production most new work is being done with 10.04.

If the newer version works without a problem why don't we put it in the installation.
