Current in the works, but finish background threading to enable the app to update its local cache of information in the background. This will improve the speed of the user interface and also allow the UI to not have to rely on the update to finish before the user can start looking through the content.

When a new recording of a show that already exists in the MythBoxee cache is found on the backend, it will not update in MythBoxee until one of two things happens

1: A show that does not already exist in the cache (by title) is recorded
2: The app cache is deleted

This stems from line 251 of mythboxee.py. Instead of making the fingerprint only by title, it should use more information (either include the subtitle, or switch to something guaranteed to be unique, like recordid).

I propose changing this line to be
rectitle = rec.title.encode('utf-8') + str(rec.recordid)

I have made this change to my local copy and it solves the issue.

After updated to the latest firmware of the Boxee box (1.0.4.17443). The mythboxee will not load. Attempts to pull from the repository also fail with an error. It appears that all non-native apps require that they be signed.

From http://blog.boxee.tv/2011/02/14/netflix-on-the-boxee-box/

Included in this release is a new Application signing process was introduced with this version. If you are hosting your own Applications Repository, or developing applications on the Boxee Box, make sure to sign up at http://www.boxee.tv/developer, and generate the required keys.

If you are a Boxee Box user who is having an issue with an App in an external repository, please contact the developers and inform them of this change.

When a show is being watched, pause the background processes or at least decrease the frequency in which they run.

In the code where MythBoxee goes out to retrieve data from thetvdb, and it passes the name of a show as part of the URL request, consider adding a call to urllib.quote() around the show name to escape characters properly in the URL. One of my favorites is Law & Order, and without the ampersand escaped, it doesn't come back with the correct banner. Adding the above method solved it for me.

Hi!

The last time I used mythboxee, I could enter the backend information without any issue.

Now, this information won't stick and it seems mythboxee cannot connect to the mythtv backend.

The backend is running and I have the right IP for it. (I can access it via a different computer)
I deleted the directory:

//[email protected]./Users/frontrow/Library/Application%20Support/BOXEE/userdata/apps/com.erikkristensen.mythboxee4

and started from a fresh install from the Boxee GUI for app installation from your repo.

Please provide support for the upcoming MythTV 0.24. MythBoxee presently fails with this:
2010-11-07 19:07:21.000 Python Database Connection: Database schema mismatch: we speak 1254 but database speaks 1264

Hi! I thought it would be a good idea to create a real "ticket" for the problem that was described previously:

It seems if the mythtv database contains recording names with foreign accents (é,è,à) etc mythboxee stalls.

I've noticed an issue for roughly a week now. After starting Mythboxee, the previous group of recording will load (as is the expecting behavior). However, it will no longer refresh with new entries. If I exit Mythboxee while waiting for the refresh, my Boxee will hang. If I enter a group of recordings that existed before (and is not empty), then it will fetch new entries in that group. If the group is now empty, it will hang.

MythBoxee seems to be able to connect to the MythTV backend but part way through the script it throws this error.

I am running MythBoxee 4.23.2 beta and MythTV 0.23.1 with fixes through Mythbuntu.

Here is the full log:
http://pastebin.com/av8be9Qn

Add an about page with version information, links to the website, issues page, source code, and documentation.

I tried out the new version of Mythboxee and it just hangs at the "Loading" screen.

Here is the full log:
http://pastebin.com/xHk8zBRa

Added the ability to see the status of MythTV like that of the MythWeb status page.

For unknown reasons on Windows systems only at this point the mysql library I am using throws an InterfaceError.

Known versions to be affected at this are:

• Windows XP SP3
• Windows 7 x64

If you are experiencing this error, please add a comment with the following information of your system:

1. Windows Version Plus Service Pack and 32 v 64 bit
2. Version of MythBoxee you are running.
3. Your boxee.log (this can be emailed to me personally, the MythBoxee group, or put into a pastebin someplace of your choice)
4. Version of MythTV (mythbackend --version)

Since I haven't had any luck with Vista I tried out the latest 4.23.3 beta on my Ubuntu system.
Some good news I have gathered from this is I don't seem to be having the mysql connection error, I guess that is just a problem with Windows systems...

I seem to be having a problem with a character not encoding properly. I tried changing this recording.title.encode('utf-8') to str(recording.title) but no luck.

Here are both logs.
str(recording.title) http://pastebin.com/ukmAMva1
recording.title.encode('utf-8') http://pastebin.com/CXTPwQp0

After leaving the app running for an extended period of time the Loading Shade doesn't disappear.

Cause is unknown at this time, and no support logs to identify the issue. This is a place holder for troubleshooting.

Add support for movie titles that could be recorded with MythTV.

There is already a python library checked into the repository for this.

Hi, I just found this project and am very excited about seeing this working for Boxee! I'd like to ask for some help with troubleshooting a failed database connection.

Boxee 0.9.20.12594: WinXP 32bit home 2002 at SP3
MythBackend configured with mythconverg database
MythTV: 0.20.2-168.fc6

Yes I know it's old, but I haven't found a new version of myth for Fedora 6. Is this the cause of the problem here?

Snippet from Boxee Log:
NOTICE: >>> MythBoxee: def(init): Start =========================================================
NOTICE: >>> MythBoxee: def(init): Version: 4.0.1.beta
NOTICE: >>> MythBoxee: def(init): Python Version: (2, 4, 5, 'final', 0)

NOTICE: >>> MythBoxee: def(init): Error: Failed to connect to database at 'mythconverg'@'mediaserver'for user 'mythtv' with password 'xxxxxx'.
NOTICE: >>> MythBoxee: def(init): End ===========================================================

So, what I've done:

1. setup the mythtv backend to allow remote frontends using a non localhost IP
2. checked the mysql permissions with:
   mysql> grant all on mythconverg to mythtv@"192.168.2.%" identified by "";
   Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
   mysql> flush privileges;
   Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
3. tested a "telnet" TCP 3306 connection to the mythtv system which returns this:
   5.0.27'1u{+_!%2,☻mP'p~K<+^{qB
4. checked that myth/mysql remote connections work using windows sqlclient
   Remote command "select user from mysql.user limit 0" returns this error:
   ER_TABLEACCESSDENIED_ERROR(114...

Does mythboxee need access to the user table?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've set up MythBoxee (nightly build) to access my MythTV 0.23.1 (MythDora) backend. I'm using the XML stream method. I can't use SMB because I have two storage groups. When I try to play a TV episode on a Windows 7 system, I get only a pure white screen and no sound. On my Ubuntu system, I get a black screen. I can play other content in Boxee. This only happens in Mythboxee. Is there any other information I can provide to help resolve this?
