XBMC Live TV

[Dan]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to know if anyone is working on updating the XBMC module to include Live TV.

My client wants to use the Live TV implementation on the XBMC but that part it not available on the current module yet.

Thank you in advance for your help/advice.

Hi

Which xbmc version are you used ?

[Daniel Wikstrom]

Hi Nico,

We're currently using Gotham XBMC 13.0 Git:0d1d803 (Compiled: May 5 2014)

Not sure the current module on GitHub works properly on this version as it seems to crash on my iPad regularly. I need some more testing.

Tvheadend HTSP Client for the PVR client

Tbheadend 4.1.2 from openelec.tv

Ok for this version I recommand to use json pasing.

you can list channel with methods:

PVR.GetChannel

I am a little disappointed with the live tv control over json.

I insert this in our module in less then 15 minutes, because there is nothing cool to insert.

Basically we get the groups and then the channels. I don´t found any way to access the EPG.

I am almost sure that i can do that accessing the add -on that is controlling the EPG, but since that are a lot of add-on doing that, will be impossible to handle this on the interface.

I will try to found a way to insert a EPG on the interface, i am not sure how, but i will not give up soon.

Best regards

Clayton

Ok for this version I recommand to use json pasing. There you have some lif of methods to adapt some pvr actions and feedback:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=JSON-RPC_API/v6#PVR.GetChannelDetails

you can just adapt in your code and he works great.

Hi Clayton,

For Frodo you need to attack database with php this is what I did. 

For gotham you have methods, just need Json introspect. you can find like  PVR.Fields.Broadcast or PVR.Details.Broadcast by exemple. There you can have for each channels position inside program, name, plot, genre,.... I did inside my application.

I have no time to become your beta tester yet but next month I will happy to test your application.

Best regards

Hi Nicolas,

I just tested and works well, thanks man. I am not using Gotham size i am using MySql and until now i don´t found a way to make Gotham work with it.

I can´t force users that are using Frodo to attack the database with PHP and i can ´t insert something that will only work for Gotham. I have to think about that.

Gotham has some nice new features on the JSON API like set systems properties, i would like to insert this on the interface too, but since  that will not work for Frodo i am afraid that will let the interface a little confuse to use. 

Maybe i will have to check the Xbmc version when the interface connected with it and then show/hide some buttons or tabs that will let the user to have access for Gotham only functions.

I think that i should launch the interface now without the EPG and then insert it on the future, since i have to plan how will looks like, all channels in a single page with all descriptions(lot of work) ? or only the info of a specific channel when a user select it ? 

Best Regards

Sure, you can use specific channel and have feedback of that one only. Just need specified inside your request . by exemple with this method:

  "PVR.GetBroadcasts": {
    "type": "method",
    "description": "Retrieves the program of a specific channel",
    "transport": "Response",
    "permission": "ReadData",
    "params": [
      { "name": "channelid", "$ref": "Library.Id", "required": true },
      { "name": "properties", "$ref": "PVR.Fields.Broadcast" },
      { "name": "limits", "$ref": "List.Limits" }
    ],
    "returns": { "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "limits": { "$ref": "List.LimitsReturned", "required": true },
        "broadcasts": { "type": "array", "required": true,
          "items": { "$ref": "PVR.Details.Broadcast" }
        }
      }
    }
  },

Montlesse and opdenkamp did very nice job, you can also do recording for specific broadcast,....

[Clayton Vicente]

Yep, for one channel will be very easy to insert. To insert a real EPG control will not be difficult, but is a lot of work to do. 

This is a old project to test a EPG control (SKY HDTV), bad graphics since i was just trying to create the EPG, works, but this is a lot of work to do and i don´t have much time free now.

Anyway, let me insert a EPG for single channel first (Only for Gotham), i will see how it will look like. I can insert a full EPG later when i get more time free.

Best regards

your timeline is great Clayton, what I did in my application, when list appear I will parse Json feedback limited with filter for 1 broadcast for each channels.

If your timeline is available for sharing I will happy to add some features inside later.

Good work ;)

[Clayton Vicente]

I dont think that this project will be useful for you Nicolas, it's a mess. But i will create one for our module, i will let you know.

For now i am just playing a little with what i will be able to do. Little preview attached, i am parsing the data yet.
