Hey Erik.

I was pretty excited to discover your MythBoxee project, looks
awesome. I downloaded the beta, and manually entered in my MySQL
info, but I keep the error "Failed to connect to the MythTV Backend".
I'm running MythTV 0.24RC2 and the Boxee logs are showing a schema
mismatch, I suspect that's the reason it's failing. If so, can you
add support for MythTV 0.24? I tried the MythBoxee nightly build as
well, but it fails for various other reason ("No module named
mythboxee", "name 'mbs' is not defined", etc.) and doesn't seem to
want to save my backend information at all.

I can make a ticket in Github if you'd like too, but figured I'd ask
here first to confirm why it's failing. Incidentally, I'm running
Debian Unstable, and my MythTV install is coming from the
http://debian-multimedia.org/ repository.

Hi Todd,

Currently the app does not support 0.24, however I'll look into see if
I can add support for 0.24.

As for the error on the nightly, can you send me the entire log when
you run the nightly? If you could launch boxee, then launch the
nightly once it errors out, exit and send me that log so I can take a
look.

Thanks,
-Erik

That isn't making much sense.

What operating system are you running? What version of boxee are you running?

Hi Erik.

On running Debian Unstable (current as of Nov. 6, 2010). I'm running
the lastest 64-bit Ubuntu build (Boxee Beta 0.9.22.13692 for Ubuntu
64bit) that's available on the Boxee website.

When running the MythBoxee beta, I don't get the same odd errors as I
do when trying to run the nightly. I had assumed you were doing some
overhaul of the MythBoxee code, that's why the nightly was acting so
strange.

Todd,

Well actually the nightly is right now considered the more stable
version, I just haven't packaged it up and released it yet.

It would be really helpful if you could attach the entire log to an
email or post it a http://mythboxee.pastebin.com

Whats the behavior of the app with those errors? Does it just not
load? Does it prompt you to configure your system at all?

Thanks,
-Erik

Hey Erik

I've posted two pastebin logs, one is the full output of the beta
(just to show that the beta works better than the nightly for
me :-), and then the full nightly log. The nightly pastebin has a
bit of commentary interspersed, to let you know what's happening on
screen.

Here's the beta log:
http://mythboxee.pastebin.com/cAPiqacY

Here's the nightly log:
http://mythboxee.pastebin.com/21KFtmek

As I mention in the nightly log, the plugin loads, but doesn't prompt
me to configure. I can select Settings in the upper right, but any
configuration information I enter doesn't get saved.

Ack! I completely forgot when I replied to you that you are running 0.24.

Sorry I didn't mean to make you do extra work but at this time the app
doesn't support 0.24.

It should be fairly simple to make it work with 0.24, but my dilemma
is on how to do project management and support the two branches of
mythtv right now.

No worries. I am going to make a ticket for MythTV 0.24 support, so I
can keep track of the progress, though. :-)

Thanks muchly!

Any update on 0.24? Rpmfusion just updated their version of MythTv to
0.24. I have not updated yet since I do not have time to debug anything
until January most likely.

Its going to be a bit of 0.24 support right now, it will be at least
another good week or two before I can dedicate some time to this.

Unfortunately the API has changed alot of the mythtv python bindings
for the 0.24 release so I have to tweak several things to make it
work.

I will try and get to it as soon as possible.

-Erik
