Recording a live stream doesn't work #45

richardambridge · 2012-11-15T19:39:44Z

Goto Live TV, Channels, select a channel, play live tv.

While watching, bring up the menu, move the Rec button on the far right, XBMC will indicate it is recording.
Stop the live TV
Goto MythTV and the recording isn't happening.

Mythtv backend shows the recording in 'Upcoming' but it isn't recording it:

The xbmc.log file is here: http://www.pastebin.ca/2251869

I had to delete a lot of the log file as it was huge with debug on.
Let me know if you need some of the stuff I removed.

fiveisalive · 2012-11-18T01:54:25Z

Yep, I saw this problem in earlier releases too.

janbar · 2012-11-21T07:22:54Z

I am looking for it.

janbar · 2012-11-21T08:40:27Z

Addon didn't find the show in program table. So the start time is null. I must review the query and also when no show found then default start time with rec start timestamp.
Eh no, record was deleted from the database but rule exists yet. We must use Myth protocol to stop record with "STOP RECORDING" and then delete the rule with "RESCHEDULE RECORDING". If rule exists yet then next record of the same show will not start because the rule exists and is deactivated.

janbar · 2012-11-21T23:32:18Z

Need a full rework of "DeleteTimer" and "UpdateTimer".

janbar · 2012-11-23T01:38:24Z

It is not possible to resolve it with the actual code. Because "Timer" instance does not exist yet. To resolve it we must create a proginfo from timer before calling "STOP RECORDING". This functionnality does not exist. My new branch (fixes-6) including "Recording Schedule" structure can support this functionnality by casting "MythTimer" (alias cmyth_recschedule) instance to "MythPrograminfo" (alias cmyth_proginfo). Then we can call the function "cmyth_proginfo_stop_recording()", delete rule from DB, and finally call "cmyth_conn_reschedule_recording()".

janbar · 2012-11-24T03:39:36Z

I requested to pull changes from my branch "cmyth_refactoring" (fixes-6 was renamed). Now i can start to resolve this issue. So probably soon.

janbar · 2012-11-26T23:00:43Z

PR #50 could by help to resolve it. No more issue for me.

Fixes issue #45. - Properly remove recording rules (overrides, parent rules) - Stop recordings before deleting them with StopRecording() - Unify setup of new rules with PVRtoMythRecordingRule() - Support more fields of PVR_TIMER_STATE

fetzerch · 2012-11-30T20:23:15Z

@richardambridge: I pushed janbar's fixes. Can you please rebuild the addon and try if it works for you?

richardambridge · 2012-12-03T08:49:04Z

I have tried the last code.
Its an improvement, but still not working.

Goto EPG
Select program, select switch
Watch TV
Move mouse, menu appears, click on the record button.
Popup window indicates: PVR Recording starting.. XYZ 1970-01-01
Stop playback.

EPG now shows all programs on that channel are set to record

Mythbackend shows nothing happening on any encoders. Nothing in recordings or upcoming recordings.

If you exit and then go back in, the 'Currently recording' in LiveTV is now showing
Start time 03/12/2012 8:42 AM
Lorraine -- 1970-01-01 02:00:00

But nothing is recording

janbar · 2012-12-03T18:50:39Z

@richardambridge
Cannot reproduce. Your end time record is 1970-01-01 02:00:00. Addon receive it from XBMC. Can you post your log with extralog option (setup in addon setting and restart xbmc) please.

Wasn't it so that mythtv got confused if you have tried to delete a recording without the patch?
@janbar what was required? cleaning database? / restarting mythbackend?

janbar · 2012-12-03T20:16:13Z

To cleanup bad things before the patch:

stop mythbackend (sometimes need force using kill -9).
connect to mysql mythconverg and "delete from record
where unix_timestamp(starttime) < 100000"
commit
restart mythbackend

richardambridge · 2012-12-04T08:29:13Z

The above sql was slightly wrong, it should be startdate not starttime, otherwise it would have deleted all my recordings.

I deleted the rows that had startdate of 1970

Did same again. EPG, select item from channel, switch, while viewing move mouse, hit rec button.

Log here: http://pastebin.com/7RpdCBFa

Afterwards, mythtv has a new entry in record:

richardambridge · 2012-12-04T08:34:37Z

I had to delete where startdate, not starttime < 100000

Here is the log: http://pastebin.com/JPidhE36

For some reason github is not showing my comments, hope i am not repeating myself:

I pushed the PR #58 to resolve starttime < "2000-01-01" by defaulting at now. But it is not related to the original issue. Richard should use the last master. And also cleanup again the mysql table "record".

janbar · 2012-12-06T23:57:49Z

@richardambridge
Hi, your Addon is not updated to the last merged master. You have yet the old release without the patch about recording rules. To resolve the issue you should update your local copy with the last master.

br.

janbar · 2012-12-07T01:05:41Z

@richardambridge

To refresh your copy of addons: (Linux, mac ... all unix)

Goto your clone of the git repo (xbmc-pvr-addons). Type "make clean" (important, or type it after configure). Then "git pull", "./bootstrap", "./configure --enable-addons-with-dependencies", finally "make zip".

richardambridge · 2012-12-07T08:46:02Z

I think I compiled, but failed to reload the addon :( sorry about that.

Just tried again. Log: http://pastebin.com/PxhbQ8Z6

This time recording works. I watched Breakfast, clicked Record, and mythtv started to record it, and when I stopped xbmc the recording continued.

I assume this is classed as an instant record, as it has defaulted to 180 minutes of record time, rather than use the EPG and record to the scheduled end of the show.

The EPG in mythtv is a bit confused now though:

06:00 AM - 09:15 AM Breakfast 3 hrs 15 mins
08:34 AM - 11:34 AM Breakfast 2012-12-07 08:34:53 3 hrs 9 mins
09:15 AM - 10:00 AM Heir Hunters 45 mins
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Homes Under the Hammer 1 hr
11:00 AM - 11:45 AM Watchdog Daily 45 mins

the 8:34 to 11:34 is the instant record.

So, I say that #52 is closed, recording now works :)
Just the listings are a bit upset.

Thanks
Ric

Thanks Richard. Yes for a direct recording the default duration is setup at 2 hours and you can update it in PVR setup.
Great thanks yet for your help to improve the addon.
