MythTV integration for Remote Two

A MythTV integration for the Unfolded Circle Remote Two allowing control of a MythTV frontend via the MythTV Frontend Service.

Installation

Setup

Setup a Python venv:

$ make venv # or venv-test
$ source venv/bin/activate

Configuration

The integration is configured via environment variables:

Variable name	Default
INTG_MYTHTV_HOST	localhost
INTG_MYTHTV_NAME	Inherits INTG_MYTHTV_HOST
INTG_MYTHTV_PORT	6547

See also the environment variables defined in the Python integration library to control certain runtime features like listening interface.

Run

$ ./venv/bin/python3 ./intg-mythtv/driver.py

Systemd

Copy integration-mythtv.service to /etc/systemd/system/integration-mythtv.service and edit to suit your environment and where you have installed the integration. Then:

# systemctl enable integration-mythtv.service
# systemctl start integration-mythtv.service

Docker

$ docker build -t intg-mythtv . 
$ docker run -it -p 9090:9090 --rm intg-mythtv

or with compose:

$ docker compose build
$ docker compose up

Add to Remote

Assuming locally running core simulator:

$ uuid=$(uuidgen)
$ curl --location 'http://localhost:8080/api/intg/drivers' \
   --user "web-configurator:1234" \
   --json '
{
 "driver_id": "$uuid",
  "name": {
    "en": "mythtv"
  },
  "driver_url": "ws://localhost:9090/ws",
  "icon": "uc:integration",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "enabled": true
}'

Adjust to use your actual remote URL, PIN and the hostname of your MythTV frontend.
