[vdrpylib-devel] Same work here

[Sebastien L. <seb...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Just a little mail to say that I've done almost the same job as you :
make vdrpylib work with VDR1.3.x. I was updating all the headers to
write all the changes I've done wher I had a look on vdrpylib.sf.net.

Well I should have looked at vdrpylib.sf.net before ...... the package
here is almost like mine.

I should have been lazy this time.

I'll check the difference between the cvs and my code and I'll post on
this list.

Bye and thanks for the job.

DOH!  Oh well.

That would be great!  I have some uncommited code but its mostly 
indentation cleanups.  I am currently also looking at timers and adding 
to the interface there.

Thanks for your interest.  BTW, what kind of application are you using / 
writing to use vdrpylib?  Just curious here.

I started a VDR client on my Xbox with XBMC (via Streamdev). Currently
it can show live TV and EPG. But it's not ready to be shown ;).

No worries. I'm pretty sure there are some things we can reuse and merge.
Also it's great to have another user/developer.
Btw, did you use the "original" telnetlib approach or plain socket 
communication?
I'm curious because i have some trouble with the telnet stuff from time 
to time.
This is especially true when i fetch larger amounts of data like the 
whole EPG, for example.

Great!
@Rob: sorry about the latest "out-of-time" phase here
I'm pretty sure you know those issues which are common to all open 
source developers. :-)

Yes I used the original Telnetlib approach. But I've had the same
problems you have and I finally found a fix. I'll send svdrp.py
tomorrow.

Bye.

No doubt.

Sure is!

The recent changes in PyEPG might make this more tolerable as our EPG is 
filled using VDR's periodicly using tv_grab -s vdr, therefore the guide 
is as fast as usual (heh, which still needs speedup work).

Yeah, sure do!  Just take it easy though, your contributions are 
certainly appreciated.

That's kindof the same thing we've been doing with Freevo.  Right now 
for live-tv I've been using vdr-xine or mplayer with streamdev.  For 
recording I've been streaming from streamdev and soon to have a real 
interface with timers to get VDR doinf the recordings and compare the 
results.

For the EPG I've added support to PyEPG 
(http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/freevo-2.0/SourceDoc/PyEPG - also 
maintained with Freevo but is a seperate library) for importing the VDR 
EPG.  I can give some examples of its usage is you're interested.
