Sorry j-christ.

Btw, the issues I say 3 posts above are related to the new aluminium Apple remote?

Bye!

[j-christ]

1- I can't change channels using Apple remote. Have to press Menu button to go back to All channels list, and then pick the new one. ( Left and Right Apple remote's buttons have no effect.) (Using new alu remote, might these be the problem?) Edit: I installed also candelair, but either with leopard compat enabled or not, makes no difference.

Unfortunately I don't know about this; I don't have the new apple remote, but I doubt that's related. Every forum topic I've seen on this issue seems to say it's resolved by Candelair's Leopard compat mode. I know Elgato is aware of the problem and a fix is in the works.

2- When I quit front row, eyetv icon remains at the dock but I read anywhere that the plugin was coded to shut completely down the application. Is this normal?

PyeTV does not attempt to quit EyeTV (it might be recording, after all), but it does close all open windows.

I am just wondering am I the only one having problems with new pyetv build? Is anyone else having problem that recordings are not shown when pressing play but just showing desktop for a while and returning to frontrow "eyetv/play recording menu"? Happening 100% times for me. Watching channels is working OK. I was not able to make working build from latest changes and could not verify is this already fixed.

Thank you,

There's an update in SVN which might address this issue. Also, did this happen for you with EyeTV 3.2.1, or just 3.3.

[teddyb]

I had thid problem also with eyetv 3.2.1... I was not able to figure out build from SVN. I am getting build done but EyeTV menu is not existing in FrontRow after that and I am getting some errors in console.

Here is the log with original 2.0.1 when trying to play recording, is this helping you? I also realised that there is no this "launching eyetv" text appearing (like when opening challel) but only circle running.

I found reason why my PyeTv is not opening recordings... Recording Title, episode or description can not contain any scandinavian letters (ä,ö,å). I tried several things from python scripts but not succeeded to fix this? This can be also some Snow Leopard related bug or setting issue? Is there anyone else faced this problem or even fixed this?

Yes, I have the same problem with titles containing (german) umlauts like ö, ä, ü. Here is a fix that works for me (only very slightly tested; I will submit a more complete patch in the PyeTV issue tracker later). The problem is that the log() function in etv.py doesn't handle unicode:

PS: Jon; thanks for your fantastic work on this plugin!

[j-christ]

Version 2.5 with Danish, German, Spanish, Finnish, French, and Dutch translations is now available. This version also contains tweaks to unicode handling so hopefully non-ascii characters in series/episode titles won't cause problems.

[rei_vilo]

Bonjour Jon,

Great work, congratulations

Unfortunately, I've a problem with the French release All the letters with an accent like é à î are shown with strange double-letters .

é is shown as î

French Accented Letters

I guess unicode is there... How to fix that

Best regards,

[j-christ]

Bonjour Jon,

Great work, congratulations

Unfortunately, I've a problem with the French release All the letters with an accent like é à î are shown with strange double-letters .

é is shown as î

I've just posted 2.5.1 which actually includes the translation.py file (the previous version did not). Hopefully that will resolve your problem.

I'm not sure how you even got any translation at all if you were working from the binary distribution! The strange double-letters you indicate are what happens when the text file which contains the translations is saved with the wrong encoding. I opened my copy in xcode and used View->Text->File encoding to make sure it was UTF-8 encoded.

[rei_vilo]

Bonsoir Jon,

Release 2.5.1 works fine, with the right letters and accents.

No problem with EyeTV 3.3 and Mac OS X 10.6.2.

Thank you very much

[zztopz]

Hi!

The last release works fine with Spanish.

P.S: Are we safe uploading to 3.3?

[m.tv]

hi, apologize up front for not having screened the whole thread for this. hopefully this was not discussed before.

I would appreciate if the first option in the menu was simply "open EyeTV with the last channel". Most of the time I zap around anyway, so to select a specific channel in FrontRow is nice and a good feature, but user experience would be better for me if i could just go: main menu --> EyeTV --> Open. two clicks of the remote to get to watching tv.

below that you can keep recordings, fav channels and full channel listings. that would be in my mind the perfect way to give the user both quick access to "whatever" and to specific content.

please let me know what you think.

[teddyb]

Hello,

2.5.1 works quite fine also with Finnish translation but I still sometimes get some errors when I am exiting PyeTV. Usually happens when EyeTV has been open for long time and then I return to PyeTV and back through front row to desktop. When exiting PyeTV and front row EyeTV window is not normally closed and I am returning to EyeTV window instead of desktop. Anyone else facing same problem, see log attached.

Bonjour,

No problem running PyeTV 2.5.1 on EyeTV 3.3 but, when I delete a file (eg. a record from a series), it is still shown on the list

Best regards,

[rei_vilo]

Bonjour,

Two (minors) bugs I've discovered using PyeTV :

1. when I delete a file (eg. a record from a series), it is still shown on the list
2. when I go up and down on a record list, the selected record is black and the name of the record is not shown.

Bug #2

Best regards,

[theller]

> Two (minors) bugs I've discovered using PyeTV :

I have observed this also, but it only occurs when the record title is longer than the available space.

[rei_vilo]

I have observed this also, but it only occurs when the record title is longer than the available space.

Yes, but only for the EyeTV section of FrontRow.

Similar long titles for trailers work fine.

Maybe, something could be done

[delos]

Sorry to bother the forum again, but I'm experiencing an odd behaviour from frontrow since I upgraded both eyetv to 3.3 and Pyetv to 2.5.1 under Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
When I start an mpeg2 stream from within frontrow, the mpeg2 component is correctly installed, the stream suddendly goes black for half a second and then continues to play, till the same black out happens again. The frequency is quite high: the screen goes black every two minutes for just a blink of an eye.
This is what console reports about frontrow process:
02.03.10 20:56:16 FrontRow[624] T:[0xa0b5c500] BRVideoPlayerStateMachine: Recieved kVideoPlayerActionPause action

I've just spent the whole Sunday afternoon, making some trials. I've disinstalled PyeTV 2.5.1 and I still have the same issue with the same console log. Definitively it's not a Pyetv correlated issue. Does anyone have a suggestion?

[liebrand]

Hey J-christ

Just about all recordings I make dont seem to have any descriptions. This is due to silly EPG here in the UK, where the description gets put in the episode field.

I've made a small change to your etv.py to handle this... thought you might be interested?

Code: Select all

   
def GetDescription(self):
        log("GetDescription called")
        try:
            ret = self.rec.description.get()
        except:
            return ""
        if ret == "":
            try:
                ret = self.rec.episode.get()
            except:
                ret = ""
        log("GetDescription done")
        return ret


[j-christ]

PyeTV has been updated to work with EyeTV 3.4. For some reason,
EyeTV 3.4 no longer automatically opens windows when the channel change apple event is sent, so I have to manually open the live tv window.

Enjoy!

I uninstalled PyeTV some time ago but would like to install it again. I live in the UK so would like to incorporate this code. Only problem is that I am an end user. In Janet & John style, exactly how would I add this code?
