Hi,
Hi,
1. Does the plugin_external_tuner stuff still work in this version? I have figured out how to do video groups to select my composite input, but I can't get the external tuner stuff to work. Here's my commands (I am trying to call an external routine to change the channel on my Sony DSS via the Sony's serial port).
Yes, it works in 1.5.x. However after a quick look at the tvtime plugin I see that it doesn't have the right hooks to make it work.
plugin_external_tuner = plugin.activate('tv.irsend_generic', args=('/home/tony/freevo_test', ))
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video0',
adev=None,
input_type='composite',
input_num=1,
tuner_type='external',
desc='Sony DSS',
recordable=True),
]
Yep, looks good.
2. Is the channels.py program used for changing the channels for viewing television, recording television, both, or neither? I put some debugging print statements in there and it doesn't seem to get called for tv viewing when changing the channel. I haven't tried recording yet.
Both. Anything changing the channel should call chanSet() which looks at the VideoGroup and decides what to do, change the channel itself (v4l2), let the player do it, or send it to the external tuner plugin.
If you feel adventurous try adding some self.fc.chanSet(tuner_channel)
calls in tvtime.py, it may only need one near the top of Play() as I see one inside the UP and DOWN events - the self.app.write() calles there will certainly be a problem as well (put them in an if/else or comment them. You can also try chanUp()/Down().
When I have some time I will try to remember to fix this properly in CVS (rel-1-5 branch). Good luck.
