About
A collection of DirectShow filters and applications that enables playback of MythTV files on windows.
The idea is to make almost any mediaplayer able to handle mythtv files including streaming files from the backend and wathching livetv. |

I think it's time for a little update now that MythTV v0.19 is out.
For a while now i've been doing experimental releases from cvs.
It's whatever is in cvs at the time of the release so it is likely that some things are more or less broken.
Anyway, the latest cvsbuild from 2006-02-12 shold work (more or less) with MythTV v0.19
Most problems are related to livetv and mpeg2.
Short list of known problems in latest build from cvs - It is now possibel to switch livetv enties from a mediaplayer, but this part needs more work, if something bad happends during changing it goes realy bad and the filter is not able to recover properly.
- It can deadlock if you are unlucky.
- MPEG2 TS Seeking is not implemented and length calculcation is not done right.
- I'm prety sure i've broken the length calculations in a few cases.
- Changes during playback to audio and video types in MPEG2 TS streams is not handled. This means that audio disappears if there is a change to the audio stream.
- Video mediatype for mpeg2 is not setup properly, depending on what mpeg2 decoder you use problems with aspect or resolution can happen.
There are many improvements and bugfixes too, for example it's now possibel to start livetv on a specific card and/or channel via a url.
A smal patch for mythweb that add "Watch" links to the program list is available from the download page.
I almost forgot, with the latest version of mediaplayer classic it's no longer needed to disable SHOUTcast to make it work with the myth urls.
And help is always welcomed (documentation, website, coding, a few icons for *.nuv files, config and convert programs)

Some updates
As pointed out in the forums, i forgot to tell in the post below about using mediaplayer classig that as of version 0.10 of the filters this probably only works for mpeg4/rtjpeg nuv files.
I've been looking at doing some kind of semi automatic snapshot builds from cvs, but so far i haven't had much luck geting it to work properly, so i'll probably have to do my own build script or something like that.

How to get media player classic to work
I just thought i should write a short howto get media player classic to work with the filters.
- If you haven't already done so, download media player classic, you can find it here
- Extract mplayerc.exe some were and start it.
- Open the options dialog (View menu and then Options...)
- In the tree view to the left, click on Filters and then uncheck the source filter "SHOUTcast"
- Start the configuration program for the mythtv filters and select "File associations" from the tree.
- Use the browse buttons to browse for the mplayerc.exe file you extracted previously, if you want to, you can change all 3 to use mplayerc.exe
The reason you have to disable shoutcast is because the shoutcast filter tries to connect to the hostname specified in the url as if it was a web server.
This causes a realy long delay and the backend complains with something like:
Protocol error: 'GET /100' is not a valid size prefix. 149 bytes pending.
Unknown socket closing
When you use media player classic, don't use the buttons (change channel/switch card/start livetv) on the propertypage of the mythtv source filter.
If you do, media player classic will most likely crash.
One nice feature of media player classic is that it updates the seek bar and length properly when you watch a recording as it's being recorded.

0.10.0 Released
New release, mostly because of the protocol change.
This release is for the cvs version of MythTV, the network stuff will not work with MythTV 0.17
This release contains a new tooltip shell extension and a conversion program that allows you to convert mpeg4 nuv files to avi.
Just right click on a nuv file and select convert to avi.

News: 0.9.0 Released
I've released a new version of the filters for mythtv, one that works with version 0.17 of mythtv.
I have started on fixing mpeg2 livetv, but it's not finished so that part of the code is disabled in this release to avoid causing problems.
Because of some changes to mythtv, windows will not be able to play mpeg2 ps (program stream) files recorded from dvb at all, this is because the microsoft mpeg2 spliter/demuxer filter doesn't like the files.
To make them work you have to run the file thru replex (linux tool), after that is done the resulting file shoud be playable.
Unless replex craps out as it does for me with some files, but i guess that might be caused by bad reception and/or crappy dvb card or powersupply.
For the changelog take a look here
I got some requests to release more often so those that use the cvs version of mythtv can use the filters for example when there is a protocol update.
So i'll try to release more often.

Development: Channel changing
The last few days i've been working on geting channel changing working properly.
It seems to be working, so far i have been able to change channels several times in a row without crashing or lockups.
Seeking seems to work too.
It was tricky to make it work and i'm not sure i got all stuff right.

News: 0.7.1 Released
New release, mostly bugfixes and a few new features.
Take a look here for the full changelog.
It took a while for this release becuase i bought an Epia M10K and have been busy trying to get it to work the way i want it.
Still haven't figured out why the aspect ratio is so messed up when X uses 720x576 resolution, parts of livetv is outside the screen (DisplaySize is set to a 16:9 ratio in X config file)
