Hello, I am unable to get the vlc playlist populated with channels retrieved from tvheadend.

Steps to reproduce:

go to the view menu and activate the playlist item.
In the playlist window press tab key several times in order to focus tree where available services are displaylist. Playlist is the default.
Arrow down to Local network and expand it using the right arrow key.
then arrow down to the tvheadend entry and activate it with the enter key.

Expected results: The vlc playlist should get populated with the list of channels retrieved from tvheadend.

Actual results: The playlist is remaing empty all the time.

Notes: I have tried with self compiled module as well as with the module downloaded from your jenkins. hts protocol connection is working because I can recognize something like this in the vlc log output htsp debug: Got Message with method channelUpdate While trying to open another service discovery services for example upnp I am getting this in the output main debug: adding services_discovery upnp{longname="Universal Plug'n'Play"}... I am unable to see an entry like this for htsp access module.

Did you configure your HTSP server details in the VLC Settings? Just search for HTSP in advanced settings. And make sure you didn't just miss to expand the "Channels" item.

pvagner commented 11 years ago

Hello, I am unable to find the settings you are reffering to. I have opened Tools -> Preferences then changed simple to all and wrote htsp into the filter box. I can only find settings you can see in my .vlcrc .

Greetings

Peter

BtbN commented 11 years ago

Then someting with your plugin installation is broken, or you're using a very old version. There are settings for "HTSP Server Port", "HTSP Server Address", "HTSP Username" and "HTSP Password". I'm able to find them exactly the way you described.

pvagner commented 11 years ago

I cann see these settings. I assumed there are some more settings regarding channels. I have no username and password set. going to the Media -> Add network stream... I can enter for example htsp://127.0.0.1:9982/1 and it works fine. However what I am looking for is seeing the channel list and if possible even with some basic epg info. I have my plugin in a folder /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/

BtbN commented 11 years ago

The way VLC works only allows to add EPG for the currently running channel, not for all available channels, and it also only works while playing a channel. But the Settings are exactly for the service discovery mode. The access mode doesn't care for them, as it gets its settings from the url. Channel Listing works great for me with the latest build from Jenkins. It does NOT add them to the main Playlist. It lists them on LAN->Tvheadend HTSP

pvagner commented 11 years ago

hmm. I cant figure it out. Here is how my playlist window looks like. Do you have an idea? Obrazovka z 2013-03-10 17:13:24

Check the debug log from VLC and tvh. Service Discovery definitly works with the latest tvh git master

This is all with tvheadend transcoding branch by John tormblon. The same can be seen with master branch.

BtbN commented 11 years ago

Are you sure you are using the latest git? Cause current HTSP version is 9, and the plugin reports tvh htsp version 7. I have not tested this with any other version than the latest git.

pvagner commented 11 years ago

Now I have updated to the latest tvheadend master branch. It stilll does not do service discovery for me. I will try to recreate the config and I will see.

BtbN commented 11 years ago

Just make sure you configured it propperly. Can't realy tell what's wrong, as its working perfectly fine for me.

ridams commented 11 years ago

I had this in the past but deleting all tvheadend config then reconfiguring will work ; just

sudo rm -rf /home/hts rm -rf /home/youruser/.hts

then sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend

and spécify user and pwd for the web interface, the add your channels, or for best restart tvheadend after dpkg-reconfigure;

good luck.

pvagner commented 11 years ago

I have finally figured it out by reading the source code. The problem is that your access module expects to have channels numberred. I am not sure if that has changed in current git master branch but I think by default all channels had a number 0 and that has not been working well. I think the code should be updated to deal with ids instead of numbers and only use numbers for sorting.

While we are at it. Would it be doable to add channel tags into the tree? Now there is a root node called channels and all the channels are dumped inside.

Greetings

Peter

pvagner commented 11 years ago

I have simply commented out the condition where you are checking for channel number because all the channels do have it however by default it is set to 0 and this condition will succeed thus failing to add the channels if they are not numberred.

Latest commits should fix this.

pvagner commented 11 years ago

Yeah avesome! I have seen the commits. You have even implemented my feature request regarding channel tags.

Should I report such requests as a seperate github issues?

For example another crazy one just popped up on my mind. Would it be possible to fake the input stream title so it will also contain the channel name and also the current EPG event? Or might this cause conflicts and you would rather avoid this?

Greetings

Peter

BtbN commented 11 years ago

VLC has an internal api to populate the items with epg info. But as i tested it, adding the EPG info just did nothing, VLC did not display it in any way. The access module already has full EPG support for the current channel. Just play a channel and open Tools->Program Guide
