requirements is out of date

[hydra3333]

Hello and thanks for this tool.

The requirements.txt is out of date and caused a later version of jsonpickle to be uninstalled and an earlier version installed in its place. Would it be possible to specify the dependency requirements without a version ?

I guess while I'm here, being new to this thing :
I have 2x Fetch Mighty's.
I know I have a recordings on each, however when I do
python3 ./fetchtv_upnp.py --recordings --ip=xx.xx.xx.21 --port=49152
It lists only 6 of all the recordings on one and none for the other. Should I be using a different command to see what's on the Fetch boxes ? Thanks.

hi @hydra3333. is your setup multiroom? your using different IP's for each fetch when attempting a lookup? are the FM's retail or through an ISP? and the same generation? are all FB's setup on the same account? you can currently see/play/menu recordings recorded on FM1 from FM2? does this also hold true if the internet is down?

my 2c :-)

Supplement to the above @hydra3333 , can VLC see both FM's and play recordings from either?

hi @mesh-newbie](https://github.com/mesh-newbie

is your setup multiroom? yes

you're using different IP's for each fetch when attempting a lookup? yes

are the FM's retail or through an ISP? and the same generation? retail, about 2 or 3 years apart, not sure how to tell what generation they are, M616T ?

are all FB's setup on the same account? yes

you can currently see/play/menu recordings recorded on FM1 from FM2 yes

? does this also hold true if the internet is down? don't know. not sure if it should matter :)

can VLC see both FM's and play recordings from either? not sure how on a PC. on a chromecast, it can see them as local network upnp devices but reports zero recordings on each

Re VLC @hydra3333 simply download and open. Then look in LOCAL NETWORK -> Universal Plug'n'Play Your FM's "should" show up under title.... STB As you click into each one... you should get a tree structure with Recordings and Movies. The more you drill down, the more recordings/folder you will see... its a bit weird in that it only initially shows recordings as files rather than a folder. Expand all doesn't work in this case.

But suffice to say... this is how I think the code is scraping the content/files/folders.

PS: I'm not the dev, just a casual user of the code. PSS: You can actually download files too using VLC (sort of), but it's rather slow and cumbersome and its how I came across this script :p)

[hydra3333]

OK. Tried with VLC (ctrl-L then look at upnp) and the 2 servers show plus a folder tree on each containing Recordings and Movies.

I had a cleanup on the FMs last night, but plenty of recordings (from from free-to-air channels) definitely left on both FMs.

No files show up in any of the folders on either device on VLC nor python3 ./fetchtv_upnp.py --recordings --ip=xx.xx.xx.21 --port=49152

hi @hydra3333 , you noted that "no files" show up in VLC?!... oh my.. that's not a positive sign... only @jinxo13 can answer.....but I suspect that in a multiroom config, fetch does something unique/special with upnp (encryption?? or even to an external API??) if not even VLC can drill down further than "Recordings" to either device :-(

Bugger!

[hydra3333]

I wish I saw what you had, in that attached pic ! Just a thought, does it show anything recorded from a subscribed channel ?

Oh well, a trade-off by the looks, I suppose I could disable multi-room and try again ... but multi-room is currently of more use to us :)

@hydra3333 - regarding the requirements I've just set the minimum, so it shouldn't uninstall a more recent version anymore

[jinxo13]

Unfortunately I only have 1 Fetch box, so I can't test/play the multi-room config :( As @mesh-newbie mentioned if VLC isn't showing them then neither will the script.

@hydra3333 - It sounds like in multi-room may combine the content to appear as 1 library on your Fetch boxes?

Closing this thread as the issue is resolved.
