myGBPVR: use XMBC as GBPVR FrontEnd

[Ton]

Hey,

Just to be sure, could you provide a wire-shark trace (or other SOAP tracing) of the SOAP traffic? That would allow me to determine what exactly is going on... I haven't seen this with relation to the dates before, but it might be related to specific (US) date/time settings on the server or the Python client???

i'm getting this also..

everything seems to be in it's proper place..
any ideas?
dates are correct on both machines..ewa working fine locally and remotely..
does it require a certain dotnet ver or something like that?
any external dll's needed? do i have to install 2xbmc?

Hey,

Looks like you're close... Only thing missing, as far as I can see, is the Crypto libraries...

I thought I had it written down quite okay in the "readme" file....

Code:

PyCrypto:
This is a framework for cryptographic codes under python.
It's used because the communication of userid's and passwords with EWA is encrypted.

for Windows:
You will need to install Python first, since the PyCrypto installer requires this.
I recommend installing Python 2.4.6 (since this is what XBMC is using).
Download Python from here: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.6/

Next, download a binary distribution of PyCrypto (for python 2.4).

I found it here: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml (pycrypto-2.0.1.win32-py2.4.zip)

Run the installer and copy the PyCrypto directory from your Python installation:
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\Crypto
to this directory:
C:\Users\[your user]\Appdata\Roaming\XBMC\Scripts\resources\lib

So, to re-frase, first download and install Python 2.4.6. Then download the file in the link above:
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml

Browse down that page. It's a bit messy, but near the bottom is the link to: "pycrypto-2.0.1.win32-py2.4.zip". Download that. Inside is a executable that you can just run, and it will install the PyCrypto libraries to your Python install (C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages). Copy the "Crypto" library from there to your myGBPVR install, and you should be fine...

There are some notices about export-restrictions in the original archive, that's why I don't want to include it in my zip-file. Sorry for that, otherwise the install would be a lot simpler. Maybe one of you wants to host a version of myGBPVR with the PyCrypto libraries included....

Yeah i provided an username and an password.

The EWA has an logfile?! Where is that stored?
Can u tell me the exactly "path" which mygbpvr tries to open? Is it http://127.0.0.1:7647/gbpvr/ ? I ask because at http://127.0.0.1 i get an 404 not found error message so it would help which file it tries to open. **EDIT**: http://127.0.0.1:7647/gbpvr/public/servi...foXML.aspx <- correct? **/EDIT**
I installed python meanwhile but how do i add these crypto thing?



Ok meanwhile i am a bit smarter ... and the xbmc-logfile changed to:

07:42:41 T:2964 M:2444042240 NOTICE: --> AreYouThere() returning: True

But those crypto thing is still not installed ... i dont know how ... maybe an little guide for that would be cool ... i cant imagine that everyone know how to work with python ....

** EDIT 2 **
I installed python-2.6.5.amd64.msi now.
Than i had to find out how to work with it ...
I had to register the python path by myself to manage to install these library...
During the installation this happens:

python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'Crypto.Hash.MD2' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

These vcvarsall.bat belongs to visual c++ ... and as far as i know only to visual c++ 2010 ...
this is quite a lot to install just for your script ... i guess u are an programmer and u have such tools installed on your pc ...

Hi,

Looks like you hit a bug in my code....

This:

Code:

argument 1 must be unicode or str

tells me that there's possibly something wrong in code...

Could you drop the file in the attached zip in "....myGBPVR/resources/src/gbpvr" (copy the old file if you want), and run it again... There should be a lot more info in the log-file afterwards....

Then post back, and I'll have a look to see if I can find what's going on....

Hi - First post... I'm hoping that this script will enable me to have a single box under my TV that does everything

I have xbmc running on an ion based htpc, communicating with a Win 7 server for gb-pvr. On two windows machines I can browse and see the EPG and see the config pages/logs etc. From xbmc, all I am able to do is browse the EPG.

Whenever I start myGBPVR, I get a can't connect to server message. The log from xbmc is (mac address set correctly, but not shown below):

I have v83 installed (did a re-install just before testing to check!) and copied the Crypto directories from Python2.6 as suggested.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Do you have a manual recording in there? I'm getting a recording with no title (I don't ever use manual recording, that's why I didn't code for that)...

If that's the case, I can probably provide a fix real quickly...

Could you check your recordings? It's this one:

End date: 2010-4-7 19:42
title: None
start: 2010-4-7 19:39
channel: BBC1 West
rectype: once

Thanks. OK, we have from xbmc.log:

Yup - correct! I was testing GBPVR out. I'll leave it there for the moment to help with debug

Hey,

Did you check the section in the readme-file that explains the installation of the crypto module?

Code:

PyCrypto:
This is a framework for cryptographic codes under python.
It's used because the communication of userid's and passwords with EWA is encrypted.

for Windows:
You will need to install Python first, since the PyCrypto installer requires this.
I recommend installing Python 2.4.6 (since this is what XBMC is using).
Download Python from here: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.6/

Next, download a binary distribution of PyCrypto (for python 2.4).

I found it here: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml (pycrypto-2.0.1.win32-py2.4.zip)

Run the installer and copy the PyCrypto directory from your Python installation:
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\Crypto
to this directory:
C:\Users\[your user]\Appdata\Roaming\XBMC\Scripts\resources\lib

Due to possible copyright and legal issues, I will not be providing this library in the public domain.

for Linux:
Get the package from your package-framework (for ubuntu, the package is called "python-crypto"), i.e. on
a XBMC-live CD, run "sudo pkg-get install python-crypto".

Then, copy the libraries from your python-shared directory to the script-directory...
I.e. on a XBMC-live CD, run the following:
"cp -Rp /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Crypto ~/.xbmc/scripts/myGBPVR/resources/lib/"

You need to end-up with a directory called: ..../myGBPVR/resources/lib/Crypto with some files and sub-directories....

Hi,
It now works.. It was me that did not place it under the myGBPVR directory but in the root of the scripts directory... My bad sorry!

Now I was in the process of setting up the 2XBMC part and there is no PostProcessing.bat file in my GBPVR directory.. Is it something that I need to create myself ?

I also tried to run the 2XBMC file on it's own and did not work. Says invalid stream

I run 2XBMC mpeg.file GBPVR folder that contains the recordings ?

Thanks again!

Hey,

Just to verify:

- You have EWA version 83 installed
- You have defined a userid and password (no unicode characters in userid and/or password) both in myGBPVR and in EWA (trhough Config)
- EWA works correctly via the browser

If all is correct, could you please do the following:
1) Post a snippet of the EWA log-file, there may be something there....
2) Get a trace of the SOAP-calls going through the system (with Wireshark or another SOAP tracing tool)

If you could get me that info, I could see if I can help you...

Also, the "readme" file is in the zip-file that is part of the first post...

Oh sorry Ton!

I have only the msi-file of your mygbpvr ... so no readme anymore ... and my desktop looks like after an huge bomb attac actually
Well i got it to install Python 2.4 and those crypto thing ...
What should i say .... new error message ...

I've seen there is someone else who had that error but i havent seen any suggestions to fix that problem, so what can i do now?

Hi,

Yes, you need to create PostProcessing.bat yourself, if it isn't there yet...

With regards to 2XBMC, it reads the recording meta-data from the file's alternate stream. This is only available on a NTFS file-system, unsure if that's what you're using. I think I saw a posting of an update of the tool that reads the information from the database. If you don't have NTFS, you could give that one a try.....

So, please give the other tool a try and see if that fixes the issues....

Hi,
It now works.. It was me that did not place it under the myGBPVR directory but in the root of the scripts directory... My bad sorry!

Now I was in the process of setting up the 2XBMC part and there is no PostProcessing.bat file in my GBPVR directory.. Is it something that I need to create myself ?

I also tried to run the 2XBMC file on it's own and did not work. Says invalid stream

I run 2XBMC mpeg.file GBPVR folder that contains the recordings ?

Thanks again!
