So, I expect that this explains why I can't play the .nuv, or "prettied" .mpg files on my (sorry Cecil, I know this isn't a windows support forum) windoze media player?

You are right, yours was. However the next was starting to stray. Spit2k1 has a great program and he does not need white noise in his feature request.

I don't see how clarifying/documenting the capabilities of the various burn scripts is straying. If any burn scripts can't handle HD, then IMO, that's a good thing to document. And it's also something that the software should notify the user about.
I'd rather get: "sorry, can't do that to HD/ATSC source", instead of letting it grind away for a day, producing nothing useful.

I suppose from this topic point of view, a request is you would like HDTV support!

Can you lot tell me if this works okay with Project-X (Java de-multiplexer)?

I'm in the UK so I dont get HDTV - where can I get a sample recording file from to try out?

This should already be supported, there are no checks on file sizes or video resolutions!

Yes! It doesn't seem to work with Project-X, no.
I can get you recordings. I have ample space for this via FTP/HTTP if you'd like. Or if that'll be too big, I can burn to a DVD and snail mail it to you. Short clips would probably be best?
I've got a PCHD3000 (most popular HD card) and record the "transport stream". I can prepare short recordings (10 min or so) of both 1080i and 720p if you'd like.

I tried it and it didn't work. I opened a thread on this a bit back (http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7077&highlight=marc+aronson). Perhaps you have an idea for how I can get this to work with the current software? Thanks!

Dont want to distract you from your fine work but how did you decide on the basic interface for the program Webburn or Myth type GUI ??

If it allows VIDEO encoding i assume this means we can pick items from the video folder ??

PS I would prefer to be able to turn off submenus not bothered if they were included at all.

I have noticed that some of the descriptions that RADIOtimes xmlgrabber pulls in are a bit verbose it would be nice just to maybe either to be able to edit these before they are added to the DVD or have just the title next to the thumbnail for the film with another button for info which would then take you to a seperate full screen with the description recorded date channel etc ??

Have just looked at the documentaion for python myself looks nice, like the idea that it runs on windose as well which means can do some develpment myself on my laptop as i very rarly get chance to work directly on my myth box.

I've so far got a single python script which will take any recording or video file, de-multiplex it, re-encode it automatically if its not MPEG2 and then build menus based on "themes".

Going forward its easy to create new themes with just titles/descriptions/dates what ever you want really. You can also have up to 10 recordings per DVD menu page or as little as 1

Its still work in progress but Python is so much nicer than bash scripts to work with!!

It should work on Windows as well but thats not really a priority at the moment.

I havent started on the actual MythWeb changes yet. I'm struggling on how to do this as I now need to pick from recordings & videos and the list could be huge.

I might put an icon on the video list & recorded program list next to each item with a "add to list" type feature. A new web page could then show all the selected files and allow you to burn them using the theme you want.

I'm trying to remove as much of the GUI interface as possible so thats its a really simple but powerful application eg.
click the files you want to record, select how you want them to appear on the DVD eg. what theme, click burn and leave it to work!

Sounds excellent, spit2k1.

Would it be possible to add an automatic database function to keep track of all the DVDs that have been burned? It would be handy to have this available through MythWeb as well. I've currently got about 30 that I've burned in just the past two-plus months I've been using MythTV, and it's going to become pretty difficult to keep track of them if I continue at this rate.

This might have to be a future enhancement but as I'm now using python its fairly simple to dump out the recording information to a new database table inside mythconverg.

I suggest to make mythburn installable without mythweb installed, because if i have a frontend only machine and want use mythburn-ui i had to install mythburn too, but i havn't installed mythweb!

And question??? Why isn't mythburn added to official mythtv server ??

No problem with this idea, will make it so!


I havent actually asked them to add it - anyone know what the process is to do this?

If memory serves, the first pre-req is that the plug-in be written in C++. You maybe be able to submit it and have it included in 'contrib'. Please PM me when you have something I can start including in my test ISO.

I've got the mythburn-ui which is written in C++ which then calls the external scripts to do the work.

This is very similar to mythvideo which calls external scripts for IMDB lookups.
