I am at a workplace so don't want to download anything until I know my computer can handle it and it does what is required.
It is essential that I record tv shows with captions (I am not allowed to show them without). Does this programme do that and is it easy? I've had many pieces of equipment say that they do but then I can't playback and it's becoming very confusing.
Also, I would like to be able to set advance programming - this doesn't do that yet is that correct?
Also, what hd capacity would I need and tv card for this to work consistently every day?
Thanks for your help, this looks like a great product...

Additionally, still frame advance also in either direction.

while on the subject, can a video time clock be added to display video time down to tenths of a second  ie hh:mm:ss.tt?

I would like to propose the idea that the player can optionally copy or move recordings to your local harddisk, allowing them to be taken with you. It would also copy meta-info from the mythtv Db, so that cutlists and comemrcial skipping still works. How does that sound for you?

It could also lower the expiry for such transferred recordings on the original backend, following the idea that recordings made portable are more probable being seen soon and can be deleted earlier etc etc...

I think this would really boost or player a bit, since no other player has AFAIK such a feature.

comments welcome!

My husband runs Myth as the backend on our server (huge linux guy), but because of some of the programs I must use for work, I have to run windows.  I use Myth TV Player... which to date is fairly flawless on skipping commercials (in my opinion even better than when we use the backend to watch on TV). 

What I'm asking is, is there any way to backup / burn with the commercials taken out, to save space on server, etc.?

Thanks for your time and consideration, please keep it up!!!  You're doing a great job.

Having said that...

How about pulling out ahead of MythTV and allowing users to rename recordings?

To me, at least, this would be some useful functionality for shows like "NOVA" - where, over time, one winds up with multiple "NOVA" recordings - each on a different subject.

e.g. I could rename the 11/27 NOVA to "Marine Rescue (NOVA)".

or I could rename the 12/7 NOVA to "Mt McKinley (NOVA)". ]]> no_email@example.com (PeteCresswell) Sun, 07 Dec 2008 22:14:25 GMT http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/157 http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/thread/155 no_email@example.com (domtardif) Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:11:39 GMT http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/155 http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/thread/154

(That way, you could click off commercial skipping, back up, and watch the feed as it came in, then turn it back on later.) ]]> no_email@example.com (gvd) Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:04:09 GMT http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/148 http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/thread/147 *disable* always on top.  It doesn't make sense for a maximized window to be always on top, as you can't get the control window (to pause/unpause video) to show!

Request 2:  If the video window is the UNmaximized, and "always on top" was previously selected (and overridden by maximizing the window), re-activate always on top.

I was wondering if there is any plan to implement opengl vsync?  When I fullscreen the video (mostly HD content) I can really see a lot of tearing with moving images.  Pretty sure this is a vsync issue, as opposed to interlacing tearing.

I'm currently running 0.5.1 pre 10 with deinterlacing turned on.

Could you leverage off the classic player as it seems pretty good at ffw/rew etc...
Not sure if you can stream directly to s/w or just pass it a "samba share" or file location.

LiveTV works pretty well, sometimes it starts "rebuffering", never reaching more than 2% and hanging the video window. I think it's owed to a video problem, because the player seems to be pretty video resource-hungry (it's used to hang whenever I scroll down text in some other application).
Some other times it rebuffers (rarely), but it recovers the connection immediately. On these occasions, there's no other interference from my side (I mean, I'm not doing anything but watching Mythtv Player).

I would appreciate to see some improvement in video rendering.

Also, it'd be great to have a pop-up bar when in fullscreen in order to change channels and shift the volume.

I wish I knew some programming in order to be able to give you a hand!! ]]> no_email@example.com (joule) Wed, 18 Jun 2008 04:36:18 GMT http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/141 http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/thread/139 no_email@example.com (k7_madman) Wed, 11 Jun 2008 05:08:08 GMT http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/139 http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/thread/136 no_email@example.com (k7_madman) Sat, 19 Apr 2008 00:52:19 GMT http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/136 http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/thread/134
Also, would be nice if I could just specify a local directory.

I have some recording that I know will likely only be played on a specific computer.  My idea was to create a folder on that computer and share it, then mount it on the backend and set it up as a storage group.  Then when I have something I know will only be viewed on that computer I can copy it over so that when it is viewed it doesn't need to be streamed over the network.

This almost works.  I setup a folder called "store", mounted it on the backend and created a storage group.

I then moved a recording to it.  I was still able to view it on all frontends/mythtvplayer.
Next, I set "open recordings from windows share" and set the share as //127.0.0.1/store.
I went to play the recording and it worked great with no network activity.
However, when I went to play something else it just said file not found .

So yeah, it almost worked ... just falling back to streaming from the backend if it doesn't find the file would fix it. ]]> no_email@example.com (jamesorr) Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:03:48 GMT http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/134 http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/thread/133
I would like to suggest a feature. I have a usb remote control and it generates different keystrokes than used by default. If I was able to customize the keyboard shortcuts I would be able change it so that it would work with my remote.

However, LiveTV proves essentially useless when watching HD streams since the bitrate exceeds the ability of my network to transmit it and/or my laptop to play and decode it without continual pauses and hiccoughs.
And this is playing over a LAN. Playing Live HD over a WAN is a non-starter (at least for me)

Given that HD is becoming more prevalent, it seems like this will be an increasing problem.

So, is there any way to adjust the bitrate say by doing some type of on-the-fly transcoding or is this outside of the existing capabilities of mythtv itself and would it be better to use some other streaming solution such as mythstreamtv/vlc?

It would be really cool though to have a native mythtv stream stepped down to a low bitrate so that I could watch a small live tv screen on my Windoze laptop from anywhere in my house without taxing my network or laptop.

so I thought it might be time to start requesting features .

First: Multiple audio streams. As some channels send multiple streams
(e.g. mp2/ac3 or dual language) switching would be nice.
Second: Automatic aspect ratio detection.

Both are features supported by the frontend.

I am going to be setting this up on some touch screens that will also be used for home automation. It would be great if the controls were just a little larger so they would be easier to manipulate with fingers instead of a mouse pointer. The other option is to allow remote control interface as has been mentioned before ]]> no_email@example.com (robolo) Mon, 05 Nov 2007 03:49:10 GMT http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/103 http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/thread/73
I may be missing it, but is there no key-mapped volume control? This would be a very useful feature when watching in full-screen mode. For compatibility with Media Player Classic (my favorite non-mythtv player), I'd vote up-arrow and down-arrow for volume up and down, respectively, and Ctl+M for mute - or allow the user to configure the entire key map (I'd be willing to hand-edit the config.xml file to achieve the latter in the short term.)

I would like to be able to edit the recordings from withing mythtvplayer.

Manual commercial cutting through the mythfrontend interface is kind of clumsy.

First, let me add my thanks to everyone else's.  Your player is very helpful to me.

I would like to be able to play my recordings at multiples of their recorded speed.  The human ear can work a lot faster than the human mouth!  I often watch videos at 1.5 to 2 times their recorded speed.  I find no loss in comprehension.  In fact, I took many college courses online and sped nearly all of them.

I know this isn't a high priority, but if it's not to hard to implement and doesn't take you off your schedule, I'd appreciate if you would consider it.

All the best,

First problem is that viewing recordings seems like it is in slow motion a bit and the sound is horrible.  I think this machine just isn't powerful enough or it is that hardware bug (VIA IDE controller) that just makes it suck as a linux box.  I added RAM, went from 256MB to 640MB and it made little if any difference.  This is a W2k machine with AMD 800 or 900 Mhz using wireless G. It has an old Nvidia card, a TNT model I think.  However recordings play just fine with mplayer, can you make it so mplayer is used to view recordings?

Our mythtv setup includes 3 backends, 2 with tuners and those 2 are on all the time.  The third backend is my brothers dual boot machine and it isn't running linux all the time.  We also have recordings stored on other drives/NFS mounts that we archived with mytharchive.pl.  I could add various samba shares, but I don't think mythtvplayer config.xml would allow multiple samba shares or if it would find the recordings that way.  Viewing from the samba share made no difference in the slow motion viewing problem.  Can you make mythtvplayer work in this situation?

I just tried to subscribe to the announcement mailing list at sourceforge, but I am getting "Bug in Mailman version 2.1.8."  Would you please move the lists elsewhere?  Or better yet make this part of the official mythtv project.

I noticed both the GPL and lgpl licenses included in the binary package, would you please document what code (or dll) is under whichever license?
