Hi list!
I have been trying the openmhp plugin a little today, but it doesn't work to well for me ;-)
I have installed everything like explained in the INSTALL (Java 1.5 though) and I'm running it on VDR 1.3.36 with xine as output device.
But when I'm trying the examples everything I get is the "Loading ..." text on the OSD and nothing more - the logfile /tmp/openmhp-log/<blah>.log is just empty.
Is there anyone that have a hint about what I might have done wrong?
One more question also. I'm having all my DVB-cards in one VDR-box and then I have another one that I'm using to watch TV. Can I have the mhp-0.3-plugin on the box with the cards and openmhp on the box that I'm using to watch TV on. And the just a NFS-mounted directory to share the xlet's between them? Do I need to patch mhp-plugin in any special way in such setup?
Best regards, Lars Fredriksson

I think I tested the plugin once with java 1.5 also, and it didn't work. At that time, I didn't have time to go into debugging what went wrong, and I haven't gone back to it to find out, either. If it's not too much trouble, you could try java 1.4 instead, and maybe report back your findings.

I can't see any problems with this. In both plugins (openmhp and mhp), you can set the location of the mhp-cache directory. I think that should be all you need, there's no communication between the plugins other than the files the mhp plugin writes. There probably should be some way of signalling the state of the mhp plugin (downloading/done) to the opemhp plugin, though, but for now there isn't.

hi,
any news on development of openmhp plugin?
Currently the YLE "digitekstiTV" just says some service is not available, and the "ohjelmaopas" part starts loading but just stops at 30%. I have the 0.0.1b and the patch from october, 104 openmhp, 2_7_0 xerces, JMF-2.1.1e, java 1.4.2_08.
yours, Jouni

Sorry to say, but not really. The stuff on my web page is pretty much all there is. I don't use it myself privately, and it does what's been needed of it, so I wouldn't expect too much. A very very minor update is probably due at some point, but beyond that I can't say. If anybody wants to contribute, though, I'd be glad to help.

I think this problem is caused by openmhp itself. You can verify it by trying to run the xlet directly with openmhp. If this is the case, then the openmhp folks might be able to help, but as the vdr plugin has required the modification of original openmhp code, you might not be able to just plug in a new version of openmhp. Of course, if a fix were to be found, the required modifications on the plugin would in all probablity be minor, and I'd be happy to make them.

I believe the EPG xlet needs data (service information) from the dvb transmission. Making it work would require work on both the plugin and openmhp; getting the data from vdr and feeding it to openmhp. It might not be too much work, but I haven't really looked into it.

Hi!
Thanks for the answers!
I think I tested the plugin once with java 1.5 also, and it didn't work. At that time, I didn't have time to go into debugging what went wrong, and I haven't gone back to it to find out, either. If it's not too much trouble, you could try java 1.4 instead, and maybe report back your findings.
I have tried it with blackdown-1.4.2-02 but with the same result as 1.5 - maybe I should try with Sun's 1.4, but gentoo wont let me emerge it ;-) I will try a little more tonight!
