ABOUT MythTV Go

Play recordings from your MythTV PVR on your Android device.

Important: MythTV 0.25 is required, as it uses the new Services API.

Features:* Easy to configure, can auto discover mythtv backend.* Can configure multiple backends (e.g. to access via ssh tunnel).* Recordings are shown in a list, grouped by name and recording group.* Recording details and preview are shown when a recording is selected.* Multiple transcoding profiles (Low, Medium & High quality).

Notes:

1) An external video player is currently required to play the transcoded video streams. I currently recommend vplayer or diceplayer from the Play store. The player that I used to recommend (bsplayer) no longer works.

See my blog for some in-depth testing on video players:

Big thanks to those who've contacted me and helped out with testing and debugging! I'd appreciate it if anyone who has problems contacts me, before giving the app a 1 star rating. It's impossible for me to test every combination of phone/Android version/MythTV setup.

Version History:1.0.6* Fixed crash due to running out of memory with large lists of recordings* Improved support for IPv6* Improved error messages to give more details on why backend connections have failed

1.0.5* Fixed a crash when backend doesn't respond as expected* Added more details in error messages (backend name, ip and port)* Tidied up backend preferences screen, so you can't enter multi-line name/ip addresses any more

Note: Most of the errors I see reported now are errors connecting to the backend. Hopefully the changes above will help people to diagnose what's wrong.

1.0.4* A few bug fixes for Android 2.2 and 4* Backend discovery should now be more reliable* Added extra wifi permission for backend discovery on Android 4* No longer compatible with Android 1.5 for a number of reasons

1.0.3* Added option to keep or delete transcoded stream after viewing (it can be useful to keep the stream if you're going to continue watching the recording later).* Added automatic backend discovery. Just use the "Find" button in the Backend Preferences screen* Added input checking to backend preferences. Some people had added spaces etc. to the IP address which stopped it connecting to the backend.* Other minor bug fixes.
