Announcing the long awaited update to the MythStatusScreenlet to support Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
After spending quite a lot of time trying to get ElementTree working, I gave up and just rewrote the XML parsing using simple regular expressions. I know it’s a hack, but at least I have something that should work in Hardy.
# RELEASE: 0.0.3
# - No longer uses xpath, so should now work in Hardy
You can download the latest file from gnome-look. As usual, let me know if you it doesn’t work for you.
I’ve released a new MythStatusScreenlet. The release notes are below.
# RELEASE: 0.0.2
# - Now supports MythTV 0.20 and 0.21 xml formats
# - Better handling when backend goes away/comes back
You can download the latest file from gnome-look.
As mentioned on the MythStatus screenlet page, I’ve tidied up some of the code and posted a tar on the Screenlets Website.
The MythStatus Screenlet polls the XML info page of MythTV’s backend (normally port 6544), and parses the XML information to display the status of your backend. It shows the next ten upcoming recordings, highlighting in red, any that are currently recording.
It also shows Last Guide Update status, a disk space graph, Load Average and Temperature as provided by MythTV’s XML status page.
