The other one was created because windows is case-insensive while github is not. So I was able to git checkout Eden-Pvr locally even if the branch didn't exist and when I pushed it upstreams github decided to create a new branch. The tricky part is to delete the extra github branch without deleting my local Eden-pvr branch.
'git push origin :Eden-Pvr' should remove the remote branch without touching your local copy (http://gitready.com/beginner/2009/02/02/push-and-delete-branches.html).

I've made some progress in reconnecting control and mysql connections after they have been disconnected. I will push my changes to my fork after some more testing.
In the meantime I've re-installed my server running MythTV backend meaning I'm now also running 0.25... well in fact, 0.25 has some serious IPTV bugs, so I'm running a 'special' fixes/0.25+rtp version, which is basically 0.25 with fixes RTP/UDP IPTV recording.
I notice that during start-up libcmyth receives RECORDING_LIST_CHANGE UPDATE more than 350 times resulting in equal number of updates to the complete recording list. As I have over 300 recordings (less than 350 though) it gives a pretty high load during startup and makes the log file grow very very fast... I rely on the log for debugging, so disabling it is not always an option. I've not observed this behavior on 0.23+fixes. Sounds familiar to anyone?
I see that libcmyth already receives a proginfo structure, but not using it yet. Are there plans to use the structure instead of updating the complete list when this message is received?

TortoiseGit still picks Eden-Pvr over Eden-pvr though... not sure how to tell TortoiseGit to forget about the former.

tsp42: Thanks for deleting the Eden-Pvr branch. I notice that dushmaniac has updated his branch upstream. Are you planning to sync those changes with your master branch soon? (those changes should include the myth 0.25 support since it has been pushed to upstream xbmc).
And is your plan for https://github.com/tsp/xbmc/tree/Eden-pvr to track dushmaniac's https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc/tree/Eden-pvr , or will you cherry pick all the pvr-related changes from dushmaniac's master to go into Eden-pvr as well?
Thanks again for your hard work on this!

git clone https://github.com/tsp/xbmc.git
cd xbmc
git checkout Eden-pvr
and then ./bootstrap etc
That worked for me. I hope this helps.
I just did this, compiled it up, and tested it against my 0.25 mythtv setup.
It works great, but it's slow in starting up recordings, seems to hang getting the initial EPG (too much debugging on large installations?), and slow to change channels.

fiveisalive: My local repo is merged with the latest upstream master but it will first be pushed when I fix the deadlock bug with channel changing. Eden-pvr is tracking opdenkamp/Eden-pvr so it should be up to date with that branch. I'm not sure why the ffmpeg version in the Eden-pvr branch differs from the mainline Eden branch.
cfetzer: Thanks that fixed it without removing Eden-pvr. Looks like your PR is close to be accepted now in xbmc PVR.
InoD: Could be done yes. I'm still using 0.24 so haven't noticed the log spam. Another option would be to only update the recording list when xbmc asks for it. This would mean users would have to click on recordings to update the list.
bilbonvidia: The windows version will soon be updated. I hope I can find the channel lockup bug. At least I can reproduce it now. I will still consider adding the Timeshift option though.
KeithLM: Have you tried installing libboost-regex-dev and libboost-filesystem-dev?
Paradox: It is not possible to disable Timeshifting currently (at least not without disabling it in the code) but I will add the option. I primarily uses Visual Studio 2010 express and Kdevelop for Linux testing.

tsp42, I've done a complete build and installation of boost 1.49. I have libs for filesystem and regex now. I can build xbmc just fine now that I have those. However the add-on just doesn't run.
One thing I'm confused about is why with this build there are two myth add-ons. Are they both needed? Do they conflict with one another or are they complementary? Granted it doesn't seem to matter which I use, it still doesn't work.
And I've tried a myth frontend on my windows box and can connect to myth on my server. It's just this other ubuntu install, which is based off one of xbmcfreak's distros, that won't work. I'm following those instructions that poly_boi provided, I've done a complete, in a whole new directory, rebuild of xbmc, and still I have the exact same lack of anything happening. Just an unknown error.

Hi guys,
there are so many pages here right now...
It would be cool if you could post a tutorial about how to upgrade your current XBMC installation to talk to MythTV0.25. I kind of lost track.
I currently have XBMC Eden with VDR up and running and would like to give mythtv 0.25 a try. So the question would be: How can I upgrade my current XBMC installation so that I keep all my settings but move from VDR to MythTV?
Greetz,
mastix

Keith,
Even though all the PVR addons say they are enabled, you must configure it before it is truly enabled. Once I configured the libcmyth add on, all the others showed up as disabled.
