Mythtv uses a recording priority from -100 to +100. Rather then "Vista" the user with every recording change, the backend schedules based upon a recording priority number. It sounds like the two systems are incompatible. Rather then just overriding a single show, it sets a value. After 100 overrides, mythtv would be out of numbers.
There is a way to specify record this showing though.

I am starting a rewrite of the timer interface, I will make it more metadata driven so that a pvr client can specify the fields to render on the screen and set the data accordingly.
Also anybody understand the MenuHook method usage? I have been a little lazy and didn't look at it yet...

If the API needs to be tweaked I'd vote for a change of name as well. I didn't get what a "Timer" was when I looked at the API.
What are these "things" called in the other native PVR backends? "RecordingSchedule", "Schedule", something else?

never mind... invalid test. the binaries were not replaced in the svn update, they were sent to usr/local/bin and xbmc was loading from usr/bin... wrong version.

Overrides are performed by creating a new recording rule in the 'record' table with the 'parentid' field populated. The type is then either kOverrideRecord (to force a recording) or kDontRecord (to block one). Priority does not factor in anywhere.
- outleradam - 2010-10-24 06:01
^^ The only types I've ever seen are 1,3, or 4. The parentid is always 0 on my system.
How would you activate that through normal means and what would you populate the parentid with?

everything works except video transfer. I cannot get a video to pop up on-screen. These files exist but are symlinked.
Livetv does not work either.

'parentid' would be be the recordid of the rule the show originally matched against, and you want to override.

Can you start XBMC from the command line and post the output from the console. Or redirect stdout to a file, e.g. ./xbmc.bin > stdout.txt

I assume that playback is all working fine through mythfrontend? The number of:
"waitpid() failed because No child processes" in mythbackend.log seems strange.
