I have, however, found that switching channels (without pressing stop in between) now seems to sometimes freeze XBMC for a couple of minutes, and then return to a non-playing state. I tried this both using "Up"/"Down" arrows within full screen, and selecting a channel directly in the TV channel view. This is on the same mythbackend system that didn't have such issues last week. Is anybody else seeing this?

Live tv working for me too thanks! but I have the same problem with changing channel as above, xbmc crashes. Pressing stop and changing from epg is okay. I also see the same behaviour with the time shift buttons reported earlier , ie being in the wrong order when being selected.

Could you and fiveisalive pastebin a debug log from when it happends. The addtion of the forward/reverse buttons tothe skin was a bit rushed. That's why the order is wrong. Will have to fix it.

I can also confirm that this error is happening to me too. Do you have enough to work with the existing debug logs or would you like more?

I just upgraded to 0.25, so I'm now waiting for support for that..

It's enough with bilbonvidia's log thanks. Just need time to find the error now.

testing the pvr build on my laptop and noticed that the show title's are getting cropped at one character. my mythfrontend shows them fine, mythbox addon does too. my myth server is running .24+fixes. i'm a longtime mythtv user and just recently decided to move to XBMC for my frontend. from what i've seen so far, the pvr function is looking great. certainly prettier than mythbox; keep up the good work

Was just wondering if it is possible to just compile the cmyth addon and add it to my current PVR install? I have the compiled version of XBMC from pulse-eight. Any pointers appreciated if it is at all possible....

Cheers
Bruce

I had noticed the same thing and it was due to the regular expression used to split folder and title for series (PVR addon configuration).
For me, the regular expression was set to but it should be After changing and saving, you should restart XBMC.

that worked! thanks. i figured it was that regex and someone had seen this before

Hi all,
Got a self-compile setup running nicely on my XBMC system here, pulled the src from git, compiled with:

"./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-vdpau --enable-static --disable-shared --enable-sdl --enable-rtmp"

And looking pretty good, channels look fine, except for one problem, in the EPG TIMELINE view (the normal view we use at home) any channel that doesn't have an EPG listing (for example the majority of music channels in the UK don't have EPG entries), then this isn't displayed.

Is there a way to force this? I tried this some time ago with TVHeadend and never found a solution. Anyone can sort this for me or let me know the patch/code to modify?

The channel switching should work now. It is a little slower than before(8 sec vs. 7 sec. on my setup) but at least it doesn't lockup.

Not really. I've modified the xbmc PVR code several places so you will have to merge the changes into the XBMC pulse-eight code.

The default value should be fixed now.

Not what I'm aware of. I thought you found the place in the code to fix it?

Ah, great. I will build a new version to test channel switching.

Do you happen to know if a myth:// source honours the video file list setting concerning automatic thumbnail creation from metadata? I see some reports that the strange crashes are related to automatic thumbnail generation, but when I disable that for video files, the crash doesn't disappear.
