MediaPortal or ForTheRecord backend
#1
I'm trying to decide which backend TV server to use with XBMC PVR. Which one has better support?

The MediaPortal addon is more mature and supports most of the PVR features. The ForTheRecord addon is still under development and Windows only at the moment. Live TV/Radio and basic EPG are working. Don't know the current state of Timer and recording support.

I've created the initial ForTheRecord addon and currently Red-F is continuing the development of the addon. My focus is more on improving the MediaPortal addon and the shared parts between these two addons (timeshift buffer reader). Personally, I'm not using ForTheRecord on my HTPC because the MediaPortal TVServer is running fine there...

Alright thanks, Have seen that page before Smile

Are those PVR builds also compatible with the newest tv-server of Mediaportal? That is included with the latest Mediaportal 1.2.0beta? And even with the latest fortherecord? (1.5.0.3)

The XBMC Dharma (PVR Patched) from 10-03-2011 works very well with MediaPortal 1.2.0 if you get the updated plugin.
