Hi all, first my compliments for all posting here to help each other! Yesterday I installed fortherecord on my WHS 2011 box and XBMC and the client on my win7 machine. I got it al working..... but.... the video and audio is very instable, xbmc keeps buffering every 5 seconds. What are the minimum specs to run fortherecord? Is there something i can do (except from upgrading my WHS 2011 box)?

Hey folks,
I think there's a bug with the timer notifications - I at least get weird notifications once a recording begins or ends. It doesn't only say "recording xxx started/ended" but also shows me some already outdated notifications (like "timer xxx deleted" although that timer was from a day ago and is not related to the latest recording). Looks like all notifications since last notification are displayed, but that doesn't make sense - because PVR-backends might also do stuff while XBMC is not running. So just display the recent notifications (reset the "last viewed notification" timestamp - if there is something like that - on XBMC startup to the current time).

I have been using the margro windows builds with fortherecord argus for many months now and it works great, however is there a plugin for linux as I am considering moving my clients from windows to the new XBMCuntu.
Fortherecord is on a dedicated windows box and will remain so, it's the clients I want to change from windows to linux.

Red_F thanks for info. I had problem adding timers from within xbmc but I will test some more on my side.
Hopefully we will see improved xbmc support for 4tr plugin soon.

Hello All,
I am watching TV for a week now using Margo's latest XBMC Eden PVR build and Argus TV server. It works great but I have one problem. When I first start up XBMC and want to start Live TV, XBMC says the is no PVR client. I then have to go to settings, disable Live TV, enable it again and then I can start Live TV. Did anyone face the same problem? I would very much appreciate any help on that!

In my case it is sufficient to wait for a few sec for XBMC to make a connection, EPG updates, and all is well.

Thanks for your fast answer. I also thought first that I need to wait a bit longer... but it doesn't work. Even when I have XBMC running half a dax, when I first time start Live TV, I have to go through the procedure described in my above post.

Thx Red_F for this excellent addon.
Anyway got problem with latest windows version (0.0.135). I can't play any recording containing my national (polish) characters in its title. Version 0.0.132 worked fine. I'm using 4tr 1.6.1.0 beta 7.
