XBMC PVR Client & For The Record: Argus TV-Server

Does anyone have a remedy for the strange remote keymapping? I was using OpenElec before I gave this a shot and the "Ok" key on my remote was mapped to "Enter". I've copied my Lircmap.xml, my remote.xml and my keyboard.xml back into my ~/.xbmc/userdata but it doesn't look like they're having any effect.

Also, I know I started to answer this before, but has anyone successfully gotten their 'Pause' buttong to work on their remote?

think this thread will only run on. We need a sticky message displays a list of current back ends and their status. That's all.

No, I sincerly disagree. If you were being forced to read this message, then that might make sense. I believe there IS a thread that documents which backends are working perfectly, and which are not.

As a software developer, I would much rather hear feedback like "channel changing does not work" or "xbmc crashes when I import the EPG, and here is a pastebin of my xbmc.log". In your case, you'd much rather have "it doesn't work."?

So for you, you'd hit this page, see there's too much discussion, and close the page. That's all.

Hate to ask but does anyone know of a different URL to get Margo's Eden build or the FTR Windows scripts? It seems Margo's Dropbox links provided have been overrun for the last few days and have been cutoff.

I've uploaded the latest Windows Eden PVR build to a mirror: xbmc-11.0-pvr-margro_v4.rar.
The dropbox link should become available again in 3 days.

With respect to the ForTheRecord addon for Frodo: Red-f is working on a solution but this requires some changes in XBMC itself.
I will see if I can build an intermediate version for Windows users in the coming weekend to bridge the gap between now and the official fix.

Background: The problem is that the FTR addon is using curl to communicate with Argus and that was conflicting with the curl usage in XBMC itself.
A workaround for now is statically linking the addon against curl.

Sorry for the late response... Thank you for all of your efforts and posting the build. Everything is working great.

Just a quick question before I start downloading and ruining my running Eden install.. Is 4tr supported by the newest Frodo Alpha build that had been out since a few days?

@bberger: yes, the 4therecord addon is working again for Frodo.
Note that the pvr addons are not included in the Frodo alpha builds. You can use the prebuild versions of wileecoyote or build it yourself.
Note 2: make sure that you install Frodo in a different folder (or uninstall it) to prevent problems with PVR addons from Eden-pvr as these are not compatible.

Using the latest frodo alpha and the latest 4tr plugin, everything is working great - only one slight oddity, in progress recordings do not appear in recordings - they take some time after the recording finishes to appear. The strange part is that if I close and reopen xbmc whilst the program is still recording, the in progress file appears in recordings and I can watch immediately...

Any ideas?

If you select recordings from the menu that slides in from the left hand side (I use Aeon Nox latest) then the recordings list updates.
I have this same problem, but I'm not sure everyone sees it, I think it's a symptom of how you access the recordings list.
If you access it by explicitly selecting "recordings" then you don't see the problem, if you have a key on your remote that is mapped to
directly take you to the recordings list, then you do see the problem.

I've had a rummage through the code and have confirmed (as far as I can see) that this behaviour is as intended, the recordings list is updated when you select that menu item,
and when you delete a recording. the recordings list is not updated when you view the list without explicitly selecting the recordings menu item.
