I can confirm it compiles.

I did not know that I needed to restart XBMC. Here is a new log that contains the debug information. I first watch the recording for a couple of seconds and then try seeking forward.

Yep - it just clears the database on XBMC and reloads it from your backend.

I'm pretty sure the only way, is through the way you've implemented.

The only other possible way, I think (not being a Mythtv expert) is to use the Myth Groups - but that doesn't specifically specify Radio/TV - it just groups channels as you define (Entertainment/News/Kids) - I've never bothered to use it, but that 'could' also be an option in the Wish List, to group Live channels as per their groups in the EPG & Channel List.
(ie. just have a True/False flag to show Channels by group)

I wouldn't use it though ha ha ha.

BTW - Just want to make it very clear how much I appreciate your work and really like the way this is implemented. I'd been struggling with MythBox for some time and given up as it's completely unstable against pre-eden and 0.24 MythTV. I'd switched to dtierney's myth:// video source in the xbmc master.

Now however, your pvr branch is where I'd really like to be: - for me though, it 'seems' as though some of the core XBMC isn't up to date from the xbmc/xbmc/master - with some niggly issues.

This might be a daft question...

How different is opdenkamp/xbmc/master to xbmc/xbmc/master

Is there any way the PVR stuff is going to go into Eden, or is that definitely decided to keep as a seperate branch for now?

I am also looking forward to the episode view

Keep up the fantastic work!

Given that Eden is now feature-frozen, and that PVR is now listed as a Milestone for 12 (and not for 11):

http://trac.xbmc.org/milestone/12.0

I suspect that it's been punted on for Eden (again). This is unfortunate as I noted here:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=83556&page=3

as I suspect there would be more focus on the feature once it's in mainline code. Surprising given that it's the number #1 most requested feature for XBMC.

Thanks all compiles for me too. (Haven't yet tested the build yet).

tsp42,

I have noticed a few issues with the addon recently, I hope to issue bug reports and what not during the weekend, before that:

Your really putting a lot of time and effort in to building the plugin and for that we thank you. There are quite a few people interested in this plugin now and i was wondering if there is anything we can do more to help you?

how best can we support the development of the plugin?

Thanks,
