Seems like it's being corroborated in Mainline too - now I posted it...

ericminou Wrote:I had the same problem and I think I know the solution (I have a very similar setup). Do you have you channels named 12_1, 12_2, etc... in mythtv backend?
Weatherman Wrote:Mine are listed like "3 GOLF" and "4 MASN" in the channel editor in MythBuntu's backend setup.
I was wondering if it had something to due with the HDHomerun Prime's use of "virtual channels".
None of the PVR build I have tested display Live TV under that menu option on my setup - however, using the myth:// (MythTV Client) option in XBMC, all the channels work and display fine.

ericminou Wrote:All the symptoms seem identical to mines. Just open mythtv-setup on the back end and make sure the channel number is a digit (like 2 or 3, 5, etc...). Name itself doesnt matter. Then try to watch that channel. If that works rename that for all the channels. It did the trick for me.
Weatherman Wrote:Thanks!!! I just edited one of the channels in the MythBackend to just have the channel number listed as "3" instead of "3 GOLF" and it worked!!!
My only question now is what is different about using the myth:// style vs. the Live TV option where one handles that with no problem and the other doesn't.
If I want to fix this, I will have to edit some 800 channels.

tsp42 Wrote:Hi Mark
I intent to fix the code soon so that you don't have to edit all 800 channels. Just give me a week or so.
Weatherman Wrote:Thanks, tsp42! I appreciate it!
I manually edited a group of channels just so I can do more testing.
Should the channel icons be displayed at this point in time? I only ask because I don't see them (very minor cosmetic thing). I have also seen sporadic cases where the "Now" EPG on the guide for certain channels shows nothing. I have yet to track down a pattern, but will post more once I have additional information.
Thanks again! :o

glst0rm Wrote:First off - GREAT work. I've been trying every possible combination of XBMC PVR add-on and backend. This hold so much promise.
Would it be possible to compile and run this for Ubuntu 8.04? I'd like to run the Crystalbuntu build of Hardy Heron. This build is optimized for the Apple TV (first gen) and runs XBMC very nicely. I'm trying to make this all work on an Apple TV (first gen) with CrystalHD card installed.
I'm able to compile, run, and *almost* play live tv with tsp-xbmc on Ubuntu 10.10 on my AppleTV. I'm having sound driver issues which are holding me back.
Thanks for your help!

Weatherman Wrote:I do see the path for the icons using phpmyadmin on the Myth database.
It has them listed like this:
/home/markh/.mythtv/channels/fx_us.jpg
I'm guessing maybe something to do with the relative path when using the PVR plugin. Using MYTH:// doesn't display the channel icons, either. I only see them when using MythTV itself.
Just thought I would note that - and if it is something I need to update on my database, I can do that.

To tsp and everyone helping out - incredibly impressive work guys, it works really well. I don't use mythfrontend anymore just give you an idea how good this addon is
