@Dushmaniac - is that "drop support for Lucid with immediate effect" (i.e. assume that any future PPA updates will break your system)?
I wouldn't blame you if you did since you're creating work for yourself otherwise - but if us 10.04 diehards need to change Ubuntu distro, at least I'd like some warning so I can think about how to do it...!
Cheers...

as I said, I'll post details when I worked them out, but I'll leave the previously working build for xbmc-live on lucid around if/when I decide to drop support for that ubuntu version.

Found a problem with PVR? Report it on Trac, under "PVR - core components". Please attach the full debug log.

I don't know if this is the right place to report such bug, but the xbmc-live package in pulse-eight.net PPA for XBMC PVR continues to alter my /etc/uxlaunch/uxlaunch file. I've customized such file in order to launch xbmc process with a different user that the standard xbmc. The postinstall script continues to alter such file:
sed -i '/^user=*/ s/^/#/' /etc/uxlaunch/uxlaunch
sed -i '/^tty=*/ s/^/#/' /etc/uxlaunch/uxlaunch
sed -i '/^session=*/ s/^/#/' /etc/uxlaunch/uxlaunch
echo 'user=xbmc' >> /etc/uxlaunch/uxlaunch
echo 'tty=8' >> /etc/uxlaunch/uxlaunch
echo 'session=/usr/bin/xbmc-standalone' >> /etc/uxlaunch/uxlaunch

what dist are you running? lucid + maverick (build53) are no longer using uxlaunch.

My Lucid/Live system is running uxlaunch - it came down with this week's Pulse-eight update. Works fine once you hack the config file to start xbmc as above.
I must confess that I'm leaning towards a new OS build pretty soon, despite being LTS, Lucid is looking increasingly like a liability...

you could remove uxlaunch again if you like. should be working again too then.

Any Oneiric release on the pulse-eight PPA soon?
I realy miss the PVR version of XBMC.
Love your work with the PVR versions of XBMC dushmaniac!

Just tried the stable53 update on lucid and it didn't work. Not sure if it was just me. Gone back now to stable50 and had to restore my database from a backup.
It looks like it created a new database in MySQL but when I got it running my TVShows and Movies had all disappeared. I mean then menu's were all blank
