If you get an error message about "dependencies" when installing tvtumbler under XBMC, then do this:
1. Unzip the zip file.
2. Go into the service.tvtumbler directory and edit the file addon.xml
3. Change the sixth (6) line to say version="5.0.0" instead of version="4.0.0"
4. Zip the directory.
5. Install from the updated zip file.
So, it's just a matter of 1 character.
It works for me. Calendar is blank [Edit: correction, the calendar now works], and Status is unselectable, but it downloads the shows, renames them, and puts them in the appropriate place. Remember, this is pre-alpha, and hasn't been changed in a year. The second streamer is down. Libtorrent does not work for tvtumbler, according to documentation. It's difficult to get to the Transmission tab in configuration. (Use the keyboard left arrow from the General tab.) Set the Transmission download directory to your XMBC TV Shows directory. The new shows directory on the general tab is not used, according to documentation.
After you get that working, you might wish to customize the show qualities. The TV show qualities are "SD", "HD", or "Any". HD is 720p or 1080p (not just any file claiming to be "HDTV".) I added a 1080p option for myself. In shows.py (in the tvtumbler directory), just add 'HD1080p' to the qualities_available line, and add HD1080P_COMP to the real_quality_values definition. Then you'll have no icon for 1080p unless you edit script-tvtumbler-shows.xml (in the resources/skins/Default/720p/ directory) and follow the example for 50px-1080.png and HD; copy and paste that control section (<control...>...</control>), then change it to say 50px-1080_n.png and HD1080p. Repeat for the second almost identical control section, or else highlighting a show will make "1080" disappear.
Edit: Hmm, actually it took more for me to get 1080p quality working. It's also necessary to modify files in the feeders directory under tvtumbler.

I have the same issue. Not sure of a solution though.

I think now the gui version is up to 5.0.1 for Gotham and 5.5.0 for Kodi. You can go into your personal addons directory (~/.xbmc/addons for Linux) and then go into a subdirectory for a plugin you are sure works, and then see what it uses for xbmc.gui version in its addon.xml file. After patching to the add.xml file to use 5.0.1 or whatever, it probably still will give you an error about not having the "correct structure" when you try to install. I don't know how to fix that (sometimes it's the Python version that needs changing), but I was able to do a brute force install. To do that, unzip the files in your addons directory directly.
tvtumbler uses several feeds, but some feeds it uses went offline a month ago. So, it might not work, even if it's working perfectly. :/ However, it should not be difficult to add a feed.
Edit: I can confirm that my version works under XBMC Gotham. I use the git-master (0.1.0), which I have modified to enable a feed that was disabled (because it was redundant, but now might be the only working feed). Additionally, my version has the option of specifying 1080p. Send me a PM with your email address if you want the code.
Edit2: I can confirm it also works under Kodi.

I found something more interesting as SickRage. Its SickBeard modification and i like it very much. Search for it in github. I prefer it instead of old not mainteined addon.
