Sorry, didn't notice that you mentioned EPG database earlier. With pvr.wmc enabled I have had hangs/lockups when resetting the databases, never had problems if I disable it first. Maybe it's a problem on my end. Of course this is on a PI so maybe the speed/memory situation is the problem.
If I have been of help, please add to my reputation as a way of saying thanks, it's free.

Ah right, yes well when resetting each database it does cause a full backend reload of channels, recordings, timers and EPG entries... on my system that isnt a big deal as Aussie free to air only has less than 20 channels plus its running on comparably more powerful server and client hardware than a Pi... it probably is just a symptom of the Pi working a bit harder with all that data processing

How do you even know what those channels are with names like KYTXDT ?!

I wasnt being entirely sarcastic, I genuinely dont know if that is the name of a broadcaster or just some code. I dont even know what you mean by "CBS on 19". Perhaps it's like Krusty says and you just arent pushing through the service names through to XBMC and are only sending the Call Sign. Personally I would have expected channels to be called like "The History Channel" "Fox News" "CNN Business" etc etc. But as you say, that's just my basic Australian FTA and PayTV experience shining throgh. Although that said I also have travelled in Asia and Europe and found their channels to be generally named well (not confusing codes) even on the cable providers with 100s of channels

Is it possible to pass the thumbnails/movie posters from WMC into the XBMC EPG?

I don't know if this is already possible but does ServerWMC have the ability to allow the PVR client to be able to see recorded tv across multiple hard drives? I have my SSD C: Drive that I don't put any recordings on (just the Win 7 64bit OS). Instead I have two older, larger (non-ssd) SATA drives, each with a recordedtv folder.
Is there a way to create a UNC path in the folders section of ServerWMC that will allow me to see ALL of the recordings with the xbmc pvr client. Right now, it seems as though I can see the correct "number" of recordings for each specific show in the top recorded tv folder on the pvr client. However, on the pvr client when I actually go to the folder containing a particular show the actual recordings are only for one of the two drives (the combined total count for the same show, different episodes, is actually across both drives).
Thanks for your help.

Client Restriction stops working for me. The only change I made was updating my version of xbmc to 13.2 since the older version kept crashing when watching live tv. I am using a fire tv. I did not touch anything in the server side.

Krusty / Scarecrow, is there anyway when using the EPG guide, when you open the guide it goes to the last channel tuned, not just back to the top?
I know this works if you're still watching the channel, once you open the EPG guide you'll get the current channel you're on but if possible I'd like the guide to return to the last channel tuned (Or would this be a XBMC / Kodi developers request)
