OS X 12.3 doesn't start cmyth PVR plugin, won't exit cleanly
#1
Although I primarily use XBMC on my Linux HTPC box, I have also got it installed on a box running OS X 10.7.3. Version 12.2 works fine but went I tried to upgrade to the new stable 12.3 (x86_64) version that just came out tonight (using the file xbmc-12.3-x86_64.dmg), I experienced two issues:

1. Could not watch Live TV - it kept saying that the cmyth PVR plugin hadn't finished loading, or something to that effect.

2. When I tried to exit, the program hung and I had to Force Quit it.

When I reverted back to 12.2 from my Time Machine backup it worked normally again - neither of these issues was present.

On my Linux box, 12.3 works fine including the Live TV, and no problems exiting the program on that platform. So these issues are apparently specific to OS X.

Has anyone else noticed either of these issues?

I'm seeing the exact same behaviour.

XBMC 12.3 cmyth on Mac OSX doesn't seem to work. Any attempt to access LiveTV produces a message that no PVR plugin has been loaded. Attempts to exit XBMC lock up XBMC and requires a Force Quit.

In my XBMC logs, i don't see anything beyond:

Yup, same thing here, I posted this in the MythTV sub-forum here yesterday: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=181829

Another user posted this is a new bug introduced in 12.3.

Unfortunately, I'm on Mavericks now and 12.2 doesn't work with that.
