I set the video cache to 1024 from 4096 and the stuttering problem did not improve. I'm using the mythtv:// method.

On my linux desktop with XBMC beta 2 mythtv works fine.
I have tried XBMC Live on my Windows XP machine but for some reason I cant play any recorded or live TV with this, the backend log just says xbmclive exited with no errors.XBMC live plays other videos no problem. As previously posted beta2 for windows plays livetv and recordings but with stuttering repeating sound.
Thanks

I have tried with and without but for the life of me I can only get recorded shows to play on my windows machine. I can't watch live tv or browse the epg. I can get a debug later today but if anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate it. Once you set the host in advancedsettings.xml the line in sources should be myth://mythtv:mythtv@hostname correct? The only thing I can think of is perhaps since I am running an older version of myth there might be incompatibility issues. Anyway, thanks in advance.I'm not using host settings in advancedsettings.xml and everything works fine other than the jerky sound.

Some simple subfolders would work just fine, I think.I was one of the ones wanting this. I've started digging through the libcmyth code, I can work out most of it but I can't for the life of me find any sort of entry point, or where the "Live TV/Recordings/TV Guide" folders are created. If anyone has any pointers, please let me know (anenigma on irc too).
And is there any chance of getting the program subtitle in the listings too? I know XBMC has access to it, as it comes up in the "Info" screen while playing.
