I'm still working on the Linux port and I hope that it will be compatible with OSX/IOS too. I have no OSX/IOS systems to test it...

@orph:
Do you see anything special in the xbmc.log file after 30 min of watching?
Could it be a EPG update running at the background? (You can disable that in the settings).
Are you running single seat (same machine) or multi-seat (backend on different machine).
If it is a memory leak, you should check the memory usage after 1 min of watching and when the problem occurs again. How big is the difference?
Maybe it is at the time that the TVServer is switching from one timeshift buffer to the next file...
A debug log file for the 30 min problem would be helpful.
Two debug xbmc.log files for the EPG problem would be helpful. One for a clean EPG load (deleted EPG and TV database) to see how XBMC loads your EPG items and a second one after the restart.

I'm using the Argus backend. I've setup a channel group for the channels I'd like to have available in XBMC in a particular order. How do I change the channel group within the EPG views?

Hi togheter,
some general questions. I am using MediaPortal for an long time now. XMBX front end is much better (look an d feel, performance ) so I do some tests in combination with MP TV server and XBMC client
1. How can I handle Standy? I am using MP Power scheduler. If MP client is not active HTPC goes insStandby. If I am using XBMC HTPC goes into standby until XBMC is active (listen to music or watching video)?!
2. How can I handle channel numbers in XBMC?
3. I am using a X10 remote which is pefectly integrated in MP. Is there a possibilty to configure X10 for XBMC too?
4. Is there an add on which supports the FritzBox DSL router?
5. Is there an IMAP eMail cliient addon avaiblable?
6. Which addon do I have to active for enabling artist fanart as backdrop in music section?
7. Is there a possibilty using ffd show as psot processor for upscaling sd video?
Many Thanks!
Regards Juro

Hey margro
Just wanted to say thank you for all the time and effort you put into making the MediaPortal TV Server work with xbmc. I've had my dual tuner card for over a year but have never been able to get it to work properly until trying MediaPortal and your plugin. I do have occasional timeouts but most of the time it works pretty well.
I'm currently using a paid for subscription card and card reader. Is there any way to improve the channel zap times? The quickest channel change is about 2 seconds and the longest is anywhere up to 8 seconds
Thanks again

Hi Margro,
I am using the Windows Version of XBMC with build in PVR Support.
As backend I am using a Media Portal TV Server.
All is working fine and setup was doen pretty fast! You did a real good job with that Script.
Just 2 issues I have which I dont know how to fix
1.) Is there any way to use the EPG as comfortable as on Media Portal?
For example in MP I can add a new Timer to a series with option "allways on this chanel" So it records it automaticaly any time it is broadcasted.
In XMBC I can just set a timer to a certian time like 18:00 - 19:00
2.) Is there a way to flatten/group the recordings?
Like having all episodes from a series in one folder.
Would be great if this 2 things would be possible anyway.
Thanks for that cool script!

Hi, I use For the Record with Mediaportal TV Server. I am not using For the Record Argus server primarily because it doesn't support my Colossus card. I would like to use XBMC as my front end. I have it working with the Mediaportal plugin no problem. Seems great but I can't see any of my recordings that were scheduled using For the Record. So I disable the Mediaportal plugin and enable the For the Record plugin. Pulls the guide and channels no problem and now i can see the recordings but I can't watch live TV. I tried having both enabled but it didnt seem to accomplish anything. Can this scenario be made to work? Any help very much appreciated.
TIA
