Their is another method to watch MythTV on xbmc via DLNA as MythTV has a built in DLNA server.

I am using mythtv 0.23 backend and mythbox front end on xbmc latest stable build in windows 7 and have no issues.

However, I am looking forward to use the latest pvr addon which includes mythtv.

I tried mythbox on ATV2 but have no luck in defining the smb shares pointing to the recorded folder.

Not to try and rush you, but any idea what your time table is for the updated plugin? I updated to ubuntu 11.04 last night, and was going to set up mythtv, but then I saw this and figured I might wait as the only package available is .24.

Anyway, not trying to add pressure, just wondering.

Thanks for taking the time to make it! I can't believe people still use mythtv's old and outdated interface!

Hi,

I have Natty and tried to install XBMC-PVR, unfortunately all add-ons related to pvr are broken. What can I do ? I'm using mythtv but it's archaic. Is there any way to make it usable ?

What do you mean when you say you installed "XBMC-PVR"? Are you compiling dushmaniacs PVR repository?

The only place that the MythTV Addon is in a semi-working state is https://github.com/dteirney/xbmc/tree/pvr

If you want a stable version of XBMC that works with MythTV perhaps look at the options listed at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=MythTV

the other pvr add-ons aren't broken in my repo, so I suspect another source

Ok, eventually I managed to make it work! I went through the steps I found today in the other post. So I needed to get rid of all db files in ~/.xbmc/userdata/Database. Then I created user in tvheadend (I decided to give it a chance, anything might be better then mythtv). And after enabled pvr add-on and main live tv features. Booom Smile

works!

And in fact tvheadend has a pretty good time of zapping.

Thank you guys! Great piece of software!

I have entered the world of mythtv and now got a working setup! What is the current state of the mythtv xbmc pvr addon? Is there anything useful I can look at getting working/bug fixes? My c++ can do with some practise!

Is https://github.com/dteirney/xbmc/tree/pvr the latest branch?

Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Use MythTV for recording TV? Try the integrated MythTV support in XBMC Media Center. Now with commercial skip support built-in and integration with the Movie database!

The normal XBMC log IS NOT a debug log, to enable debug logging you must toggle it on under XBMC Settings - System or in advancedsettings.xml. Use XBMC Debug Log Addon to retrieve it.
