Seeking within LiveTV has never been supported by the myth:// protocol (pausing playback is all that is possible). I believe that tsp42's implementation of the PVR Addon may have introduced time shifting (aka seeking in a live stream).
I'll be installing tsp42's addon at the weekend onto our HTPC and will continue to migrate all of XBMC's changes to libcmyth to the upstream location and work with tsp to also get any changes he had made put into the upstream repository for libcmyth.
From the testing done thus far:
- 1 person has a problem with playback of recordings. It's not clear why that is the case. A number of other people have not experienced problems.
- 1 person has had problems with some channels not appearing. I'll look into this at the weekend, but I suspect it's because either libcmyth or the myth:// implementation in XBMC assumes that channel numbers are integers and not decimals.
- There were a number of other issues that ended up being related to configuration in some way.
I have one change to make now that the code has been reviewed by another XBMC team member. Once I've made that change it will become a merge request for XBMC master and should go in early May.

I've made the code changes that were requested by one of the other XBMC developers. So there has been a change to the commit history for my myth-0.25 branch. There shouldn't be any functional changes but if anyone wants to update and quickly check that would be great.
I'm starting to look at the problem with channels not showing up.

For anyone trying to update their branch you'll probably need to do a hard reset using git since the update was forced and there are probably conflicts with files already on the local system. Or just delete the local files in the libcmyth directory and then do a git pull.

For those people not seeing channels show up. Are they channels from the Live TV listing or the Guide.
If it's from the Live TV listing do you have any Tuner numbers > 16 in mythbackend. The source at the moment only enumerates Tuners up to number 16. Could be a problem for anyone that has a number of tuners using multiplexing.

Source ID is 13 for my missing channels, have deleted the git tree and starting again as I had the same problem described earlier. Should have it up and running in an hour or so..
As an aside, neither this version or the current pvr tree play my slingbox very well anymore. Lots of picture freezing. I know it's nothing to do with these additions and probably some decoding of the slingbox wmv codecs, but it's a showstopper until it gets resolved. Thankfully I have an old pvr tree on hand to get this working. I wrote a comment in the appropriate forum but appears to have falled on deaf ears. If someone wants to look at this I can PM them slingbox details.
