Unable to play live TV

Exclamation 
Hi Guys,

I'm just getting my feet wet here; my HD-PVR arrived yesterday, and I set up Mythbuntu 11.10 as my MythTV backend (running MythTV 0.24). Everything works fine on Mythbuntu, i.e. watching recordings as well as live TV. However, on my ATV2 with XBMC 11.0 (Eden) I can't watch live TV. (I haven't tried recordings as of yet, since I can't even get live to work -- but I suspect recordings won't play as well.) As I'm very new to this, I could very well have some setting incorrect, or maybe something else wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Platform: ATV2
iOS Version:
XBMC Version:
Install Method: SSH'd
XBMC.LOG: http://pastebin.com/qRMzbb47
Debug Log: http://pastebin.com/Kiy3QAek


Update 7 Jul 2012 14:14: Quick note that MythBox on XBMC installed on Mac does not play live TV as well. In both cases, the HD-PVR starts recording briefly (lights up unit and recording lights) for about 3 seconds, then turns off again, and MythBox spinning wheel goes away with no error.

Update 7 Jul 2012 15:27: Added complete debug log from starting XBMC, running MythBox, trying to view live TV, then quitting XBMC.

Update 7 Jul 2012 16:05 16:30: Attempted playback of recorded file. Audio works, but recording is green with faint images, then hangs up ATV2 completely after about 5 seconds of playback. Green screen issue is resolved by turning off Video Hardware Acceleration in XBMC Settings > Video > Playback. Playback is a bit choppy, but I attribute that to it recording at the same time I'm playing it back. It no longer hangs, however.

Update: disabling video acceleration is not a final solution, as it causes playback issues is other XBMC modules (like Tagesschau, ZDF, etc.). XBMC on my mac plays "Watch TV" just fine, and it plays fine on the MythTV box as well. Only the AppleTV 2 is causing this problem, and only in Mythbox when trying to "Watch TV". Any ideas?

I'm experiencing the exact same problems but with a OSX Myth 0.25 backend...no stream playing at all, but EPG seems to be working fine. Any pointers?

try latest nightly - it has updated ffmpeg + pvr support (there should be a mythtv addon in there too - not sure about that).
