You have to update patch file. I will post it next. Just to tell i posted OpenElec builds of addon 1.12.6 in my cloud since 2 minutes.

@pyrodex , so the content of patch file "packages/mediacenter/kodi-pvr-addons/patches/kodi-pvr-addons-buildfix.patch" should be replaced by:

cmyth was removed after helix beta 2. I believe the last nightly that still included it was 11/11. So there's another option: find a good build 11/11 or earlier and enjoy that until myth 0.28 is ready for prime time.

I reiterate that, although your comment indicates otherwise, the the new plugin does work very well with 0.27. The concern some have raised, evidently important to you and others, is that the new plugin can't mark watched shows under 0.27.

Yeah, I'm sorry if it appears I implied that it didn't work. It does work very well. But watched status is a bit of a killer feature as far as the WAF goes. How else is she going to know which episodes of EastEnders she's watched when they're all pretty much the same? Big Grin

Therein lies the answer, it doesn't matter as they ARE all the same/

Well I had a quick look but it is going to be a lot of work, and I think it's beyond me.

It strikes me that the most sensible way to resolve this is to try to convince the mythtv devs to backport the appropriate API code to 0.27. But the mythtv dev mailing list scares me Big Grin

Anybody want to volunteer?

nickr · 2015-02-20, 23:54

That probably depends on whether the patch easily applies to 0.27.4 source.

Sounds like a project for the rest of the weekend.

so, why not try one of the helix builds that still had cmyth, or even Gotham? What essential thing would you lose that would outweigh what, for you, is a killer feature?

Speaking of missing functionality..

When this was incorporated in the old cmyth plugin, the com skip was perfect. It solves the problem of variable frame rate video streams.

I assume this is not available via the API?

Is your comm skip not working? I have not noticed any inferiority in its function between cmyth and myth. As long as myth has marked the ads accurately, it seems to skip at the right time.

Hi,

In another thread (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=201778) i've been advised (by fritsch) that the Myth plugin is causing the 'main loop' to stop for around a second when it receives an event from the backend. The message I was troubleshooting is "DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio:: Dropping packet of 20 ms" that occurs when the backend generates a RECORDING_LIST_CHANGE event.

Is this by design, and is it different on 0.28? I'm getting slight audio/video stutter on playback of non-myth HD video files in Kodi.

It does not work correctly on variable frame rate TS-MPEG's, which is what the local cable company uses to save bandwidth.

It jumps early, and to the wrong spot, which is all symptoms of a variable frame rate; the EDL used by this plugin to calculate jumps in the video running is fixed frame rate.

Myth developers created the referenced fix exactly for this problem, because Myth is frame count based, and Kodi is time based.

I reiterate that, although your comment indicates otherwise, the the new plugin does work very well with 0.27. The concern some have raised, evidently important to you and others, is that the new plugin can't mark watched shows under 0.27.

Yeah, I'm sorry if it appears I implied that it didn't work. It does work very well. But watched status is a bit of a killer feature as far as the WAF goes. How else is she going to know which episodes of EastEnders she's watched when they're all pretty much the same?
so, why not try one of the helix builds that still had cmyth, or even Gotham? What essential thing would you lose that would outweigh what, for you, is a killer feature?

Rolling back to Gotham is not a practical thing to do though due to the xbmc/kodi name change.

If I could be confident that going to an earlier version of Helix would work, that all the addons would still work, that it wouldn't bugger the configuration, that I wouldn't end up spending even more hours than I already have fiddling with the thing to try and make it function, then yes I'd go back to an early Helix version... But I can't be confident in that. I do not want to spend half a day farting around trying to get it to work. It's a toaster, or a fridge, not a project. I'm tired of faffing around with it, which is the reason I use XBMC/Kodi in the first place - it just works, except for this. Yeah it's a killer feature but is it worth going to all that pain and effort to get it back? No.
