I've done some investigating of the Schedules-Direct episodeid stuff. The episode data seems to come directly from TMS, who provide the raw data to SD. As far as I can tell, there is no easy way to map the episodeid directly to the season/episode number, however, TMS does seem to provide an accurate 'air date' which should be sufficient. So, the patch dteirney linked to should work fine. I haven't tried it yet myself, but will likely give it a shot this weekend. I am (one of the folks?) working on integrating Mythtv into the Library better. I'll make sure to post back here when I have more interesting results than my proof-of-concept.

Is anyone interested it putting together a MythTV Source screen that can be used through the "Add Source" GUI? At the moment the only way to add a MythTV source is to know it's possible and type in the URL. Would be great to have a dedicated MythTV source screen where you can type in the IP address / Hostname, MySQL username and MySQL password.
I'm not sure where to start, but perhaps looking at how the other Add Source screens are done would shed some light.

David, I've just been looking at the XBMC Roadmap and spotted that one of the milestones for 11.0 is:
Move the MythTV client code out of XBMC and into a PVR back-end client addon
Given that this is planned for the near future, is it worth writing more code for MythTV in core XBMC, or would we be better off making sure everything's done in a PVR plugin?

David, I totally agree with you that there's a lot of work outside of XBMC that will help with XBMC/MythTV integration (libcmyth sounds like it needs a lot of work, and MythXML doesn't do everything that's needed), and also a lot of work within XBMC that will still be usable once the MythTV code's moved to an addon.
Still, as the PVR-Testing2 branch seems, although not totally stable, at least usable, I figured that creating an addon for MythTV, alongside the existing addons for VDR, TVHeadEnd and MediaPortal, would be a (relatively) easy thing to accomplish - and nice to have done sooner rather than later. Maybe that's the bit I can try and jump in and get done - a quick plugin that can use libcmyth and/or MythXML to provide some basic TV watching and guide importing. Once something's there and working, more of the advanced parts of MythTV can be exposed to XBMC - but for now it'd be great to just have a plugin for the PVR branch that allows watching of TV and viewing of the TV guide.
