Can you try to use tomorrow's nightly build?

I loaded the nightly build 20130109 and the issue persists. I realize that you don't think this is addon related, but the xbmc player (omxplayer in raspbmc) seek works correctly when the mythtv recordings directory is mounted via nfs to the pi. I read somewhere (maybe in this forum) that some conversion needs done between time and frame seeking in the addon. Could that be contributory? I've noticed that the skip commercial functionality of mythtv also doesn't work correctly on these recordings. It usually skips too far. These recordings were encoded by a Hauppauge 1600 from an analog cable feed. The times listed in mythtv for the longer recordings also appear incorrect with 1 hour recordings showing around 52 minutes. Perhaps if you or janbar could take a look at the log http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?20idnuhryfyroee there might be some hints. Thank you for your attention to this and your and janbar's work on the addon.

It only works if you build directly from the dev repository...

Ok, that makes sense. Since the version number had changed to 1.6.7, I assumed that I was getting the latest addon build.

I'd be happy to test the new version on Raspberry Pi if you can point me to instructions for building it for that platform, or a pre-built image.

It is great to have a small PC in the lounge connected to my mythtv and to be able to watch my recordings easily.

Every now and then I think, maybe I should buy a Humax or Freeview+ box or something, but then XBMC and MythTV show how much better life can be.

Congratulations again.

Thanks for the #1st class work.

The openelec build system wants to download all source packages from a web server, that's why it's a bit tricky to build.
Also be aware that the first build takes several hours since it build the complete distro.

Code:

git clone git://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv.git
cd OpenELEC.tv

Modify the script 'tools/mkpkg/mkpkg_xbmc-pvr-addons' and
replace the url with git://github.com/fetzerch/xbmc-pvr-addons.git
Then run this script. It will create a source tarball that you have to
upload to a (local) http server.

Edit packages/mediacenter/xbmc-pvr-addons/meta:
Edit the PKG_VERSION, PKG_SITE and PKG_URL with the data of the
uploaded source tarball.

Code:

PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm make release

Thanks a lot guys and also a big thanks to janbar for all his work!
Its really nice to have the addon added to the official xbmc repos.
Now we're doing our best to get an update out with the current bugfixes and improvements.
With the pvr repos in place it should be possible to roll it out soon.

And then indeed, 'commercial skipping' is one of the next big todos and as you might have seen,
the work is already in progress.

Cheers,
Christian

It's not as clean as the method suggested above, but there is no need for an http server and it can be easily run as a single script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# change path to where you keep your git clone
cd /tank/xbmc/openelec-git/OpenELEC.tv

source ./packages/mediacenter/xbmc-pvr-addons/meta

if [ ! -d ./sources/$PKG_NAME/ ]; then
    mkdir -p ./sources/$PKG_NAME/
fi

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/fetzerch/xbmc-pvr-addons/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
mv xbmc-pvr-addons-master $PKG_NAME-$PKG_VERSION
tar -cJf $PKG_NAME-$PKG_VERSION.tar.xz $PKG_NAME-$PKG_VERSION
rm -r $PKG_NAME-$PKG_VERSION master.zip

mv $PKG_NAME-$PKG_VERSION.tar.xz ./sources/$PKG_NAME/
md5sum sources/$PKG_NAME/$PKG_NAME-$PKG_VERSION.tar.xz > sources/$PKG_NAME/$PKG_NAME-$PKG_VERSION.tar.xz.md5
echo "http://sources.openelec.tv/devel/$PKG_NAME-$PKG_VERSION.tar.xz" > ./sources/$PKG_NAME/$PKG_NAME-$PKG_VERSION.tar.xz.url

I updated our Raspberry Pi, and the addon seems to be working perfectly. We'll try using it as our primary XBMC system today, and give it a good workout.

If anyone would like to try it (at your own risk, of course), I've shared it here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ch12hu0dxee5oac

I'm building the same version for ION x86_64, but it will take about seven hours on my somewhat elderly Ubuntu system.

Thanks again also to fetzerch for the detailed responses here, and for all the great work on these addons! This will be something my wife and I will use every day.

Good idea, I went ahead and dropped the script into that wiki page.

On another note, how are you guys handling version numbers? I have had some trouble in the past keeping track of which versions are in which builds or trees. It'd be nice if your repo was always a higher version number then those you bubble up (unless they are identical of course).
