I have mythtv .24 running on an XBMCbuntu backend with 3 HDhomeruns (6 tuners) for OTA only. I have a foxconn RA50 fusion box running OE 1.9.5. I've had poor results to date using either the OE myth pvr addon or mythbox. Instead I just use myth:// . It's wife friendly for watching recording, but live TV has been a loser. It either locks up or I can't change channels. TVheadend is poor too.
If my setup could be helpful in your development efforts, I'd be happy to test patches, etc. I'm debating going to a full distro instead of OpenElec on the Foxconn client. I'd be happy to upgrade to Myth .25 if I can help you by doing it.
Will the latest PVR upgrade help me with Myth?

Hello! I don't know if my situation is considered timeshifting (I see on the front page that timeshifting is still a work in progress).
I begin watching a recording after it has been recording for 30min or an hour. The end-time of the recording is displayed and remains static (set to the end-time of the recording at the moment I began playing the recording). The displayed end-time doesn't continue to grow as the recording continues along. When I skip forward and catch up to the static end-time displayed, sometime it skips forward and moves the end-time forward a bit, but the time is still static. Sometimes, the skip feature won't let me catch up to "live", and keeps me 30 minutes behind "live".
Is this behavior common? I'm using 0.24.1 backend and watching ATSC mpeg2 recordings using the 24/6/2012 windows build from the first post. Thanks for any pointers!

That's a good suggestion; it even works pressing numbers on the remote and pressing "OK"!
It seems that developers are working hard to get XBMC-PVR where it should be. Hopefully one day it will match the features of Windows Media Center in this regard, which shows the scheduled start/stop times with a dynamic recording progress bar (requires EPG info), and allows resume points for in-progress recordings.

Noob question alert...
I'm trying to figure out the cause of my live tv freezing. I want to make sure I am up to date with any fixes. Is this how:
Open Terminal
cd xbmc
git pull
Assuming that is correct, do I have to bootstrap, configure, make install and make again?
Thanks

@ Mad Medik: I had about the same problems. Here are the most important commands.
After you cloned the repos you can change the branches with `git checkout Eden-pvr` to change the Eden branch or `git checkout master`for the newest Frodo source.
To check if it's the newest version just run `git status`.
To update you either run `git pull origin Eden-pvr` or `git pull origin master`.
When you don't change the branch but only update the source (git pull ...) I think it's enough to only run `make`. You can then test the build by running xbmc.bin from the directory where you built it. If evereything is running fine you can run `make install` to install the source.
Sometimes you have to run configure as well but usually make tells you if you have to do so.
Bootstrap has to be run only once.

tsp, would it be possible to update the libCEC support in your branch? I'm missing the option to select the type of device connected and pulse eight told me it's because I need to update xbmc.

Hey all I am running the windows build from the first post and everything seems to be working well with just one exception... my channels only go up to 550 in the channel guide and EPG. I even tried manually punching in a channel over 550 and nothing happens.
On my mythtv backend/frontend machine channels up to 1000 are available and work well. Any ideas why XBMC with the libcmyth plugin stops at 550?
