Any chance we could get the "Failed to connect to MythTV backend" popup messages removed from the addon? If xbmc is unable to connect to a previously working mythtv backend because you are away from your local network or the backend is suspended, xbmc spams you with a popup notification every 10 or so seconds that plays a sound each time and appears over videos/visualisations. The only way to stop it is to disable the addon/live tv.
In 1.6.9 the line 189 of pvrclient-mythtv.cpp contains the code that sends the notification
With that line removed, when the backend is unreachable when anything to do with Mythtv is accessed you get the popup with a yellow exlamation mark saying 'No PVR client started yet... Check you configuration or check the logs...'. You still get error messages in the log with the line removed. As soon as the backend is available xbmc connects and live tv functionality is available to use. This behaviour is similar to that of the xbmc library and remote content that is not available.
So what do you guys think?
