FYI and update on running this addon with a Raspberry Pi. I was able to watch a few recordings with no problems (glitches or pixelation). LiveTV is still a problem though. I suspect if recordings work than it might have to do with a timing issue with requesting data from the backend vs. how quickly the backend can serve it up. As I mentioned, I get the same on a VM on a Mac Pro so I'm not sure it's a Myth issue. I may try running mythfrontend from a VM on the Mac Pro to see if I get LiveTV with similar issues.

Janbar, I had a few questions on your build comments earlier. Not sure if I should be doing anything differently or I'm good for now. I got the impression you may have updated the make file to use the right version of dependencies on the build. Let me know otherwise.

I had reverted the patch to check xbmc-pvr api 1.9.1 which is the new version available for xbmc 14.0. So currently i keep the master branch for xbmc gotham using xbmc-pvr api 1.9.0, because lot of us test with gotham. Later (few months...) i will switch again to the api 1.9.1.

If anyone is interested, here is how I cross compiled the addon on Mythbuntu 14.04 64bit for Raspberry pi running raspbmc (debian wheezy). Bulding on the pi took around an hour, building on my laptop using the cross compile is around 2 minutes (Intel core i7).

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git automake libtool zip
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools.git --depth 1
export PATH=~/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin:$PATH
cd to the source xbmc-pvr-addons
./bootstrap
./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf
make -C lib/cppmyth -j n (n is the number of cpu cores)
make clean zip -C addons/pvr.mythtv


Now transfer the addon pvr.mythtv-linux-arm.zip to the Raspberry pi and unzip in .xmbc/addons, I used gftp.

Note: you might want to put the "export PATH...." line in your .bashrc file
