What people are discussing is that the pvr.mythtv addon for Helix doesn't fully support a Myth 0.27 backend. It works for most stuff, but not everything (e.g. doesn't update the watched status). So your assertion stating that configuration has "worked fine throughout" may not be true.

If that feature is genuinely important to someone, a further option is to use XBMC Gotham, which still included the cmyth addon. In fact, IIRC, cmyth was even included in Helix until the late beta stages.

It seems to me that there are many options available to have a good working frontend.

I think everyone agrees there are "options" (although, having to rollback to Gotham just to get a watched flag set seems like a rather drastic solution -- as does having to migrate to Myth 0.28).

The point of my post was to point out that pvr.mythtv for Helix is not "working fine" in all cases -- which is a completely different topic than what options are available to mitigate the problem.

Are we only allowed to discuss problems in here that have zero resolution options?
