If I go into TV Shows, and select a video and press yellow I get the context Menu...

but in recordings, if i press yellow:

This looks indeed strange. Are you sure it doesn't get overridden somewhere else in your keymap?
If it's an issue and not a wrong config, then it's in XBMC. Addons don't have a clue about keymaps or menus or ui things in general.

** Any plans to integrate the Recordings screen with the media scrapers that are used in TV Shows?

That should be doable already. You can add a source in the video menu for recordings and setup a scraper on it.
Though, I haven't tried it myself yet.

Nearly, but I can't get anything to show up.
I did:
Videos->Files
Add Videos...

In the list of drives is a new one called 'TV recordings' (mapped to pvr://recordings)
I added that, and mapped a TV Shows scraper..

Now, on main screen, under TV Shows all the directories for the Recorded shows appear.. with the art work.
But each directory is empty.
Log another issue? If so where?

My full keymap file was in the post, nothing else.
I've logged an issue against xbmc. https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/1799

[fetzerch]

Issues should go to trac.xbmc.org or try to ask in the xbmc support section of the forum first.
As long as there's no proof that it works with another pvr addon I'd vote for it's xbmc's issue

Is scrapping working for anyone else?

No I didn't as it was closed. So I posted a new thread in the forum. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=145293

I guess I am a little confused... I thought I read that this addon got rolled into XBMC and I figured that meant I could just download and install it from XBMC, however I don't see it as an option. Is there a repo i need to add or did I misunderstand?
Thanks,
Krys

Hello, thanks for the great work. I am currently trying to get the pvr functions with libcmyth to work using the main xbmc git and fetzerch's addon git repository for linux. Everything compiles fine. However, when trying to use the plugin, i get some errors, see here: http://pastebin.com/2uXAK1AU

Would this be an error in my environment, or something related to the current status of the code?

I tried before a couple of months using tsp's git repository, but that failed with other errors.

You have to upgrade your xbmc version. Beta 1 is out. That should work!
Cheers,
Christian

[wavemaker]

cfetzer, aha. However, I am compiling from the main xbmc git already. It says 12.0 BETA FRODO already when I start that up. Could it be that fetzerch's git repository is currently ahead of that already...?? Which sources do people currently use to compile from?

[fetzerch]

Did you add the configure parameter? If not the addon isn't built at all and you might still run the old version from your repo:

Pushed a small patch that logs the API versions the addon was compiled against. That should help finding those problems quicker. Now we just need the same log line in xbmc itself.

AddOnLog: MythTV cmyth PVR Client: Creating MythTV cmyth PVR-Client

Has anyone noticed that the live TV picture quality in XBMC is not as good as watching live TV in MythTV. Especially when it comes to moving objects.

Or is it just me?

Is there any settings to fix this? XBMC and MythFrontend are on the same server as the Mythbackend.

Do you have de-interlacing turned on in XBMC? It is off by default and needs to be turned on for video feeds from the TV.

I keep receiving the following error when attempting to run the latest GIT version of cmyth:

XBMC_MythTV_cmyth.pvr: undefined symbol: ref_release

No, I'm seeing the same thing. All the programs are listed, and the fanart and descriptions come up fine for each one. But when I select a program, no episodes are shown -- only the ".." item.

Since I only have a MythTV backend system, I can't test with another addon. Perhaps someone else can?

On my system (AspireRevo 1600), with de-interlacing turned on, I get jerky playpack of 1080i content, but perfect playback of standard definition programs. With de-interlacing off, it's the opposite -- perfect for 1080i, but video combing on SD content.

What's really needed is what the MythTV frontend interface has -- the ability to automatically select the default de-interlace method based on the resolution of the content being played. I.e., you can set up playback profiles that set the deinterlace method (if any) for each video resolution.

Disregard as I fixed the problem by using the appropriate repository.
