I am running mythbuntu 12.04 as my backend with a HD Homerun and HD Homerun Prime. The HD Homerun gives me two tuners for clear QAM, and the Homerun Prime gives me 3 tuners for Encrypted QAM. As such, I've got 5 possible tuners for any of my local HD channels (NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, CW, etc) and 3 tuners for stuff like Discovery Channel and Food Network.
I have two sources setup, channels mapped and everything looks great when I look at the listings on mythweb. I have all of the callsigns and xmlids setup to match between the video sources. So looking at the listings on the mythweb interface, I see a single NBC with the proper listing.
Now when I look at the EPG from Live TV on XBMC, I see two NBCs... one for each source. Is this a problem with the cmyth plugin, or the skin, or xbmc, or is it on the backend?

Hello,
Using the Git of fetzerch, I've build the latest addon for MythTV (0.25 here). That's work pretty well, but one issue on the timer.
I can't add any timer ...
No crash of xbmc, nothing in xbmc's log.
But when I add a timer with Mythweb, the timer appears in the addon timer section.
Is it a well known issue ?
Have you got some ideas ?
Thanks a lot for any idea !
PS: xbmc frodo builded from lastest git revision, and fetzerch addon also.
Observing mysql.log doesn't show me any INSERT action... strange. And naturally, nothing in mythbackend.log.

Hello Christian,
No, since about 1 month I've playing with Frodo and your PVR addon (the mythtv one), It nerver worked for writing timings.
I thought it wasn't implemented ... But in reading this forum, I don't read anything like that.
It seems the read access at mythconverg is good (EPG appears), and some write access also: creating a timing from the EPG is possible and well registred by mythtv (mythweb show the timing).
But creating a timing "from scratch" (as a manual timing in mythweb), stay wierdly silencious ....
The last try I done is yesterday with a very very freh compilation of frodo and your addon.
I activated "general_log" for mysql -> no INSERT command passed, mythbackend.log and of course xbmc log. I don't see where I could find information about what it happens when I try to create a new timer ...
Everything else work well: live tv, epg, reading records, etc....
Anyway, Thanks for your attention towards my issue !

Hey all,
Just curious if anyone has recommendations for a physical remote control and/or an IOS remote app that works well with this addon and XBMC in general? I used to use the Constellation app, because it was the only one I had found that displayed a clickable EPG to change channels, however its EPG seems to be broken with Frodo .
Also I want a few cheap physical remote controls for some rooms of the house for guests. For the physical remote the main functions I would want are the ability to punch in a channel and a button that can bring up the on screen EPG.
Any great ideas?
Also any idea if there are any web based remotes out there that could be browsed to that show the EPG and allow you to click to tune?

Hey folks, does anybody know why plugin would only pull the channels from the remote backend (0.26) but not the full EPG? Appreciate the response.

Still seeing breaking between live shows on 0.5.0.
Unfortunately still seeing issues with show transitions breaking in-between shows during Live TV (tested on mythbunthu & openelec installs). Show ends, buffering dialog appears, and it just sits at 0% forever with no change or recovery. Would be happy to send logs if folks could point me to the right directory (preferably on my OE machine).
I am using a dell mini 10v netbook for my mythbackend (0.24) at the moment (with the stock 5400rpm drive). If you guys think there is a chance that upgrading to a faster drive could eliminate the show breaks I'd be willing to give that a shot. FWIW, using a traditional mythfrontend generates a slight pause in-between shows with that set-up but never anything that breaks the live feed.

Again, let me thank those who have put a lot of time and effort into this addon. I have now removed ALL Comcast boxes and just running on the M-card with the Ceton pcie tuner. I just want to post some observations,nothing critical, the WAF factor is now acceptable and she is getting use to this addon over the mythfrontend one.
1. I saw post above about the commercial skipping, will wait.
2. Can the Radio button on the pop-out be moved to the bottom of the list or even as a addon config to be added or not. Going from TV to EPG tab it stops on the radio button for 4-5 seconds same with the recordings but it is already below the EPG (ie, TV Channels/EPG/Recordings/Timer/Radio).
3 When I'm in EPG : timeline and I see a show that I want to watch currently playing and I select it, the pop-up comes up with the default of OK, and it would be easier if it defaulted to switch. (OK/RECORD/SWITCH or SELECT/TUNE would be better) mho
4. When watching a show and I select menu on remote the info bar and options show. If I go to the terminal symbol and hit select it shows an appreviated epg on right side of screen. Very nice, but it jumps to channels in the 400's range rather than the channel I'm watching ie 36. The regular epg works fine
And last but not least the remote, I noticed in the keyboard.xml file in main xbmc location there is some options for a PVR guide/menus/etc. Anyone know how or have implemented it yet? When I hit guide I get the status menu with cpu util/fps/audio etc. Would be nice if the timeline EPG would show or any guide for that matter.
Most the stuff above is cosmetic and some major like commercial skipping, but overall I am using daily without ANY problems with .25 backend and ION2 frontends.
For some having problems with HD, make sure your network is at least 1 GB BW. I am running one TV off a Netgear AC Ethernet adapters and it works fine at 170mbps, but is interfaced into a 10/100 network. If I am running a HD channel in the living rm and then select a HD stream in my office I get video stuttering, just not enough for two HD channels on one 10/100 backbone. Planning to change out the two 10/100 switches with the 10/100/1000 mbps ones. PC's are set to use the 1000 Mbps nics.
Overall I am a happy camper and WAF is loving it also. Kudos to all involved, no more comcast stb's.
