Cool, thanks.
I'll recompile openelec tonight to include your changes. In regards to getting a devs attention I think your best bet would be to make a pull request on the xbmc git hub page, I'm pretty sure the whole xbmc team will be notified.

XBMC 12.0 w/ 1.6.9
Took a while to nail this one down but I have found an issue.
If you are watching livetv on a channel and a recording is about to start the plugin kicks you off the tuner 30 seconds prior to recording. If you start viewing that channel immediately than the recording never actually starts but it also never ends. The process creates a stale "currently recording" program. This stale recording can be viewed through the home menu information as well as mythweb. The only way to clear that stale program is to restart mythtv-backend. If you however wait until the recording begins before restarting livetv playback than a different tuner is allocated and the recording is successful.
This can be reproduced if you tune the same channel immediately after being kicked off but I have not tested this process with any channel other than. My guess is that if you grab any channel that results in taking the first available tuner with the channel for the recorded show associated with it than you can reproduce the issue.
I find it an inconvenience to have to restart livetv when a show begins but I find it far more frustrating to have to find an available time when nothing is recording and the family isn't watching anything to restart my backend. Any fix for this that doesn't require patience on the part of my family is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Is it possible to run 1.7.11 on 12.2? Im having to go backwards due to the problems with ffmpeg/VAAPI/MPEG-2 but i'd rather not lose the newer features.
Thanks!

I've got two installs of Xbmc - one is frodo 12.2 and the other is gotham. I was having issues with recordings of a certain program causing the gotham install to crash immediately upon starting. This doesn't happen with the frodo install. So I built them each again, but the problem persists.
Sound familiar to anyone?

Probably something to do with it being in a alpha state...
