Tested the WMC server today. Far more stable than NextPVR and MediaPortal regarding my set up which consists of an HD HomeRun dual ota tuner, and two Hauppage USB tuners. Channel logos were imported as well.
Yes it is slow when changing channels, but my only issue that I'm concerned about is Dolby Digital audio for Broadcast TV. This seemed to have broken my ability to play Lossy Audio for both love tv and my movies.
I adjusted the audio settings within XBMC to disable Dolby Digital, DTS, and AAC support. This fixes playback for live tv, movies, and recorded tv shows, but of course those audio formats are gone.
I decided to disable the WMC plugin and go back to NextPVR until this can be resolved. I use WMC for live broadcasts by default because Live TV within XBMC is too sensitive when it comes to weak ota signals and crashes far too often as a result.
Keep up the good work guys because this is very promising!!!

It was working for me last week, but was working on other XBMC settings and closed the server. Now I'm starting the server today and receive:
"Error on device" HDHomerun Prime-Tuner xxxxx-0, 1, & 2" can't load channels"
I click OK
"No c hannels found in WMC database, set up WMC and try again.
My WMC works normally w/ no problems. My "Other XBMC settings" I was working on was exporting channels as .strms and configuring channels w/ PseudoTV Live. Sort of related, but I dont think caused it to stop working do u?

Do you have the PVR Client located in your addons folder?
Try uninstalling the wmc_server app and try again.

Great work!!! So far this is working great for me on my HTPC and my laptop. The WMC server is running on the HTPC. It was very easy to set-up. I even get channel logos. Great job and THANKS SO MUCH!
One question.... should the linux version of the plugin work on any of the builds for the Raspberry Pi, or is that a completely different animal?
Thanks

HD = yes. Same problem as you. SD is ok.
