do you not use dvrmstoolbox to initiate comskip? thats what i do and i have that program with the paid version of comskip monitoring my recordedtv folder. it produces the xml files and keeps them in C:\Users\Public\DvrmsToolbox\CommercialsXml\
i think from there dvrmstoolbox also helps wmc to process the commercial xmls but i have no idea how xbmc would interact with them
also xbmc definitely needs to integrate live tv / recorded tv with the remainder of the library in the way that the program linked to above, recordedtvhd, does. i use this and its an essential part of my wmc setup, i couldn't make the transition to xbmc on my main htpc without it. but i think that needs much deeper integration than i imagine is planned by this addin? it would be very gratefully received but seems like a significant task

It sounds to me like what people are looking for here in the long run is after a program is recorded (either scheduled or on the fly), it is automagically trimmed front and back, commercials removed, renamed, moved to the appropriate regular library directory and scanned into the library. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the gist I get from what I have read. I think the concept is cool but is going to be a ton of work and nothing that is going to happen next week.
All I want is smooth time shifting like is on a cable/sat box LOL.
The XBMC team, plug-in devs, skinners, etc. do this for us for FREE in their spare time because they want to. Think about that for a second before you start bitching...

I have never tried the commercial removal utilities myself but it doesn't surprise me to hear they aren't perfect. Never really saw how they could be.

I dunno if this is helpful, but mcebuddy is my goto for com skip and library management. WMC records, after it stops, mce picks it up, converts to TS, comskips, labels series and episode info based on the EPG (not perfect for the random kids shows my wife wants), then moves it to the appropriate series folder on my nas. In XBMC, my "recordings" goes to my DVR folder.

feature request : Integrating a custom stream into the server end of this great pvr plugin.
Streams like RT television. or ustvnow streams. are reliable streams and would be worth having.
Thanks.

Feature Request for the client side of things. Can we get a button mapped so when pressed it will take us directly to the live point in the stream we're watching. This can work in the Live TV View when viewing something timeshifted. It could also work when viewing Recorded TV. When pressed while watching Recorded TV it would stop playing the recording and take us to the channel the program was recorded on in the Live TV View.

That is out of the hands of a PVR client addon and would need to be done in the main XBMC itself (which addons would then implement/handle the calls etc).

hey kr - you think it would eventually be possible to make a bullet list of the requests edited into the first post?

Yeah we should do that, maybe edit the first post and keep the list there. My reason for making this a sticky is so we don't loose them. Looks like we have no shortage of ideas, just short memories and short time, this at least helps solve the first problem.

Implement resume on recordings when wtv is remuxed. Currently it just starts from the beginning every time you start the same show.
