I'm happy to help wherever I can, as it'd be great to finally get this plugin done.
A list of tasks would be a really good start. It may help to attract people who aren't sure if they'll be able to contribute or not, and will give us a clear idea of what's needed.

Happy to help out where possible and where capabilities will allow.
As much as I've tried to live with XBMC+TVHeadend + web scheduling or XBMC+VDR (with pvr-testing2), I keep reverting back to swapping between mythfrontend and XBMC via the remote/irexec.
It would be nice to have the following from XBMC: EPG + access to mythbackend and the capability to pause and rewind live TV (much like with myth/mythfrontend).

Count me in (for as much time as young family commitments will allow).
The idea of formulating the effort into bite sized pieces is always good one.

I am wanting to contribute, but in a slightly different way. I am working on a commercial project which utilizes XBMC and MythTV, and many of the things we are doing will benefit both communities, particularly with respect to the integration of PVR functionality within XBMC.
We are looking to hire one or two developers on a contract basis immediately. Of real interest will be active XBMC developers who have been working on this project already and whom have knowledge of both platforms.
If you are interested in finding out more, please provide contact details in a Private Message to me, with links to your personal blogs, etc. and I will get in touch with you.

Hi ubuntite. Great to hear that you're willing to offer cold, hard cash for people to work on this project. For me at least, though, any time and effort I'm going to be putting into this project will be worked around other commitments such as work and family, so I won't be contacting you regarding a contract.
I really hope we can get this plugin knocked out fairly quickly, especially as a lot of work has already been done on the core PVR functionality.
David, how are things going with the creation of a list of tasks?

I've started a very high level list in the first post. This weekend I will look at some other Myth related areas, e.g. options for getting recorded TV Shows into the TV Show library based on some old work.
If someone wants to try and wrap their head around how the Live TV chain works in libcmyth that might be useful when the Live TV stability is reviewed.

Updated the first post again.
If someone can figure out how to parse out the season and episode numbers from the mythtv program ID that would be useful. A RegExp would be great. Perhaps it could be configured in advanced settings for each XBMC installation.
Someone using Schedules Direct can probably do this more easily. Here in NZ our EPG data is a bit sparse. Happy to include code to parse out the season and episode numbers if the program ID can be identified as a Schedules Direct one.
Rumour is that the season and episode numbers are encoded in the program ID. I just can't find that information on the interweb right at this moment. I think there might have even been a track ticket or posting in the mythtv dev list at some stage.
select title, programid from recorded where programid like 'EP%';
