I'm running OpenELEC 2.0 (i.e XBMC 11 Eden + PVR) on an AMD E350 system and I'm trying to get TV support up and running.
I have MythTV 0.25 running under Fedora 17 (not sure of the exact build, but it is the latest version in the standard Fedora YUM repository). This is my development machine, so building and testing specific versions of MythTV (0.24, 0.25, or 0.26) won't be a problem. Both the development machine and the XBMC box are x86_64, so there should be no problem building an XBMC add-on either.
I'm after a solution that will provide me with:
- Live TV
- EPG (over the air)
- Recording of a show being watched (don't mind if the recording starts from when the record button was pressed, but if the recording can include back to when I started watching the show, that would be a bonus)
- Scheduled recordings (individual programs & series)
- Pause, Rewind, Fast-Forward of live and recorded TV
From the bits and pieces I have read of this thread, I assume what is being discussed here ticks all of the above boxes. Problem for me is that there is so much information in this thread that a) I don't know if my assumption is correct and b) where to start in order to get it all working (what version of MythTV, where to get the add-on source, what to compile, how to configure, etc.)
So what is the current status? Is this the solution I'm looking for? How do I go about getting it all working?
i'm happy to see more out there are looking for these things and seeing MythTV as a viable solution. I myself had these same requirements, and was hoping to have them all achieved from within XBMC and have.
You'll want a recent nightly build for XBMC as Frodo is required for PVR plugins, and can just build XBMC from source here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc .
Then build the plugin from here: https://github.com/fetzerch/xbmc-pvr-addons .
My front end's are Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu 12.04 x64, both work fine great with Live TV, EPG, Recordings, Pausing Live TV.
I should mention my backend is MythTV 0.25 from having installed Mythbuntu 12.04. I haven't upgraded it, so whatever version of 0.25 that came with Mythbuntu 12.04 is what I'm running.
