After the initial test drive, all I have to say is wow! 100 channels used to take anywhere between 20 to 40 seconds to load epg. Now, less than 2 seconds. That's a 10x improvement. This should be in opdenkamp's xbmc-pvr-addons.

jdembski, are you going to submit a PR?

Thanks! Great improvement in epg load times.

Great to hear this. I still have to create a working OpenELEC test build with this change to test it a littlebit further - the last build I made instantly crashed, which was a problem in XBMC master I think.

Eventually I will create a PR and sent it to opdenkamp's xbmc-pvr-addons.

Did you also test the "timeshift"? Can you also check whether the settings dialog is displayed correctly? I think in the main xbmc-pvr-addons repository there is still a bug which prevents the user to select a path for the picons (if the user doesn't want to load it from the webinterface)
