No, PVR will not be in the May cycle (which is closed to new features as of May 10th anyways).
System: XBMC HTPC with HDMI WASAPI & AudioEngine - Denon AVR-3808CI - Denon DVD-5900 Universal Player - Denon DCM-27 CD-Changer
- Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray - X-Box 360 - Android tablet wireless remote - 7.1 Streem/Axiom/Velodyne Surround System
If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!

AE = HD audio would be my guess. And like someone basically said: What's the difference other than using a different package/git?

Let's look at it this way. Frodo will be pulled forward by not having PVR in it, instead of waiting for PVR to be completely finished. So we will have PVR on the same day in XBMC stable as we would have, but now we get an "extra" stable inbetween, with Audio Engine. Hey, that's great.
So there, now we can all stop being disappointed. (Well I'm trying to, anyway.)

I think a key reason for disappointment is that the inclusion of PVR in main may have resulted in wider skin support. Still a good selection though :-)

Definitely a bummer that PVR isn't planned for Frodo anymore. I am continuing to hope that it makes it into the main branch...it seems like such a weird thing to not yet have fully integrated. It would be awesome to be able to pull nightly builds easily without building my own. I had heard that Frodo was "the PVR build" (kind of in the same way that Dharma was "the Add-Ons build"). Ah well!

I have a hint: they do not want to have it integrated because their sopnsors do not want. It has been so for a least 3 releases and it always the same sory. Seems ridiculous compared to other things that get in.

Looks like the PVR branch was just merged into the mainline... congrats all!

I see that PVR was merged without the addons..... for those of us using a more esoteric branch (like tsp's libcmyth branch) will we need to pull down his addon code and just compile the addon and then install it into a post-september Frodo build (assuming tsp's code is updated/rewritten to work with the PVR rewrite)?
