@doveman2:
XBMC supports only 1 channel sort order and not the separate sorting field from MediaPortal that allows different orders between groups. The sorting order in XBMC is either based on the channel number (when enabled in the XBMC PVR settings) or the order of the All channels group. I have to check if the TVServerXBMC plugin uses the group order when importing only 1 particular group.

That's the thing though, it's not using the All Channels group order, only channel number order, even though I've disabled the three options under Enabled in TV Settings.

The TVServerXBMC plugin should automatically stop a TV stream when the client stops it or terminates the connection, so somehow, the TVServerXBMC plugin does not detect an abandoned connection on port 9596 and keeps the stream alive. The only way to solve that is to introduce a keep-alive message system as implemented by the Argus-TV server. It is not something which I plan to add.

That's a shame as without that it's out of the question for me to use it, as I can't have timeshifting left going unnecessarily, constantly creating files and preventing my PC from sleeping

With respect to your standby problem: the TVServerXBMC plugin does not implement any of these methods. It is just a minimal command gateway between the TVServer and the PVR addon.

With respect, it should use one or the other to prevent the problem I described. Perhaps it might be possible to use PS++'s Network Monitoring as a workaround. I'm not sure if that resets the Windows Standby Timer though.

Your last log clearly indicates that XBMC itself on your RPi cannot access the smb share (time out). All smb access is done through XBMC itself and outside the PVR addon.
Furthermore, I can't provide much support for the RPi because I don't own one and because I think it is barely powerful enough to handle TV using the XBMC PVR API.
I've seen too many messages already about unstable streaming.

Fair enough. It actually works OK when it's working, albeit a bit slow to open the EPG and change channel but I can understand if you're not able to support it for the RPi.

The TVServerXBMC plugin causes some other intermittent issues at the moment, such as making TV Server Config take a long while to open and when it does, the Stop Service button is missing from the Manual tab and it doesn't show any status for the tuners, even though they're working, so you might want to look into those.
