How mature.
Anyway, I took the liberty of reading over the top post once more to determine if my concerns were addressed before. The definitive answer is no.
PLTV currently does not pull PVR channels from the backend using the same channel numbers. It also does not pull the channel icons from the backend. Its kind of a pain to have to copy all of my channel icons and rename them just for PLTV when XBMC/kodi already pulls them from the backend for the PVR fuction.
I also didn't see anything about changing channels using channel numbers instead of using the arrow keys. This would be something I'd like to see. If anyone knows how to get that to work, let me know.
PLTV also does not work well when trying to use the DVR function in XBMC/Kodi (i.e setting recordings. I know thats in the works..not sure if true PVR integration is a priority on this project over other features, though). Viewing recordings from the PVR screws up everything because trying to navigate recordings also means that PLTV will change its channel every time. The recording menu then becomes stuck on top of PLTV and the script starts acting up.
As I said before, good job to the developer. I appreciate the work. I'd love to give it another shot in the future when more things have changed about it. It would be great to use this in conjunction with PVR to truly cut the cord with my family. Losing the ability to watch random movies on HBO is a big deal to them. I'd love to integrate this into my XBMC/Kodi setup in the future.
