okay, thanks for the reply.
Will wait and hope that the patch solves the problem once it is integrated

I LOVE xbmc, but how exactly do you install mythtv as backend? I would like to view my live TV.
Can I install Mythbuntu, without the front-end, and with gnome, and then install xbmc, and use mythTV that was installed with Mythbuntu?
Or am I at the wrong track here?

the best think to (i think) is to install ubuntu 9.10 an install mythtv from repository.
i try to get a unique frontend (xbmc) and be able to schedule records/ watch liveTV etc...
It seems that the integrated mythtv support in XBMC doesn't not allow to schedule records (it's a shame..).
May be a solution is to swap from mythtv frontend & xbmc etc... with a remote button.

I hope DVBviewers server also will work! Works fine today for live/tvrecordings but would like to have full support for epg, scheduling recordings and so on...

I just updated to 0.23 from 0.21 after the HD in my HTPC got mangled by a hard power outage. Damned compact flash...
All of my previous recordings played back fine, but not new ones. The error message seems to suggest that the hostname of the backend can't be found.
Can you try putting a DNS mapping into your hosts file to the IP address of the backend and see if that works. That has worked for my new recordings ... if only something didn't delete the cards out of MythTV I would have more to test with.
I hate upgrades because something always breaks!
I'll look more into this later. I don't know what is going on for me because the name of the host not being found is the machine name when I upgraded. I have changed the machine name since and it's still using the old one...

Well his log does say that it fails too lookup the hostname "Core" which i presume is his myth backend machine. So i bet just adding that to his DNS or host file will solve the issue.
