It seems to fail to tune to the channel. Is the backend really running? The channel list is taken from db, not from the backend so it can still show up even if the actual backend isn't running.

yes backend is running.
this is its output from xbmc when entering recordings folder
2008-02-08 01:06:14.427 adding: media-server as a client (events: 0)
2008-02-08 01:06:14.427 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Monitor
and this is the same for the mythfrontend

no you don't need gmythstreamer. i really don't know what could be the cause. you could try and download gmyth-cat and see if you can playback stuff with mplayer and that.
gmyth-cat -h backend_ip -p backend_port -c 65 > test.mpg
And play test.mpg with mplayer. Or you can change command line to grab a recording instead.

Using XBMC Linux and gmyth -- can you delete MythTV recordings? (and it properly deletes/updates the backend) ?

Im pretty sure gmyth is capable of this but dont think it has been implemented yet by elupus.

ok updated today to latest svn which didnt fix my problem so i did abit more experimenting and put the port number after the hostname which now works. Live tv is still pretty buggy but it is farr better than i was expecting.
keep up the good work elupus.

Does automatic commercial skipping work? (it reads the commflag data from the myth database and auto skips)

I'm not quite sure as my mythtv setup needs some settings tweaking itself. But i will say that currently it is not stable enough to be replacing the regular frontend.

internal support for mythtv will be much more versatile than that script imo.

Deleting Recorded shows shouln't be hard to add at all. Can do in a few days. Just not sure how much time I want to spend using the gmyth client.
It's annoying that I can't port it easily to xbox. Too many dependencies. Plus it's quite slow. Found another lib that i might start using instead. cmyth, will give it a try and see how well it works.
Adding the filesystem stuff into xbmc directly makes alot of sence since it removes the xbmcmyth script's requirement of smb:// sharing the recordings. plus livetv playback should be quicker and easier to change channels on.
I'm pondering adding a local mythtv url that provides a xmltv xml file. Could then be used by python gui's to display a EPG. Think doing it that way makes alot of sence. It's a standardized format after all. Anybody know of any python script that can read xmltv xml's and display them?
