i grabbed the latest snapshot from cvs and i've gotta say i'm impressed. the live tv stuff is working almost flawlessly now that i've tweaked the buffer size, but i have found that xbmc stops playing the stream when it hits the end of the ringbuffer, at which point the backend will have looped back to the start of the file again - it'd obviously be nice if xbmc did the same thing - does anyone know if this is possible?
nice work cleaning up the tv schedule, it was a bit of a slap-together whilst learning python to get something on-screen, and the threading issues were pretty bad.
just a few things though - i originally had the tv schedule rendering every alternate cell in the schedule grid in alternating degrees of shading, which makes it a bit easier to see what times the shows start and end at. also, any scheduled recordings where flagged with a green border (i hadn't gotten to the point of handling recording priorities when there were clashes), i'm guessing these little features were casualties of the overall cleanup, but it'd be nice to see them or something better back at some point.
i've got the day off tomorrow so i might have a tinker again, i'll post a patch if i get carried away.
