stilger: when you asked if anyone has seen the "myth backend lockup when moving around in this script", do you mean that your backend crashes or do you mean that xbmc becomes unresponsive? i haven't noticed the myth backend locking up or crashing while using the script. i have noticed the problem where sometimes you can't get out of a screen but you can still ftp to xbmc and you can navigate within the screen. however, i haven't been able to track down what is going on in the interpreter. it is like the event handler no longer gets called and so the code that responds to the menu button no longer gets invoked.
loto_bak: the memory access violation means that there is some memory trashing happening in the xbmc memory space. this could be as a result of something completely unrelated or it could be some python code that is triggering a memory error in the python interpreter. i haven't seen this problem on my setup so it is hard to know how to fix it. it could be that some recent cvs changes are not quite stable and that once those are fixed, this problem will go away. i'll try enabling debug in mythtvmain.py to see why the recorded programs isn't working - thanks for the heads up.
with any of these problems, if you can come up with a short set of steps to reproduce it consistently, post the steps here. it will help in tracking down how to fix it...
