alright, i have just checked in fixes for live tv and recorded show playback tested with a march 12, 2005 cvs build of xbmc. everything seems to be very stable. live tv was definitely broken... i'm not sure when i checked in the broken code - i'm pretty sure it would not have worked with any version of xbmc. sorry for the red herring there.
fyi, the new mplayer core is much more accurate when seeking. as a result, i removed some workarounds when playing back recorded shows with automatic commercial skipping. the commercial skipping is pretty good now and my xbmc source code changes have made it into cvs now so everyone should be able to try it out with a fairly recent build.
if you think commercials were not skipped correctly, please verify that the myth tv frontend skips the commercial differently before posting a bug report. also, keep in mind that the python myth tv frontend only uses the timing info generated by myth tv to skip commercials. the official myth tv frontend uses the timing info as a guideline and then also analyzes frames to get a smoother commercial skip. the python version will never be as smooth as the official frontend.
