[RELEASE] MythBox for XBMC - a MythTV Front-end Python Script for XBMC
I'm wondering if it is possible for a plugin/script to access a "media source". If so, Mythbox could be modified to be able to use a media source for accessing the mythtv recordings directory... this would get around the need to mount the directory externally to xbmc, and also to develop a script to do that mount.

Is it possible to disable the welcome/splash screen? Just the black background and white mythbox whenever I enter the add-on.

I don't believe that Mythbox mounts anything. It sends a request to the MythTV server which then streams the file.
Mythbuntu doesn't need viruses - we have Sudo

Sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear. I can mount the mythtv recordings directory as a "media source" in XBMC, but can't mount it as a mount point out side of XBMC. As Mythbox seems to only want to accept a mount point as the location of the recordings directory, this means that I can't get Mythbox running on an ATV2.

I think that if it is possible to modify Mythbox to be able to utilize a "media source" as the location of the mythtv recordings, Mythbox would work on the ATV2.

Cheers,
Steve

I installed .24 mythubuntu and was able to access it using myth plugin in XBMC dharma. I am aware that this plugin does not work **fully** in .24 - Are there any plans to support 0.24 in the future? Is this development actively pursued?

Whoever developed this plugin - hats off! now XBMC can be one media center for ALL my needs

I think full 24 support will come as part of the PVR enhancement. There was some thought that 23.1 wouldn't work properly but it turns out the code was tolerant enough it wasn't a problem. 23.1 is where Mythtv changed their version ID system which 24 uses.

I'm working on a new skin for mythbox for Night(SVN only sorry!).
Here's one screen shot. (WIP!)

There are two things I can't figure out.

First where are the X,Y positions of show title, episode titles in TV GUIDE? I can't seem to find them in the tvguide.xml.

Second I can't seem to find the font size deceleration for TV shows in livetv.xml. Any ideas?

EDIT: I don't have any tuners on my Coding machine, just mythtv installed so it not showing anything is expected.
Nothing to see here....

Having an issue related to the Aeon MQ2 theme, but only with Mythbox and I wonder if anyone here can help, as the Aeon MQ 2 thread is rather difficult to get help with as it moves too fast so I'd thought I'd give it a try here.

I posted here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=750...count=3142

Also having an issue where randomly at the main screen (recent recordings) if I hit C for context menu to be able to delete the recording XBMC crashes out in a blink.

I'm seeing a problem when watching a recording as it is recording. FYI watching a completed recording works fine.

The recording is not being scanned for commercial skips while being watched (scan occurs after the recording is completed).

The recording plays for 5-6minutes and then stops. I then have to start playing it again and skip forward to where I was when it stopped. This happens 4-5 times in a half hour program.

Is this a known problem?

Bueller? Bueller?

Addtl notes: Today I tried simultaneous recording 2 programs (HD & SD) and watching another (HD). Worked fine, so this problem only occurs when watching a program as it records and is not directly resource related.

Does mythtv work as well on windows vs Linux? Also since ceton requires the playon plugin to decode I doubt it'll work with anything else.
Nothing to see here....

There is a version of Mythtv for windows. I want to avoid using Windows as the ceton product would work nicely in a live version of XBMC. Not to mention the additional licensing expense.
My understanding of the decoding it takes place on the add on card completely independent of Windows or the O.S.
