Hm yeah as I posted on Saturday when Torfinn Ingolfsen did a first test (I think I even Cc'd you): Bad news: I asked on the xbmc-pvr channel and was told this mythtv addon hasn't been maintained for months i.e. it apparently bitrotted. There is a new one using libcmyth mentioned here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=110694 only the git repo linked, https://github.com/tsp/xbmc is a fork of the entire opdenkamp xbmc pvr, so I guess I'll leave porting that to someone that actually uses mythtv i.e. not me... Sorry, :( Juergen
