I just updated to the latest release pvr-ppa-odk56:

 It would be nice if someone could verify this works with mythtv too
before I commit it...

First thing I noticed was that XBMC_Mythtv.pvr should really be
XBMC_MythTV.pvr because it complains in the logfile when loading the
addon:

ERROR: ADDON: Could not locate XBMC_MythTV.pvr


gets it a step further.

Next thing is an undefined symbol:


symbol "_ZTI14MythXmlCommand"

It looks like this is part of libmythxml but It was not linked to the
shared object. While searching for that problem I found the following

for the PVR code?


http://xbmc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=xbmc/xbmc;a=patch;h=7e83f17

Both problems fixed with the attached patch.

Now getting to the next undefined symbol:

ERROR: Unable to load
/usr/local/lib/xbmc/addons/pvr.mythtv/XBMC_MythTV.pvr, reason:
/usr/local/lib/xbmc/add
ons/pvr.mythtv/XBMC_MythTV.pvr: Undefined symbol "GetChannelsAmount"

Moving the file to /usr/local/lib/xbmc/addons/pvr.mythtv/XBMC_MythTV.pvr ERROR: Unable to load /usr/local/lib/xbmc/addons/pvr.mythtv/XBMC_MythTV.pvr, reason: /usr/local/lib/xbmc/addons/pvr.mythtv/XBMC_MythTV.pvr: Undefined commit which includes a hunk for xbmc/pvrclients/mythtv/Makefile.in and looks pretty right in what it does. But it's quite different code than what you have in your port. Are you sure you aren't using an old branch

in the MythTV wiki (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:MythXML):


will no longer be valid.

So the xbmc pvr plugin for mythtv is kind of useless.

I got the plugin load correctly now with another patch that is attached. After setting the PIN in mythtv-setup it also connects fine to the backend now but I cannot import any channels into xbmc so I cannot even test watching TV. It feels a lot like the code is unfinished or unmaintained and not expected to work with mythtv 0.24. The future also doesn't look good because I found The MythXML interface has been rewritten for upcoming 0.25, and these methods
