Argus_TV that should either be merged under PVR, or they should be merged to Add-on: There is also already a category: Category:PVR add-ons - Fiveisalive 17:19, 10 October 2012 (EDT) Shouldn't the individual articles about PVR add-ons be moved into the Add-on namespace? Currently there are a number of pages already in that namespace, e.g. This made the PVR API available to all mainstream XBMC users, although the addons are still to be maintained in a separate repository and not distributed with XBMC releases. Although binary addons were not available, the PVR branch of XBMC started to use these as a structure for having various backends plug-in to a common API structure.ĭuring the development cycle for XBMC 12.0 (Frodo) the merge of the PVR and mainline XBMC branches was approved during the Devcon. With the release of XBMC 10.0 (Dharma) came the addition of the addon framework to XBMC. As this project became more mature it opened the door for skinners to start taking advantage of skinning interfaces for PVR and add them to various XBMC skins. Project student Alcoheca began the fork of what would eventually become the XBMC PVR branch. Serious efforts to create a PVR frontend for XBMC started with a project during Google Summer of Code 2008.
These file sources were also part of the XBMC core codebase, so updates to the backend API often broke the integration until XBMC pushed out an update. This did not allow XBMC to be used a true PVR frontend since user still had to view EPG data and schedule recordings via the backend interface. XBMC has long had support for viewing recordings from backend recording services such as MythTV and TVHeadend through the use of specialized video sources that communicate with the backend software. Here is an article I found quite some time ago that explains how to get schedule data without paying SchedulesDirect for it.MythTV add-on not yet merged into XBMC PVR Addons Repo, but is available in fetzerch's branch That guy really needs to get help, or get a life. Even the company that provides the data doesn't really seem to care, so nobody can understand why he's so anal on the subject, but heaven help you if you post in the MythTV forum and happen to mention that you live in the USA or Canada and are not using SchedulesDirect - he'll likely barge into the thread and tell you that you are stealing, but that is only his opinion. There is one guy in the MythTV forums that runs around screaming that using other methods are illegal but he is the only one that seems to care. Just to dispel a common myth (no pun intended), you don't have to subscribe to SchedulesDirect when using MythTV either.
