MythTV on OpenELEC/XBMC

Post by SpinnerRow »

Using OpenELEC 4.0.2 with XBMC. Whenever I go to TV it says there are no PVRs enabled but it is enabled in my PVR Addons. I'm using an HDHomeRun Prime and XBMC and MythTV are on the same box.

What am I missing with this?

You may find better assistance at the XBMC forums. We do not write or support the OpenELEC/XBMC plugin.

After spending almost 3 weeks on this, I can tell you that you will need to compile the addon. That was beyond my abilities so I downgraded (actually reinstalled) mythtv 0.25 and it will work with Frodo or Gotham OR builds. I used the previous (not newest) mythbuntu which includes mythtv 0.25. Good luck!

I have it the other way around with XBMC installed on Mythbuntu. It was fairly easy to set up.

What application/plugin are you using for youtube? I am interesting in setting that up.

Thanks

Change the localhost IP to the IP of your backend instead of the 127.0.0.1. Also, make sure your database password is entered correctly on the cmyth add-on. Sometimes it generates a random password on install. You can check the database password in /etc/mythtv/config.xml on your backend. This is what I had to do on my Mythbuntu 14.04 backend with XBMC/cmyth frontends.

Thanks, it did. Got it going without too many hassles, main one being no hdmi audio in mythbuntu/xfce.
