Could be right about the ringbuffer. But it works OK for me.

I agree, having a complete MediaPortal client would be fantastic, and that's my goal. I've already had correspondence with TheChad, and there could be some scope for combining parts of his excellent work and that of EvilDude, into a complete solution.

However, as both of these gurus have pointed out to me, XBMC will soon have a new unified PVR interface. So the GUI will be taken care of, and all we will need to do is the backend stuff. There will be a MythTV reference plug-in for it, and I hope to be a part of the MP PVR plug-in. The project is described at XBMC | GSoC - Unified PVR Frontend. He's a little behind schedule, but we can all forgive him for that, given that he's working on the most awesome new addition to the most awesome media centre on the planet.

So, while I'm doing some work on the MP video plug-in, I can't see myself dedicating lots of time to something that will mostly be redundant soon. I'll probably just get the basic functionality going so it's usable until Alcoheca's code comes to fruition.
