Nice one. I'll see about getting the patch incorporated into the plug-in source.

I'd love to work on the XBMC side of an EPG. My two main problems are: a) I'm time-poor, and b) I'm very unfamiliar with the XBMC scripting environment. I'd probably start with an EPG from one of the other XBMC scripts, like the MythTV script, and then migrate the back-end calls from MySQL queries to calls to the plug-in on the MP server. This would take some time. The best I can say at this stage is that I'll get to it as soon as I can, but I'd welcome other people taking it on instead.

Yes, you're probably right that XBMC plays the Live TV using RTSP. But the recorded shows are played by accessing the recorded file over SMB, requiring a share to be created on the MP server. It's not a problem, it just would be nice to avoid having the share.
