<div dir="ltr">When I was running XBMC Gotham Beta 1, I was able to get commercial skip to work with the later PVR-CMyth plugin (or whatever it is called). I didn't want to like XBMC, but it's really a great piece of software. Lots of plugins, DLNA, prettiness. Now that it can do commercial skipping, it can do nearly everything that MythFrontEnd can do, and some things it can't*.<div>
<br></div><div>*I'm sure there's something I'm missing here. I know that there are many people that are contributing patches/new features to MythFE. Specifically, in HD audio and framerate support. I only have my current perception to go from. I can see that BluRay ISOs/rips will change the framerate on my TV to 24 (23.9-yadda) and my receiver sees the HD audio bit streams correctly, just as in MythFE. However, I think that PiP is not currently working on XBMC 12.3. PiP is a great feature, and MythFE does that well.</div>

</div>I'm talking about porting the Mythbuntu theme to XBMC. Now that XBMC<br>
13 is out, and commercial skipping should work (I think), XBMC might<br>
fit most of my needs for a frontend (granted I do all of my scheduling<br>
from mythweb right now).<br>
<br>
For packaging, I'm talking about the MythTV PVR plugin. Now that XBMC<br>
13 is released it works with MythTV 0.27 again, but it only supported<br>
0.26 until just recently. I'd be looking at the possibility of<br>
building and packaging that plugin so it works with the current<br>
version of XBMC (eg. when the plugin gets support for 0.28, we'd have<br>
a XBMC 13 plugin that would work with 0.28). Note though that may not<br>
be possible. I haven't looked at how that all works yet, so it's<br>
possible that the plugins can't be built for other versions of XBMC.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I've been using XBMC because I liked the way it also connected to Plex. However xbmc will not become a replacement for mythfrontend for me mainly because of 2 things:</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">1. When watching live tv on mythfrontend I can press the record button, and the current show / film / whatever will be recorded untill it ends. In XBMC I get 2 hours of recording. Not exactly the way I want it.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">2. In Sweden we have a couple of channels that are sending captions in DVB - format. These are recognized by mythfrontend perfectly, however I can't get them to display in XBMC. I have tried to get help regarding this on the forums, but it looks like nobody knows anything about this.</div>
