<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have done both of what has been suggested here:<br></div><div>1) Use the MythTV Plex Channel. Works great, the metadata is all present but it seems a bit slow to navigate since you have to hop through Plex -> mythTV Services API all the time.<br></div><div>2) Use mythlink.py to put user friendly names of my recordings in a special 'mythTV TV Shows' library. This is quicker to navigate but you don't get the same metadata since Australian listings don't include season numbers correctly, etc.<br><br></div><div>I have thought about a third option, creating a special mythTV 'parser' that Plex can use. This would mean you would have a 'mythTV TV Shows' library that just references your recordings storage group and then Plex uses the new parser to lookup the meta-data from the Services API. Best of both worlds.<br><br></div><div>My three annoyances with any of these solutions:<br></div><div>1) You can't watch in progress recordings.<br></div><div>2) You can't watch liveTV (though I use a separate Plex Channel for this)<br></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>What Plex Channel do you use for LiveTV?</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>3) Seeking within recordings seems to be slower than native mythTV which is so quick it has spoilt us all. <br><br></div><div>Cheers,<br>Whytey<br></div></div><br></div></div>
