I run my mythbackend on Linux with an HDHomerun, but also have an Xfinity box for their streams. I would also like Myth to integrate the Xfinity streams.
Can you elaborate on what your doing?

<p>I have a ceton with cablecard for my MythTV recordings. I am
developing an alternative that does not need a cable card, for
when the ceton breaks or Comcast stops supplying cable cards.<br>

<p>I am using an Amazon Fire Stick 4K with the xfinity stream app
installed. That gives the ability to watch all your channels
through the fire stick 4K, as if it was an xfinity box. Using an
HDMI capture device I can record channels from the Fire Stick. It
should be possible to do the same with an XFinity box, just more
expensive, you have to pay rental for the box.</p>
<p>The difficult part is getting the xfinity stream app to tune the
correct channel with adb commands. I have that working quite well
now.</p>
<p>I also have a script that can record all of your xfinity cloud
dvr recordings to files that can be watched with MythTV, also
using the fire stick 4k.<br>
