Yes it is a strange attitude for an open source project.

They have somewhat ghettoised themselves with various features such as
storage groups, myth protocol, etc.

Great within the mythtv closed shop, but hard to get onto other
platforms. The code appears to be the documentation, and it's
offputting to devs.

A fuse driver for storage groups would be nice, as would a simple
explanation of myth protocol.

I mean even windows media centre seems to have better PVR on XBMC than myth.

Then again XBMC devs can be the same. One feature I love about mythtv
is the speeded up video with non chipmunk audio. However XBMC devs are
simply disinterested.
