</div></div>I have a HDHomerun with MythTV 0.21 (last stable from JYAs repo). I've<br>
tried using XBMC from the PPA repositories as well as compiled from<br>
source but have not had success with it so far. I was actually going to<br>
post on here or the XBMC mailing list once I had done some more<br>
investigation into what the issues with it are. So maybe someone would<br>
like to outline how they configured XBMC?<br>
<br>
Ignoring the lack of audio on your frontend does everything else seem to<br>
function correctly with mythfrontend?<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>Happy to help with the XBMC stuff off-line if you want, using both the built in support and the mythbox script mostly because of recent issues, sometimes one will work better than the other.<br>
<br>As for using mythfrontend, I just tried again to get audio working without success and it seems to be having an effect on video playback as it is quite jerky. I have it set to make use of the VDAPU libraries and it seems to be doing that as CPU utilisation is low. Will take another look at this when back from holiday.<br>
