The solutions will all likely stem from the author, no doubt. At the same time, rather than clogging up his dev thread with the constant plea of "Why won't LiveTV work" and the response "Sheesh - read a bunch of pages back in this 31 page thread - it clearly says you have to adjust your buffers" People get intimidated by that sort of community. I mean, how far back should you read before you decide that your issue with the current code isn't likely to be covered in that thread? The other thing to realize is that we're not trying to shut down/replace other sources of information, just amalgamate xbox/mythtv information into one place. If that's not a useful service to you, I guess it's not the site for you, and that's fair. To say that it's therefore a bad idea isn't right though. > Really? A need that cant be met by the sourceforge site AND 2 seperate > python script forums, one for devs and one for support? A good search function will go a long ways to meeting those needs, and unless you're a sourceforge subscriber, you don't have access to a good search function there. The xboxmediacenter search just returns the thread, not which page, which makes a 31 page support thread pretty useless to lazy searchers. The spirit of the mythtv-xbox forums is to be a supplement/aggregation of knowledge on things xbox/mythtv related. Frankly, fragmentation is human nature. Why are there more than one TV news channel? Why is there more than one carbonated beverage? Different strokes for different folks. If people don't find it useful it will disappear. A lot of open source software is written to "scratch an itch" - the mythtv-xbox forums are there to scratch an itch too. If enough people have the same itch, it'll succeed. If not, it'll join the countless millions of webpages that nobody ever visits. I realize your problem is only with the xbmcmythtv section, but the same holds. There were at least four people who specifically requested an xbmcmythtv forum. It's clear to me that at least for those four people, the current resources aren't enough. I'd wager that there are a lot more "lurkers" out there that feel the same way. If not, it'll die a natural death. There's a lot of Xbox/MythTV information and knowledge out there, but finding it all can be a daunting task at best. We're just trying to simplify life for everyone. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
