No. I have never, with either myth or cmyth, had all of these channels on my XBMC EPG:
• If a channel is not multiplexed into several channels( i.e 4-1, 5-1, 7-1, etc) it does appear in the XBMC EPG;
• If a channel is multiplexed into several channels (like 2-1,2-2, 2-3) only one of the multiplexed subchannels appears in the XBMC EPG. Please see chart below:

Code:

|        1 | 2_1     | WGRZ-HD  |———|
|        1 | 2_2     | WGRZ-WN  |———|———Only one of these three appears in EPG

I have been using XBMC with the cmyth plugin since Frodo.

All of the channels have, however, always appeared in the XBMC Channel List (as opposed to the EPG), but only displaying the atsc_major_chan.

I am using Windows Desktop version (don't know if it makes any difference) and the pvr.mythtv addon builds ok.

Note the pvr.mythtv addon needs updating, Kodi /XBMC changed addon API version a few days ago so the latest ALPHA5 builds are not compatible.

ALPHA 5 Git 20141007- e0db1d8 works ok.

1) I installed VS 2013 Express,
2) downloaded the mythtv addons from the master branch in zip format from here:
https://github.com/janbar/xbmc-pvr-addons
3) extracted the zip
4) downloaded dependencies using the bat file
5) opened solution in VS

However, when I try to build, it gives me a ton of these build errors:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um\winsock2.h(882): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'qos.h': No such file or directory

I've done some pretty exhaustive searches to try to resolve the issue, but I really can't find anything applicable.

Any clues on what I need to do to get this to work?

Weird. I sugger to generate only pvr.mythtv. Also i never bold all the solution ! Like Mike i use Windows Desktop only. And as Mike said we wait the merge for the GUI version update. So for now it is usable with ALPHA 5 Git 20141007- e0db1d8.

EDIT: I merged the update for GUI version. Master branch is uptodate.

I'm not sure what you are asking. The output (in format "xxx_y " is from a sql query on the backend. The channels display the same way in mythweb and in the channel editor in mythbackend.

So as nickr said, the root cause is backend channel number are not as integer number. Here they contain alpha-numeric characters breaking the cast to the XBMC channel number.
Since Helix the subChannel number exists and could be help to resolve this case. But now for Gotham the only way is to miss the separator "_" or "." assuming all channels use ATSC number. If not we will have always conflict between ATSC channel (2_1) and others (21).

This is the raw file as stored by mythtv.

Many thanks !

Fixed. I pushed the commit for master and gotham branches. Tomorrow ubuntu-ppa will be up to date.

Thanks

I pushed a commit to concat major and minor parts for Gotham: 2_1 => 21 or 2.3 => 23
I pushed a commit to transfer sub channel number for Helix: 2_1 => 2.1 or 2.3 => 2.3

Quote:that may be a problem. I think there is still some ntsc analog broadcasting in the U.S. , so you might still have places where there are conflicting numbers (like 2_1 and 21 as you described below.)

I am not sure if that is 100% correct. As I indicated, the channel list does show all of the channels. I will send you a screenshot later so you can see what I mean. Perhaps the channel list, as opposed to the EPG, just truncates and does not merge the channel numbers.

Thank you janbar, you're a life saver!

Hi, now the latest Helix build contains previous release (1.9.20). Count every months the repos is updated. If you can build yourself you will have lastest. Also I provide the gotham package for ubuntu on my ppa. Else making addon is easy with linux. What is your platform ?
