This is probably a stupid noob question, but here goes. I am running mythtv as my backend on a Centos 6.4 X86_64 host. I run XBMC 12.2 Frodo with PVR cmyth 1.6.9 addon as the frontend on my Windows XP and Windows 7 frontends. I cannot compile Frodo on Centos use to C++ version issues and I've never built XBMC on Windows if that is even possible. I am seeing the recordings don't update without reboot issue on my Frodo-12.2 frontends. How do I file a bug and request an update for the Windows version of XBMC? Or can I compile the cmyth patch on Windows?

Assumming your post suggests I build the add-on on windows and install it, I've tried that approach and it results in an unknown error when I try and repalce 1.6.9 with 1.8.11 which is what results from following the url nickr provided. I have yet to find the log XBMC says contains more details. Guess I'll keep piddling around and get it sooner or later. Too Bad XBMC doesn't have an update addon feature.

1.8.x is Gotham only. You need to checkout the frodo branch before compiling.
git checkout frodo
In the directory where you are compiling, after the git clone command from the wiki entry.

I'll give the checkout frodo a try tomorrow. I also found a nightly builds download of full xbmc, but that fails to load and run the cmyth plugin just like when I add the gotham cmyth to frodo. Oh well . Lots to learn and so much of it because it fails to be common sense.

I'm not sure why the windows version lags behind the others... my windows laptop is only at 1.6.5-6(?) while my linux machines are at a higher version, versions with this fix included.

Makes me wonder if the PVR addons are auto updated like other addons...
Still I'm pretty sure 1.6.10 is the stable version for Linux, which from memory is the version with this fix.

well I started fresh and followed the wiki steps again {http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR/Backend/MythTV/BuildFromSource#Build_MythTV_addon_on_Windows} adding the git checkout frodo step. And things worked this time. Turns out that I had downloaded the build deps for a full xbmc build, but not for the add on sources. It now builds as 1.6.11 despite changelog stopping at 1.6.10. And it works solving the recordings not updating issue.

well maybe I spoke a little too soon. The myth addon compiled on a windows 7 system works when added to xbmc on a windows 7 system, but an unknow error occurs when you try and use it on an XP machine.

Funny that, they are different OSes. Now compile it on the XP machine and see how you go.

OK the second build attempt of building - frodo on xp works ; but it gives me pvr.cmyth.mythtv 1.6.9 not 1.6.10 so I am still at a deadend where I cannot build or isntalling a working 1.6.10 on xp. But I've learned a lot.

Are you using the same source code on XP as you used on W7?
