phenigma:
I will work with anyone that wishes to help improve the MythTV experience in LMCE to integrate their work. I'm sure that tschak would do the same. But atm I don't think any of the devs are using MythTV, so it will fall to those that are using it to work to improve that experience.

I can try to help test. If any devs can make use of a tuner card, I have one or two spare ones that I'll donate. I need cable card for my provider.

Has there been any more thought to improving MythTV functionality in LMCE? Recording and playing back content is a primary need for me. I could just go back to a dedicated MythTV system and ditch LMCE, but I really, really don't want to do that. LMCE is much more complete of a solution and the group of supporters is super friendly. I'm not a developer but will help out in any way that I can. Most of the challenges that I'm facing now a pretty simple and might really be user error. For example:
* There doesn't seem to be an option to sort by show by air date (kind of a big deal if you want to watch recordings in order)
* Deleting recordings doesn't seem to work 100% (I chose delete but they still show in my orbiters)
* Thumbnails are not showing with recorded videos (Might be an issue related just to me)
* Live TV option isn't well integrated (or anything playing through the MythTV interface for that matter)
Thanks,

So much work needs to be done to make MythTV work better in LMCE, in my opinion, a whole new Myth Player based on embedding the recently refactored libmyth from 0.25 forward would be the best choice, but it will take a considerable amount of engineering to make it work well.
Unfortunately, this isn't very high on my priority list, because MythTV just doesn't work very well anymore even by itself. The greedy, meiopic, pieces of shit who run the broadcast/cable/satellite TV industries have made it a living hell to bolt on your own PVR to their feeds. I can't use MythTV realistically at all for anything except for Antenna feeds. And just about everybody else in the US is in this boat. This pretty much kills it for me.

I can't agree more with the above. Fortunately, ever since you brought .25 into the mix, I can use my HDHR prime with cable card to record OTA channels.
What about the other bullets? Am I missing something that already exists that makes it easy to watch recordings (however they are obtained: MythTV, torrents, usenet) in chronological order and be able to delete watched ones from the orbiter with little effort? Right now I see all everything alphabetically.
