The MythTV has released a new version .25 that includes an API for viewing and interacting with their software. Is there any channel dev that would be able to work on this? I am not a python programmer, in fact the only programming I can manage is VB and I unfortunately do not have time to pickup a new skill at the moment. ::Edit:: Another plugin / modification would be the hdhomerun plugin to support the prime. Thanks! -Patrick ---

Heh - I wish I could offer some help. I’m in the same boat. I finally got Myth up and running in OS X but it would be much nicer to only run Plex instead of Plex and the Myth front-end. ---

I would be very interested about the details of setting up and running of Myth - could you provide a primer with a detailed step-by-step procedure? Many thanks in advance roaring ---

I’m a programmer, don’t really know python but I’ve hacked a few scripts. I have a functioning plex and mythtv server and I’ve written a myth plug in using the new 0.25 API for the rygel DLNA server. I’m currently reading the plex channel dev guide. ---

What functionality does your plugin provide? Right now I’m using eyetv separately. Does the mythtv provide an interface to display guide data, schedule remote recordings etc? ---

It doesn’t do anything, I have done nought but start learning python and read the developer docs. I’ve suffered a PC failure, both hardware and software, so I have a lot of recovery to do first. My intention is to write a channel that simply provides access to your recordings and works well over the plex DLNA server. It will require myth 0.25 and up because I will be building it over the new myth services API. ---

@RoboJ1M: If you run into troubles/questions with the Python or Plex Channel Framework, feel free to ask for help. Either via forum post or PM. I do not have a MythTV setup but it sounds like a lot of people are interested in a working Plex integrated solution. ---

Will do! Got my new Internet connection, physically rebuilding the server tomorrow, software the day after and looking at pycharm as my ide. ---
