Hi Iridum

Thanks for the reply. The xbmc plugin for mythtv (libcmyth) is up to version 1.8.1 I think, but the one included is 1.6.7. The v0.24 you refer to sounds more like the mythtv backend, but that is stable at 0.25 now, and possibly even 0.26 (or that could be devel).

v1.6.7 has lots of issues for me and the latest one fixes pretty much all of them :-)

I have now solved it. I have compiled gotham xbmc on top of xbian with v1.8.1 of xbmc-pvr-addons and all my issues have gone - yay. Plus, things I didn't expect to be fixed (eg fast forward and rewind) now work.

Now, to share with others, I need to understand btrfs a bit more.

All of my work was done on a 16GB sdcard, so if I take a clone of the card using dd, it's a 16gb image - When probably less than 1GB has been used.

Does anyone know how I can shrink a 16GB sdcard image containing 2 partitions (1 x fat, 1 x btrfs), the btrfs one being the one that needs most shrinkage !

I have found a "btrfs filesystem show" command but it doesn't appear to work when I mount the image as loopback device on an ubuntu system. The loopback device points to the disk image and not the specific btrfs partition.

Any ideas anyone ?

Thanks

Once I can shrink it, I can share it. But it would need to come with warnings that xbian updates will more than likely overwrite this new compiled version and break it.
