	The pvrtesting2 branch is not up-to-date with trunk, so the myth:// protocol will not work with Myth 0.24. There are no plans to keep the pvrtesting2 branch up-to-date with trunk. The point of the branch is to flesh out the PVR Addons and that's enough work without having to keep it up-to-date with trunk. The PVR related changes will then get moved into trunk after the Dharma release.		The pvrtesting2 branch is not up-to-date with trunk, so the myth:// protocol will not work with Myth 0.24.

	Any subclass of '''MythXmlReponse''' can have getter methods to parse out what is needed of the XML data from the response into a suitable format. E.g. int '''XYZResponse::GetNumberOfChannels()'''.

	== MythTV PVR Addon Agnostic Tasks ==		=== MythTV PVR Addon Agnostic Tasks ===

	* DONE: Review the mythtv trunk codebase to see what events get fired to client and compare with what libcmyth currently understands and what XBMC does something with. The list of events that libcmyth deals with is in xbmc/lib/cmyth/libcmyth/event.c. The list of what XBMC does with them is in xbmc/FileSystem/CMythSession.cpp in the Process() method. Missing event handling is probably what is causing some issues with LiveTV playback.

	* Bug fix so all the tuners are enumerated when looking for LiveTV. Involves checking to see if the GET_FREE_RECORDER_LIST Myth Protocol query has been implemented in libcmyth or not. The folk developing mythroku may have already done. See trac ticket for detail. http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/4771.
