A personal video recorder application (client and server)
MythTV implements the following PVR features, and more, with a
unified graphical interface:
- Basic 'live-tv' functionality. Pause/Fast Forward/Rewind "live" TV.
- Video compression using RTjpeg or MPEG-4
- Program listing retrieval using XMLTV
- Themable, semi-transparent on-screen display
- Electronic program guide
- Scheduled recording of TV programs
- Resolution of conflicts between scheduled recordings
- Basic video editing
This package will install a complete MythTV client/server environment on a
single system. If you are intended on using this as your only MythTV machine,
and this machine is already configured as a desktop, this package will get you
up and running switfly.
If you are intended on installing this on a standalone/non-desktop machine,
you should look into the metapackages available:
mythtv-backend-master (backend with a local database)
mythtv-backend (backend needing a remote database)

mythtv (0.22.0+fixes22594-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* New upstream snapshot.
- This should be the final one for Karmic.
- Unfortunately, this will be a commit or two shy of the actual
0.22 release.
- Fixes upgrade scenarios from 0.21 where themes that previously
existed are now gone.
* debian/patches/31_vdpau_profiles.dpatch:
- Backport of trunk 22466 to add VDPAU profiles for 0.22 by default.
* debian/mythtv-backend.upstart:
- Stop on 016 rather than on "starting shutdown".
Prevents issues with the backend respawning during reboot.
* debian/dialog.sh:
- Use kdesudo rather than kdesu. (LP: #458177)
* debian/source_mythtv.py:
- Don't grab jamu or hardware logs. Launchpad is timing out because
actual crashes are too big when uploaded, so we'll try to get these
pieces on a case by case basis instead.

mythtv: "In dialog_functions.sh SU_TYPE=kdesu must be SU_TYPE=kdesudo for a KDE_FULL_SESSION"
Version: 0.22.0~zrc1-0ubuntu1
2009-10-15 08:01:32 UTC
mythtv (0.22.0~zrc1-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* Upstream 0.22 rc1 snapshot.
- Had to name the version funny because we've done builds with trunk in
the name and trunk is greater than rc. (zrc1 rather than rc1)
* Legacy init script needs different arguments. Only affects
Jaunty & earlier builds. (LP: #450278)

Mythbuntu: "ARGS line in /etc/defaults/mythbackend causes init script to hang"
Version: 0.22.0~trunk22413-0ubuntu1

mythtv (0.22.0~trunk22413-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
[ Gary Butters ]
* debian/control:
- Depends on wmctrl
* Add support to use wmctrl to bring mythfrontend to the foreground
if already running. (LP: #352077)
[ Mario Limonciello ]
* New upstream snapshot (r22413)
* Add a bug_pattern_base to the mythbuntu crashdb.
* Fix mythbuntu crashdb to refer to project not product.
* Simplify the apport hook so that we can catch on any set of non
distro packages.
* debian/rules:
- Make *sure* /etc/default/mythtv-backend is getting installed.
It seems that dh_installinit didn't want to install it when we use upstart.

[ Mario Limonciello ]
* New upstream checkout (r22359)
- Themes have been shuffled around a bunch.
- Fixes transcode arguments (LP: #429089)
* debian/control:
- Conflicts and replaces for themes that are now part of this package
* debian/mythtv-setup.desktop:

times.
* debian/rules:
- Remove references to firewire_tester. We're not building it.
* Simplify upstart script a bit.
* Drop old logic for checking that ~mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt exists, and move
it into the postinst.
* Ship a mythbuntu crashdb for apport to catch crashes and submit against the
mythbuntu project.
* Add an apport hook for mythtv packages.
- PPA builds will be directed at launchpad.net/mythbuntu

[ Dave Walker ]

mythtv (0.22.0~trunk22304-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* New upstream checkout (r22304)
- Fixes crash during image loading of mythfrontend (LP: #445173)
- Disables pulseaudio harder, fixing sound playback when it's installed.
(LP: #436792)
* debian/mythtv_0.22.0.sql:
- Set Internal as the default player across the board. Looks like some
areas were previously missed. This only affects new installs.
(LP: #445984)
* debian/patches/10_mythfilldatabase_log.dpatch:
- Update to actually log to a file not a directory.
* debian/patches:
- Drop any patches that weren't actually being applied.
* Set default theme to Mythbuntu rather than Mythbuntu-9.10 since upstream
accepted it without a version number applied.
* debian/mythtv-database.{postinst,config}:
- Use the debian system maintainer account to set things up if possible.
- Drop broken logic for trying to detect when slow writes are needed.
