- Just a quick update to let you all know that development work on 0.22 is still progressing smoothly. We appreciate your patience while we are working through some of the more tedious parts of this upcoming release.
- In other news, Schedules Direct is still looking for input from users from outside of the US and Canada. We know that there are a lot of MythTV users abroad, and it would really help them out if you would head over there and fill out the survey that they've posted.
- Schedules Direct is also looking for volunteer developers to help design and implement a new application to deliver guide data themselves (rather than rely on TMS servers), which they expect to serve to 20,000 or more members daily over the next few years. They have been a big help to the MythTV community, and could really use some help. If you have experience with Perl, PHP, and/or MySQL, please take a look at their forum post for information about applying to help.
MythTV, Open Source DVR
MythTV is a Free Open Source digital video recorder (DVR) project distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL. It has been under heavy development since 2002, and now contains most features one would expect from a good DVR (and many new ones that you soon won't be able to live without).
If you are interested in learning more about MythTV (or just want to check out some screenshots), please take a look at MythTV In Detail.
Latest MythTV News
Update and a request to international MythTV users
New Website!
- After many years running under PHP-Nuke, MythTV.org is now proudly running its own customized website application, which we hope will be faster and more secure than the old site. Plus, we think it looks a whole lot better than the old site.
- The new website has a lot of new features including an RSS/Atom feed, the digg links to the right, and an all new "MythTV in Detail" section, so please feel free to poke around and explore the new layout. It's also a lot easier for us to maintain, update, and improve, so we hope to be able to provide more frequent updates than before, too.
- If you get a chance, drop by #mythtv-users on irc.freenode.net and
thank designer Stuart Morgan
(gbee) and coder Chris Petersen
(xris) for all of the great work they put into setting up the new site.
- On a side note, Schedules Direct is looking for information about users from outside of the US and Canada. We know that there are a lot of MythTV users abroad, and it would really help them out if you would head over there and fill out the survey that they've posted.
MythTV 0.21
- New release! It's been quite a while, so there's lots of new stuff. Notably: autodiscovery (less manual configuration of new frontends), storage groups (no need for LVM/etc), support for multiple recordings on one DVB/ATSC multiplex, a couple new plugins, some new deinterlacing/video display options, and many, many other things.
- The Release notes page in the wiki has the list of what's changed, but it's currently a couple thousand checkins out of date.
- Standard release info:
- Grab the release from the download section and please at least try to read the docs before asking questions.
- The binary packages should hopefully be updated to 0.21 soon.
- See this links section for a list of linux distributions based around MythTV.
