It is pretty much feature complete as far as it goes. It doesn't add any user
visible features except for multiple audio (+,-), but it enables the future
addition of many features:
Caption selection
Language, hardware and disability based audio stream selection
Recording multiple streams on each frequency
Emergency Broadcast System audio during LiveTV
Guide Data without zap2it subscription and internet connection
Accurate Time without ntp and internet connection
yadda, yadda
Anyway, I need people to test it now because I plan to start submitting it in
small chunks for inclusion in MythTV. Obviously report any core dumps. But also
any wacky behaviour, accompanied with logs from front and backends (with
--verbose record,playback) and description of what you were doing.
It is a fairly large change so I don't want to build on it until it becomes
part of MythTV. And it won't become part of Myth without testing.
The patches that need applying are:
http://www.mrl.nyu.edu/~danielk/mythtv/mpeg-dynamic-pmt-v1.tbz
http://www.mrl.nyu.edu/~danielk/mythtv/hdtv-recorder-v26.tbz
The procedure is:
# cd mythtv
# tar xvfj mpeg-dynamic-pmt-v1.tbz
# cat dtk-patches/mpeg-dynamic-pmt-v1.patch | patch -p0
# tar xvfj hdtv-recorder-v26.tbz
# cat dtk-patches/hdtv-recorder-v26.patch | patch -p0
# cp dtk-patches/*.{cpp,h} libs/libmythtv/
# make -k ; make
I'm assuming settings.pro is set up properly for you of course.
