Introduction
The Notification Center is a new interface designed to provide users with various information related to the state of MythTV. Error messages will now appear in the Notification Center.
AirPlay will use the Notification Center to display connection status, information about the song being played, including album artwork.
A notification can be dismissed by pressing escape (or exit).

Developer API
There are several APIs available for programmers to make full use of the Notification Center.
A notification is made of three main components.
- title
- origin
- description
A notification can have four types:
- normal
- error
- warning
- check
Normal type notification can also have these extra components set:
- image
- progress (floating point value between 0 and 1)
- extra text
- progress text
All components are optional; however, we strongly recommend to always have a title and an origin. Extra text and progress text are only displayed if a progress bar is set. The progress bar will appear if progress is given a value between 0 and 1. A negative value indicates that no progress bar is to be displayed.
A notification can be made to be displayed in full screen.
Additionally there are 4 types of notification
