  • Numerous HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) playback fixes.
  • Add ability to override Bonjour's service name (-O BonjourHostname=mycomputer.)

Special Notices & Instructions

  • MySQL must have time zone tables added, see MySQL_Time_Zone_Tables.
  • If you need mythffplay, add --enable-sdl to your ./configure run [fb90f73].
  • User scripts/tools that depended on mysql.txt should be reviewed. Since MythTV no longer uses mysql.txt, its no longer updated. Scripts/tools could stop working.

  • HLS users must use --enable-libmp3lame when running configure [628ea66].
