The 0.27 release encompasses development revisions from [178ea5aa] though [TBD].
This update is based on commits up to: [TBD] dated TBD
and mythweb [TBD] dated TBD.
Note: After v0.27-pre-86, git and therefore mythbackend --version are reporting v0.26, not v0.27. This was cared for with a new tag v0.27-pre2 on 30 Nov 2012.
Note: As of 6/13/13, mythtranscode --hls --hlsstream will not work on HD recordings. This is likely to affect 3rd party clients that use the Services API for video playback.
Key New Features
Major Changes
- Remove the
Timeslot and Weekslot recording rule types. Users of these types should see [a1f9793] for alternatives.
- Remove the
Channel Record recording rule type. Add a This channel filter to maintain the that functionality. Automatically convert existing Channel Record rules to All Record rules with the This channel filter enabled. Full details of this and the next two 'sub bullets' at: [9497ba1], [030ba69]
- Add a dialog to offer common actions instead of immediately entering the schedule editor when SELECT is pressed on a non-scheduled program.
- Change the behavior when RECORD is pressed in the EPG and elsewhere.
- Provide accurate position/duration/seeking with non-constant frame rates. Note that to get the benefit of these changes for preexisting recordings, it may be necessary to run "mythcommflag --rebuild" on affected recordings. [49dbed5] #10104
- Remove the AutoRecPriority feature. [9aaed0b]
- Remove redundant "All Programs - " text in Watch Recordings screen. [ba2c783]
- Improve the group filter display on the Watch Recordings screen. [7c7b44a]
- Default to local time for
mythshutdown --setwakeup , use --utc if required. [ef7810c]
- As promised in the 0.26 Release Notes, the legacy CEA-608 teletext caption support has been removed. #10786 [4f98a09]
- The Set Recording Priorities screen has been removed (use the "Manage Recording Rules" screen.) [f8cb433], [a2ccb9f]
- The Reschedule higher priorities setting has been removed. The scheduler now always does this. [6eaa373]
- Use recording rule priority as the primary scheduling priority. [5587501]
- The Delete Recordings screen has been removed. [7349a86]
- Change the ADJUSTSTRETCH action to also support toggling. [b79da45]
- In mythtv-setup/Capture cards, some Card type: names have been changed/corrected. The list was also reordered. [536b7c1]

Special Notices & Instructions
