MythUI Patch Competition and .24 Status Update
- We wanted to write to a brief announcement on the fast and furious progress
being made on MythTV 0.24, and also to recognize the winner of our MythUI
patch competition.
- After considering the submissions made during the 0.22-0.23 development
cycle, the winner of our MythUI patch competition is John Poet. John
submitted a massive rework of MythUI button lists that allow the themer
to size selected and unselected items differently, allowing the list to
dynamically resize and adjust. This cool feature is already used in many
new themes. John is the winner of a free year's membership to Schedules
Direct.
- Work continues on MythTV 0.24 at a blistering pace. Over the past several
months, features including the HD Audio branch, the MythUI OSD, a complete
rework of Program Info handling, unencrypted Blu-ray playback, mass metadata
updating in MythVideo, and the foundations of the MythMusic rewrite have been
added to trunk. .24 promises to be a great step forward and we are still on
track to bring it to you in the early fall.
- Congratulations to John and we will see you all again soon as we solicit
testers after the .24 feature freeze.
