After installing MythTV 0.22 on a new CentOS 5.4 build, I came across a few issues that were not covered in either this CentOS page nor the Fedora page:
 +
 +
- Lirc installed via yum would not work for my MCE Remote.
 +
- After building Lirc manually, it would not work in MythTV until I changed the LircSocket setting from /var/run/lirc/lircd to /dev/lircd (within the frontend settings).
 +
- The sound could not be adjusted until I changed the mixer device within the frontend settings.
 +
 +
These may sound like generic problems, but I used this same hardware for my Fedora 6 / MythTV 0.21 installation, without getting these issues, making me think it is a CentOS thing (I could be wrong).

Should these tips go in here?

p41, please don't rewrite this page completely. There is not need to duplicate the entire install process when its nearly identical to fedora. I wrote this page to point out the differences between Fedora and Cent/EL. ~mitchell2345

Broken links?

Can't find http://dl.atrpms.net/all/atrpms-package-config-119-2.el5.i386.rpm

Perhaps the repository has changed the naming conventions, the closest I could find was

http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-x86_64/atrpms/stable/atrpms-package-config-120-3.el5.x86_64.rpm

Likewise

http://dl.atrpms.net/all/atrpms-package-config-119-2.el5.x86_64.rpm

Can someone please clarify?

Yup, changed links. i updated with new links --Mitchell 15:33, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
