Key New Features

MythMusic Radio Streaming

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 schedular now always does this. [6eaa373]
  • Use recording rule priority as the primary scheduling priority. [5587501]
  • Some Capture Card names have been changed/corrected. The list was also reordered. [536b7c1]

Special Notices & Instructions

  • As always, backup your database before upgrading, see this.
  • mythshutdown's default logging has changed. Most users will find (for example) that mythshutdown --check will now tell them exactly what they need. For full log output, mythshutdown --check --verbose general --loglevel info is required. [f070528]
  • Users of the Recording Rules Services API should take note that the version has changed from 1.10 to 1.11 and treat the differences in AddRecordSchedule and GetRecordSchedule. Also, UpdateRecordSchedule was added. Details are here: [2865936]
