The 20100616 release of the 'bijou' respin of MythTV 0.23 is now available on atrpms-testing.
This release contains Jean-Yves Avenard's experimental audio filter to remove, or at least minimize, the vuvuzela horn that is annoying World Cup audiences worldwide. To enable it, choose "Enable vuvuzela filter" in Setup|General|Audio System. This creates a new OSD menu entry, "Toggle Vuvuzela Filter," which must be enabled for each recording playback. As I am not personally interested in the World Cup, I welcome reports on the filter's effectiveness. Jean-Yves has reported that the 0.23-fixes version of the filter occasionally produces "distorted sound," but in any case, the filter should not interfere with anyone who does not enable it during playback. This release also incorporates a small fix to mythcommflag (#8310) that is now in -fixes. Previous changelog for 'bijou' based on MythTV 0.23: * Adjustments to ThreadedFileWriter's buffers. Significantly improves recordings' integrity when destination disks are stressed, at the cost of increased RAM usage. (That said, on my frontend/backend I've recorded four HD streams at once without swapping.) My work. * Three Hauppauge HD-PVR-related improvements. Two add signal monitoring to HD-PVR tuning and also slightly benefit FireWire users (#6719, #6611), while the third fixes an issue with h.264 LiveTV (#6602). Users should, in theory, be able to get rid of any post-change sleeps they put into their HD-PVR channel-change scripts. Be warned that these patches may cause issues when using multirec with DVB (non-HDHomeRun) tuners. * Automatically scale number of user jobs based on system load (#2782). * Fix for Jumppoints not working when OSD is present (#7939). * Improved detection of audio tracks when transcoding (my variant on #1841). * Avoid scheduling back-to-back recordings on the same card even if on the same channel (#8429). Primarily of interest to multirec users. "Always" enables this feature, while "Different Channels" and "Never" are the preexisting options. -- Yeechang Lee <y...@pobox.com> | San Francisco CA US _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list atrpms-users@atrpms.net http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
