The 20120323 release of the 'bijou' respin of MythTV 0.24.2, based on ATrpms r280, is now available on atrpms-testing.
bijou is an enhanced version of MythTV with useful fixes and improvements. The database is never changed so users can always move freely between the bijou and stock versions. New changes: * Significantly speeds up the loading of Watch Recordings. On my frontend/backend, I have seen the load time with 1,500 recordings go from 6 to 3 seconds. (#10161) * The return of a fix for Jumppoints not working when OSD is present (#7939). Warning: With the patch, using jumppoints while in cutpoint editing mode may crash the frontend. Please report on your experience. * Support for MPEG-4 channels over FireWire (#10080). Previous changelog for Bijou: * Ron Frazier's support for the Ceton InfiniTV 4 PCI (and possibly USB; untested)-based CableCARD tuner. More information is at <URL:http://mythtvblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/ceton-inifinitv-4-in-mythtv-024-part-2.html>. As Ron's work has also been added to master, bijou users using the Ceton should be able to upgrade to the forthcoming 0.25 without having to delete and readd the tuner in mythtv-setup. * 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 2GB RAM frontend/backend I've recorded four HD streams at once without swapping.) * Enhancements for default-wide metatheme (inherited by Mythbuntu and others). Changes include 6 channels on guide grid, more room for wider dates, original air dates everywhere, years and stars next to movie titles, and more. * Lengthen socket timeout from default 7 seconds to 20 seconds, which helps when starting playback with disk/CPU load. As always, please report any issues to atrpms-users. _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list atrpms-users@atrpms.net http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
