I've been running the October 29, 2009 MVP dongle image, with no unusual problems. So, I took a walk on the wild side ... My Myth backend was running Mandriva 2009.1/mythtv-0.21. I upgraded to Mandriva 2010, added the PLF repositories, and upgraded the mythtv to 0.22. Results: some previously-recorded shows make the MVP soft-boot. Others play fine, but commercial skip makes the MVP soft-boot. For recordings made *since* the upgrade, commercial skip appears to be working just fine. The sample of new recordings is still pretty small. I just tried Live TV on it, but that may have made my mythbackend crash! I've restarted it, but I'll have to wait until after The Daily Show/Colbert is over before another LiveTV attempt, or burn hubby points. -- Clay Haapala <[email protected]> GPG key 8DB9110D "When in doubt, add more garlic" -- sign in the Harbor View Cafe, Pepin, WI ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
