MythTV

Although we may not be known for using a witty naming scheme, and the version number only increments itself by a single "hundredth" every major release, we're extremely proud to announce the immediate release of what we loving refer to as - "0.25"! ... [More] It's been 516 days (that's 1 year, 4 months, 30 days) since our last major release, so it goes without saying that a significant amount of work has made its way in to this current release with over 5200 commits making up 0.25. MythTV version 0.25 includes several significant new features. A few key items to point out - new video acceleration capabilities such as VAAPI and DirectX Video Acceleration 2; expanded and improved audio capabilities including E-AC3, TrueHD, and DTS-HD support; Control your TV and other AV components via CEC (Consumer Electronics Control); enhanced and integrated metadata management capabilities for recordings and videos, and a fully functional API for third-party apps to build upon that can interact with both the frontend and backend - including a HTTP Live Streaming capabilities for delivering video content, in real-time, via the API. Also noteworthy - MythMusic has been completely re-written and MythVideo is now directly integrated rather than being distributed as a separate plugin. Additionally, MythThemes is no longer maintained as a separate repository – all themes, including third party themes, can now be downloaded directly from the frontend theme chooser. To see a full list of the "user-impacting" additions, changes, and bug-fixes that make up this release, please take a look at the release notes on the wiki. You can download the tarballs now: MythTV (MD5SUM e49c81de40e279c83dcb1b2aa9a45748) MythPlugins (MD5SUM b3f2768372a38e92ca94841519daa05e) Tarballs of all MythTV releases, past and present, are available on the FTP server, or you can check the code out from git.

The release of 0.25 has been delayed slightly by some bugs in the areas of LiveTV and recording from ivtv that we needed just a little more time to finish fixing and testing. We are now targeting Apr 9, 2012 failing any more last minute nasty bugs cropping up.

0.25-rc has been released, and our target for full release is Apr 2, 2012

At long last, we are releasing 0.25-beta. This is the first stage towards a full release of 0.25 (with a target date of April 2). There have been many changes made since the 0.24 releases. For a list of changes, see the Release Notes.

0.24.2, the second release from the stable branch is now available. For a list of fixes made since 0.24.2 see the Release Notes.

We've just made our first point release from the 0.24 stable branch which includes all the fixes which have been backported to 0.24 since it was first released in November 2010. Details of the changes since 0.24 can be found in the Release Notes. I'd ... [More] like to thank everyone who contributed to this release including those providing detailed bug reports and Matt S. for his great work on the release notes. This time we are not releasing an updated themes tarball. 0.24.1 includes a fully functional theme downloader within the frontend which allows browsing, downloading and installation of all official and most unofficial themes from a remote server. You should use this feature to obtain updates for your preferred theme from now on. We'd advise all users currently running 0.24.0 to upgrade, those using the 0.24-fixes branch should already have these changes. If you are using packages and you are in any doubt then please ask the package maintainers which version they are providing. Work on 0.25 is progressing. We will update you on the changes you can expect and a possible release date in due course. [Less]

We finished the first phase our server migration tonight by moving web and mail services to their temporary home. Expect there to be some delays and slowness in email while DNS and mail servers catch up, especially if you get your email from ... [More] Yahoo, AT&T, or AOL. If you are experiencing any lingering issues by Monday, please speak with xris or beirdo in #mythtv on irc.freenode.net. Also, it appears that something about the new server has confused our RSS feed and made it resend everything. We apologize for the feed spam this has caused. [Less]
