Mythtv has announced version 0.22 release candidate 1 is now available. Hopefully all goes well and a stable 0.22 will come out shortly.
The release notes are here.

You could try it. Just keep in mind the following points:I am thinking of installing MythTV to have a look. I have recently installed Linux Mint 8 on a PC ...
Yes it is.Roger: is your MytvTV box based on Mythbuntu-9.10?
If you have the time, that would be great! It is getting very frustrating not having a remote. I keep finding myself looking at my JP1 remote and imagining what buttons would be assigned to what features. Otherwise we can wait until I get a chance to drop by with my Myth box.I ask, because I've now got a development system here with that release, so I suppose I could use that update the fix_hauppauge scripts to work better with 9.10.
But only if it's useful to someone. I don't need the scripts here.
If you have wifi available in the house, then I can loan you a wifi-to-ethernet bridge device, that'll connect things up until you run cat5 someday. It simply plugs into the ethernet port of your MythTV box, and connects to your wifi.roger1818 said:I haven't had a chance to drag a network drop into my living room so I can't use guide data and have to do manual records instead. I hope to get that fixed soon though.
Thanks! If I don't have it dragged in by the time I see you, I may take you up on your kind offer. My only hesitation is band-aid solutions like this often delay the permanent solution. However, it would let me wait until my parents come to visit next month (an extra pair of hands is always useful for a job like this).If you have wifi available in the house, then I can loan you a wifi-to-ethernet bridge device, that'll connect things up until you run cat5 someday.
I'm using EXT3 for / and JFS for /mythtv, just because EXT4 was still "experimental" and my MBE isn't on a UPS. (The lights went out earlier this week, no damage done.)I might need to rethink my use of EXT4 for the storage partitions on my mythbackend after all:http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzk0OA
I've tried twice now with that. No dice.3) Install 10.04 alpha. Not sure how stable that would be.
That would be excellent. Thanks for helping out, and thanks to Roger1818 for being the guinea pigRoger1818 also uses 32-bit Mythbuntu, same as you, so we'll work out a nice installable package solution here, and then pass it along to you, and to anyone else who needs it (including another buddy of mine).
Did you ever find the cause if this problem? Sorry if I missed the answer. I tend not to use the ATSC tuner much since my box often stutters when playing HD programming (not a huge problem as I don't have an HDTV yet). I am playing with transcoding HD programs to SD, but that means I have to wait before watching the program. Once I upgrade my PC, I hope to use the ATSC tuner more.MythTV picked the HVR-1600 for both the analog and digital recordings of the festivities. This was the first time ever here that MythTV tried to start both an analog and a digital recording at exactly the same time on the same HVR-1600 card.
The kernel cx18 chipset driver crapped out with a single, unhelpful log message...
kernel: cx18-0: Unable to find blank work order form to schedule incoming mailbox command processing
...and neither analog nor digital was recorded successfully.
I'm using the cx18 driver that is stock in the 2.6.33 Linux kernel, so it is newer than what Mythbuntu is/will-be shipping with.Interesting. Are you using the latest cx18 driver, or the one that ships with Mythbuntu.
To bad we didn't document which config files needed to be edited and which lines need to be disabled to make it easier for others to follow in our footsteps.But there were several build errors -- Mythbuntu's fault, not the drivers -- and we had to hand edit the config files to work around those.
One thing though, we weren't able to get the auto-repeat to work well. I may try and play with this some more sometime to see if I can get it working better.Once we got it to build, the make install and reboot worked just fine. We then ran my enable_hauppauge_remote.sh script, and had a working remote control.
Lets hope my hard drive lasts until then. Once Mythbuntu-10.4 is available, I hope to upgrade my hard drive or maybe even my entire system.I expect this all to just go away with the upcoming Mythbuntu-10.4 release (April 2010), which is based on the 2.6.32 Linux kernel, with a working ir-kbd-i2c driver included by default. The enable_hauppauge_remote.sh script will still be needed, but that's a simple thing to tack on.
