hugovangalen 🤖 🕹️ 😼<p>Upgrading the multimedia PC to a more recent development version of <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/MythTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MythTV</span></a>...</p>
Andrew<p>Fixed the guide data. Found a few other little things to fix, now all done.</p><p>New release of myhtv-status for <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/MythTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MythTV</span></a> cut, published and uploaded to <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a>.</p>
Andrew<p>I spotted today that my <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/mythtv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythtv</span></a>-status package was failing to build from source in <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a>. This has caused me to spend some time finishing off a major change to how it is installed, split out the Debian packaging to a different repo (using git-buildpackage).</p><p>While having upstream (me) and Debian (also me) code in different repositories will cause over head (for me), it is probably better in general.</p><p>Probably tomorrow I'll release the tarball, .deb and upload the new packaging repo to Salsa.</p>
Fish Id Wardrobe<p>I don't know if it's <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> 11, or my hardware, or because my house is under a wicked spell, but if I switch my "tv" away from my "tv server" it now disables that display and doesn't enable it if you switch back. nothing less than a reboot seems to do that. </p><p>Still don't have anything like a working <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/mythtv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythtv</span></a>. after all that work – debian 11, latest mythtv – it's the same. so I suppose a cap must have popped on the motherboard or something; that's all I have left (unless wicked spell, which…)</p>

EL9 doesn't ship any DVB drivers, so looks like I'm recompiling the kernel :(</p>
Sergei Vasilevsky<p>I am usually not the type to call out open source developers. They support projects on their own free time and often juggle many priorities in their personal and professional lives, but the latest MythTV v34 release and this recent post take the cake. You can find the full conversation thread with the developer here: <a href="https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5684" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php</span><span class="invisible">?f=2&t=5684</span></a> This makes me wonder, when an open source developer acknowledges in writing that their latest major stable release lacks basic security and is a major step backwards - should there be any consequences for the developer? For context, MythWeb is a DVR scheduling web application, part of MythTV package, for recording and playback of free over-the-air TV programming. Previous versions required authentication and many users have it exposed to the internet. If you are on version 34 of MythTV this is your PSA to downgrade or take it offline.<br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mythtv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythtv</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ota</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/doh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doh</span></a></p>

There are almost no commercial interruptions anymore and the ads that run between shows are typically just advertising the shows themselves, not the annoying ads from big corps like Pepsi.</p><p>So <a href="https://blobfox.coffee/tags/mythTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythTV</span></a> is the champ. Not sure how the counts in your poll because it effectively converts linear to on-demand, though of course the selections they decide to run is limited.</p><p>When in Europe, I don’t even have a TV nor have I setup any kind of TV feed to the PC. It would probably not have much English programming anyway, so I would probably need a dish if I were motivated.</p>
