MythTV 0.17 Released

Posted by Zonk on from the do-it-yourself-tivo dept.

foobar01 writes "MythTV 0.17 has been released. Changes include Mac OS X frontend support, big improvements to DVB and HDTV support, "timestretch" feature (for changing playback speed but not the pitch so you can watch shows more quickly), firewire capture support for cable boxes with firewire output, and widescreen user interface support. See the changelog for the full list of changes."

  1. Why is this in the Apple section? by SECProto · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I agree, frontend support for the mac was one of the bigger changes, but... it still will not record tv shows on a mac. it can only be used to watch already-recorded shows. Which is not much different than a video player, which is not the only function of MythTV

    mythTV is NOWHERE near ready for primetime. It is still a bitch to install and update.

    Hopefully this new version will fix some of these issues, but don't kid yourself. Call me when it comes with a graphical installer and I dont have to edit conf files.
