MythTV 0.21 Released

kormoc writes "The new release has lots of new stuff, notably: autodiscovery (less manual configuration of new front-ends), storage groups (no need for LVM/etc), support for multiple recordings on one DVB/ATSC multiplex, a couple of new plugins, some new deinterlacing / video display options, and many, many other things. The release notes page in the wiki has the list of what's changed, but it's currently a couple thousand checkins out of date. Grab the release from the download section and please at least try to read the docs before asking questions. The binary packages should hopefully be updated to 0.21 soon."

Re:TV Listings

I'm pretty sure that MythTV used to use Zap2It to get their tv listing info, but a while ago we discussed that Zap2It was no longer going to provide this service for free. Where is this release pulling the listing data from? MythTV can get listing info from various sources, but I think most folks (at least in the USA and Canada) are now using Schedules Direct (http://www.schedulesdirect.org/). Schedules Direct was set up by various folks involved with open source video/television related projects like MythTV in response to the Zap2It free listings shutdown and has reached its goal of getting enough subscribers to hit a price point of $20 per year for listings data (with a 7 day free trial). My experience with the transition was that it was pretty much seamless.
