MythTV 0.22 Released

Posted by timothy on from the excess-of-caution dept.

uyguremre writes "After a little over a year and a half in the making, the developers of MythTV announced that MythTV 0.22 is now available. There have been a lot of large changes since 0.21, including a port from Qt v3 to Qt v4 and a major UI rewrite to convert to MythTV's new MythUI user interface libary. As always, this release adds support for some new hardware, in this case VDPAU video acceleration, DVB-S2, and the Hauppauge HD-PVR. The MythUI toolkit allows themes much greater control over the user interface and today we're announcing a competition to design new themes for MythTV. With the new release comes a theming competition too. For a more complete list of changes and new features, read the Release Notes on the wiki."

    I don't see the correlation, personally.

    Linux and anarcho-communism? Maybe.

    Linux and Stallmanite mind control? Most of the time, (though not always) yes.

    Linux and homosexuality, though? No.

    MCE in Win7 just works

    And that is the crux of the matter really. I spent a long time messing around MythTV, and various frontends for it, but in the end I just installed Windows 7, and used MCE, which has been faultless since I did so.

    It also has the benefit of working as a really, really, powerful games console.
