Updated main code to SVN #20550

Fully re-worked AC3 upmixer. Changed logic so no memory allocation would ever occur during playback. For some reasons, if you call Qt routines to often which will allocate/free memory, sooner or later mythfrontend crashed.

Build packages with VDPAU patch #20549

Many changes in those packages... Hopefully no more bugs are found, will be put in release this week-end

HDPVR preliminary support.

HDPVR support has been added, but if you want to activate it you will have to compile the package yourself. I do not have a HDPVR myself, so I can’t say if it works.

Activate the source repository, do:

apt-get source mythtv

go into the folder mythtv-testing, edit debian/patches/00list

and uncomment the line:

#46_hdpvrsupport

To compile:

First install all the required dependencies

$ sudo apt-get build-dep mythtv

$ cd mythtv-testing

$ dpatch apply-all

#If on Intrepid or Hardy, do:

$ dpatch deapply 30_python26_transition

#Now compile

$ CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC -DPIC" ./configure --compile-type=debug --prefix=/usr --runtime-prefix=/usr --enable-lirc --enable-audio-alsa --enable-audio-oss --enable-audio-jack --enable-dvb --enable-ivtv --enable-firewire --enable-joystick-menu --enable-opengl-vsync --with-bindings=perl --enable-opengl-video --enable-ffmpeg-pthreads --enable-vdpau  --enable-xvmc --enable-xvmc-vld --enable-xvmc-pro --enable-glx-procaddrarb --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libxvid --enable-libfftw3 --enable-hdpvr

$ make

$ make install

Before you run it, make sure you read:

http://mythtv.org/wiki/Patch_myth.21-fixes_for_hdpvr_on_Ubuntu_8.10

Obviously ignore how to download, patch and compile mythtv as I’ve done it for you.

You need to modify your database schema. This will break future automatic update.

You’ve been warned!
