MythTV shenanigans…

I’ve just made a build of my patched 0.21-fixes for Intrepid Ibex.

After more than a month… another update.

MythTV is now at revision 18536
ffmpeg is at revision15570
I have included the patch for disabling in loop filtering for h.264 (can be disabled on the playback profile setup screen).

On my 1.6Ghz Core2 on TV1 (720p) I get 100-105% CPU usage and it skips a bit. With the loop filtering [...]

I have updated my PPA archive with the latest & greatest fixes from 0.21 & ffmpeg.
All packages are built with –enable-mmx & the i386 packages with –cpu=pentium4 for that extra little kick
The patch for the doubled h264 interlaced recorded show length from mythtv trunk is included.
Also, I found a bug in my port [...]

I have an ubuntu PPA repository
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-kcbbs/ubuntu hardy main
Just add this line to the bottom of your /etc/apt/sources.list, then
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mythtv
This is the normal mythbuntu mythtv package with all my patches ready to go.

I’ve updated mythtv to revision 18021 & ffmpeg to revision 14509.
I have also applied patches as suggested on the NZ mailing list and also make it so the libavcodec section is compiled without -DPIC -fPIC, which should allow an out-of-the-box build.
I also came across issue #427 in the ffmpeg bug tracker which affects us here [...]

My patches have been updated!
Michael Niedermayer from the ffmpeg project has performed something truly miraculous… he as fixed the interlacing artifacts for h.264! It seems that in a bid to simplify some of the h.264 code he, perhaps inadvertantly , fixed the interlacing problems we were having with our Freeview|HD streams.
I have updated [...]

As of revision 17832, my patch for multiple DVB frontend support is now included in the trunk of MythTV. The MythTV ticket for this is #5061.
I will continue to maintain it in my set of patches for 0.21-fixes until either 0.22 is released or the patch is included in 0.21-fixes.

I have updated my version of ffmpeg to revision 14095 and mythtv to 17731.
I have created a script that does all the updating so there are no manual steps, which means I shouldn’t get it wrong again… hopefully.

I have updated my MythTV patches. I have converted the LATM/AAC decoder into a LATM parser and the AAC decoding is now done by the included ffmpeg libfaad decoder.
I have updated my version of ffmpeg to revision 14055 and mythtv to 17697.
The LATM patch to ffmpeg has also been sent to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list, [...]

Just added a new page with the list of patches that I have submitted to the MythTV trac site.
