The long awaited update

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 [...]



Another update

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 [...]



Update, Update, Update…

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 [...]



Multiple DVB Frontend support

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.



More updates

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.



MythTV Updates

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, [...]



Myth Patches

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



MythTV LATM Ticket created

The other day, I ceated a ticket in the mythtv trac system that is the start of the LATM/HE-AAC audio support for NZ freeview|HD. This is just fixing a minor bug where the stream type 0×11 was not being recognised as an audio stream.
I have started converting the LATM/AAC decoder I have done to parser, [...]



Update to MythTV and NZ Freeview|HD

I’ve updated my MythTV and NZ Freeview|HD page. This includes ffmpeg updated to revision 14016 & I have also separated out the LATM AAC patches. The LATM AAC code has been converted to C (rather than C++) and uses the ffmpeg bit-wise functions. I’m hoping to get this formatted such that it can be contributed [...]
