MHEG Patches sent to MythTV Team

March 4th, 2007

I’ve now managed to clean up the code enough to send the patches onto the MythTV team. Take a look at their trac ticket #3162. The attached patch will work against MythTV 0.20 out of SVN. For the moment I’ve mapped the FreeView MHEG EPG key onto F12, but this might change. Still needs a [...]

Very well attended but they didn’t get into some [...]
