This package replaces the previous 'mythtv' AUR package. It has been renamed to comply with Arch's VCS package guidelines.

I hope to update the various mythplugins AUR packages soon

Thanks :)

I'll wait a few more days in case somebody else wants to chime in.

@delx, sounds good to me. Thanks.

@delx, I have no objections to you adopting this package.

delx commented on 2020-10-25 14:17 (UTC)

How would people feel about me adopting this modifying it to track the fixes/31 branch, just like mythtv-git. At that point mythtv-git could be dropped, or somebody else could adopt it to track master.

@jfabernathy Download snapshot and Git clone of this repo will result in the same contents, as far as building this package is concerned. The advantage of Git clone is that once you clone it, you can simply use Git to pull any changes that are submitted since you cloned. With download snapshot, you will have to re-download whenever there are new changes, if you want them.

The difference between this package and the mythtv-git package is that this one is fixed to the official MythTV releases posted, where as mythtv-git builds from the latest source on a particular branch.

Unfortunately for this package, it seems @Taijian has recently abandoned it, so I'm not sure if someone else will step up to maintain it or not.

newbie question: I built mythtv using Download snapshot yesterday and after installing some dependencies I got fixes/31 from the March release of mythfrontend installed and working against my existing remote backend. So ~6 months out of date. when I searched the AUR for mythtv it found another one called mythtv-git. I built that using Git Clone URL and it's seems to have the latest Oct 12, 2020 fixes. Which should I be using and does using the Download snapshot versus Git Clone URL make the difference??

Some recent changes (July) in python bindings (dt.py) are causing errors.

for instance 'find-orphans.py' fails when deleting orphans

OK - thanks for the clarification. I don't own a HDHomeRun and was wondering if I could dispense with the lib, but if I can't then it's not a biggie by any means.

Taijian commented on 2020-09-26 16:38 (UTC)

@chuser @bigcajun826: Yeah, I agree that the current handling is confusing. For the next update I'll probably just leave libhdhomerun in 'depends' and remove the 'optdepend'. I put it into the latter back when I thought that I could just make it a make- and optdepend, but that turned out to be wrong. The I kinda forgot the take it out of optdepends again... Will fix!

bigcajun826 commented on 2020-09-25 12:47 (UTC)

@chuser libhdhomerun is only required if you want to use an HD Homerun device. Unfortunately, if you want to use one, you have to have it installed during compile and at runtime. An "optdepends" would mean you don't need it for compiling the package, but if you have it when running the software, the software would presumably support it. But for those with an HD Homerun, if they don't have libhdhomerun installed when building Myth, an HD Homerun device won't be supported, even if they install libhdhomerun after. They'd have to rebuild.
