MythTV, Open Source DVR

MythTV is a Free Open Source software digital video recorder (DVR) project distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL. It has been under heavy development since 2002, and now contains most features one would expect from a good DVR (and many new ones that you soon won't be able to live without).

0.24.1 Released

We've just made our first point release from the 0.24 stable branch which includes all the fixes which have been backported to 0.24 since it was first released in November 2010. Details of the changes since 0.24 can be found in the Release Notes. I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this release including those providing detailed bug reports and Matt S. for his great work on the release notes.

This time we are not releasing an updated themes tarball. 0.24.1 includes a fully functional theme downloader within the frontend which allows browsing, downloading and installation of all official and most unofficial themes from a remote server. You should use this feature to obtain updates for your preferred theme from now on.

We'd advise all users currently running 0.24.0 to upgrade, those using the 0.24-fixes branch should already have these changes. If you are using packages and you are in any doubt then please ask the package maintainers which version they are providing.

Work on 0.25 is progressing. We will update you on the changes you can expect and a possible release date in due course.

New server

  • We finished the first phase our server migration tonight by moving web and mail services to their temporary home.
  • Expect there to be some delays and slowness in email while DNS and mail servers catch up, especially if you get your email from Yahoo, AT&T, or AOL.
  • If you are experiencing any lingering issues by Monday, please speak with xris or beirdo in #mythtv on irc.freenode.net.
  • Also, it appears that something about the new server has confused our RSS feed and made it resend everything. We apologize for the feed spam this has caused.
