> I cant get a google search to locate any mention of MythWeb EOL and it's
such a valuable tool. It works ok with 0.27 are you saying it will be
dropped from 0.28 or is the timeline a little further out? thanks!

While it has not gotten high visibility in all locations, it has been
discussed on (one or more) MythTV lists (users list at
http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2014-February/360095.html and
the dev list, but I do not have a reference), but perhaps not in the ones
you regularly read. Anyway, the essential functionality of MythWeb is
being brought into the MBE, targeted for release with 0.28, which will
eliminate the need for complex web server configurations, and problems due
to MythWeb's (sometimes incorrect) use of internal facilities and direct
database access (and the Services API is being improved to support the new
functionality too, with consistent use of things like UTC, which probably
addresses at least part of your patch). There are some who may try to
keep MythWeb on life support for a bit longer, but no new patches or
requests for changes to the existing MythWeb should be submitted, nor
expected to be addressed, and my guess (and it is only a guess) would be
that by 0.29/0.30, MythWeb will be deleted entirely from the repo (sooner
if no one commits to supporting it with other internal MythTV changes, I
would guess), since it will no longer track the internal MythTV
features/functions. Any significant dev efforts for enhancement and new
functionality is going into the new internal web interface and enhancing
the Services API. Instead of lamenting the old, deprecated MythWeb,
contribute and enhance the new internal server, available for testing in
your development environment even now. While not 100% functional, nor
feature complete, test and contribute now. Avoid the release time rush
(requesting changes 1 week before release is not likely to be accepted).
So you do not forget, test before midnight tonight. Remember, if you do
not test, and contribute, your special needs might not make it to the
release. Perhaps someone will create a forum topic to track bugs, or
feature requests for the new service. And while no doubt your mileage
will vary, some who have tried it have reported to have been impressed.
