Although many of the "patches" are related to the use of softcams etc and
therefore not directly cover a shortfall in mythtv, it looks a bit arrogant
to in advance classify them as dubious. There might be some value in them,
and should not be thrown aside as dubious, or as another member mentioned,
let them post these issues as bugs, and we'll look at them.

This is not the attitude that the developer of vdr has, and is one of the
strong points of vdr.

This is not the attitude that the developer of vdr has, and is one of the
strong points of vdr. If mythtv (read its developers) is intending to stay
where it is right now, I would suggest that you consider also these types of
"patches", even if only to see if these guys were smarter in some area's
then the "official" coders.
They know that many of the things they developed would only be considered
feature requests, and most likely don’t have the patience to wait. It does
not make them dubious or less skilled. Although they could have sent their
"patches" up to the trac, so all users could benefit and not only those
subscribed to that forum.

But thanks for a very nice and slick and crashfree product anyway guys !
