[mythtv] Readiness of 0.21-fixes mythfrontend on Win32

[Nigel Pearson]

Thanks for this list. There were a few that I had forgotten.

There was a similar bug in Mac OS for a while.
Not sure yet, but I think it was related to -r15623

Still a mystery to me, but I suspect the UPnP stuff.

Just fixed.

Low priority. Note that MythArchive also uses python.

I'm working on this now.

Fixed.

Haven't investigated, but are you sure its removed?

Have not experienced this one, but it should
now be fixed by latest win32-packager.pl ?

Sounds like a backend misconfig error.
I just got a HDTV recording to start playing!
(and then the FE hanged when I tried to exit)

Minor, but it only needs a Google to find a Win32 load
routine to add into programs/mythbackend/httpstatus.cpp

Huh?

Don't really care, but easy to patch?

How so? Just refresh issues like 5212?

I had to change the config path from ignyte to ignyte.exe,
but didn't get a crash, just an 100% CPU on ignyte.exe.
I assumed that was because I tested behind a proxy firewall.

I can't get this module to do anything
(always stuck at screen setep page)

Or /c/msys/1.0/bin/nice.exe needs to be copied to

Mac OS X (and some Linux distros) have the same problem.
I have tried a fake install those modules in the package,
but gave up.

Haven't tried building that. Patch?

I don't get that error. Was that because of no videos?

Moving it to the backend is a good idea
(and has been discussed before?) but is a lot of work.

Should be roughly fixed by latest win32-packager.pl
