[mythtv-users] firmware differences between 4.1 and 4.2?

[Anthony Joint]

Go check out http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware

This page will tell you what you need to know.  4.1 introduced hotplug 
for kernels that support it. With the hotplug mechanism, the location 
for firmware is different. They have also changed some of the naming 
conventions. I had to create the hotplug firmware directory on my 
system. You will likely have to also. The web page above tells you how 
to determine which directory hotplug is using.

Starting with 5.0 only hotplug will be supported. Also make sure to read 
the release notes if going from 4.0 to 4.1 or higher since the interface 
numbering has changed as well. Release notes are available on the 
http://www.ivtvdriver.org page.
