I'm running 2 backends (one FE/ slave BE) with 4 additional frontends. All
were upgraded to 0.23-fixes about two weeks ago from (the apparently buggy
version of) 0.23 that I had installed from Mythbuntu. All boxes are ubuntu
10.10. The upgrade to 0.24 via mythbuntu's autobuilds went very well and was
extremely fast! Here are the issues I've had so far:
1) Three of the five machines (A Dell Optiplex 745, Dell Latitude E6510 and
Dell 1909 all-in-one touchscreen) needed me to re-scan audio and select an
appropriate device to get sound. Prior to the scan If I tried to watch
anything, it would have no sound and the myth FE would hang on exit, having
to force quit. All boxes use analog audio.
2) My FE / slave BE combo is connected to an HD-PVR and controls my STB via
firewire. The day after the upgrade my other FE's wouldn't connect,
complaining that they couldn't get the protocol version. One FE even said it
had the wrong version of mysql. A reboot of the combo box fixed the issue
and it hasn't returned yet.
3) Another HD-PVR issue - Apparently the timeout value for tuning to the
HD-PVR needs to be increased. It seems to take longer to lock onto the
signal than it did in .23, and I get the "you should have received a signal
by now" error message, only to have the box lock on a moment later and tune
to tv. And yes, I'm one of those heathens that watches a lot of live tv.
4) My combo box's FE process has segfaulted once.
That's it for issues, as far as I can tell. Core usability works fine,
mythvideo plays all the .iso DVD images I have mapped to a Windows share
over Samba, and the new built-in metadata downloader works really well to
get all the movie information. Upgrading to .23 (not a typo, see above)
broke mythexport and LIRC registers my IR remote keypresses twice, but I
haven't gone back to see if those issues have magically been fixed by .24.
In addition, mythweb used to be awfully slow and apache2 would spike the CPU
whenever I clicked a link; now it's very speedy.
