[mythtv-users] MythTV Mac Announcement

[scram69]

Hi Jean-Yves,

Thanks very much for your work on this latest mac frontend.  Settings
screens are now usable without having to press my nose up against the
screen to read the fields! Yay!
The way I read your description, however, it sounds like the python
metadata lookups should now work.  But in, for example, the video library,
the mac frontend still reports it cannot find metadata for films (that the
mythbuntu frontend finds metadata for). Is there something else I need to
enable to look up metadata?

Thanks,
Steve
