[mythtv-users] Overlay and blink problems with Lenovo M58

Hi Mark!

What does mythbackend --version on the backend give? I assume you are running 0.22 - 0.24 whereas Mythbuntu 14.04.01 ships with 0.27 (hence the warning 63 versions old). You could upgrade mythbackend to 0.27 without changing from Mythbuntu 10.10 (I believe). Otherwise I assume you could install Mythbuntu 14.04.01 but checkout the older (0.24?) branch. However you may struggle to get support when your MythTV version is pre fixes/0.25.


Remember that your OS version and MythTV version are different things and are not hard coded to each other.


Personally I would be strongly avoiding installing Mythbuntu 10.10 (which is not LTS) on a brand 'new' (modern hardware) computer. It is well out of date. You would be much better off with the 14.04.01 Mythbuntu point release which is LTS.

At this point no idea what version the backend is running; it says its Frontend version is "0.23 fixes (26437)".  Right now any fiddling to find the information would get me 'shot' by my other half.  

As for 10.10 being out of date - I agree; getting some money together for a new Backend.

Good news: I did find a way to get things to work: Utilities/Setup > Setup > TV Settings > Playback > Playback Profile (3/8).  Change the top line from CPU+ to CPU++ got the overlays and closed captioning back in the 1080 recordings!
