Ticket #13263 fixes that issue and #13264 is a similar issue. I attached
the patches to another thread because the server was down that day:
https://lists.gt.net/mythtv/users/617436

If you can apply them to the rpmFusion mythtv source rpm (editing the .spec
file and adding the patches), you can fix the issues yourself.

I used Mock to rebuild them.  It's a little tricky but it's a good skill to
learn in the event of other patches to other applications down the road.

Depending on how fast your machine is, the build might take an hour, or
maybe more than that, or maybe 30 minutes?.  Once you know it's working,
take a break for a while.

Basically, you:

1. make a folder in your home called rpmbuild (just a suggestion).

1.5 edit ~/.rpmmacros to have one line (there may be many more but this
works):

%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild

2. rpm -ivh <mythtv-29.rpm>  Extracts rpm to rpmbuild/<SUBDIRS>

3. edit rpmbuild/mythtv.spec to add patch below
Name/Version/Release/Summary block (right under Source0:  I put Patch0:
patch0.patch  and Patch1:patch1.patch (use better names here))  Increment
the Release by 1 (not the version).

4. in SOURCES directory, add patch0.patch and patch1.patch

4.5. Install mock:  dnf install mock

5. Use this config for mock or modify it to suit you:
https://pastebin.com/Ny2Dp5WL  See the title of the paste for the filename.

6. These steps worked for me with Kodi.  Change <kodi> to <mythtv> where
appropriate.  See:

  https://oglok.github.io/2016-10-05-How-to-build-RPMs-with-Mock/

https://wiki.nikhef.nl/grid/Building_RPMs_using_mock#Generating_the_binary_and_source_RPMs

https://blog.packagecloud.io/eng/2015/05/11/building-rpm-packages-with-mock/

and there are more.

My usual steps, for what it's worth:

  [hambone at localhost rpmbuild]$ mock -r fedora-28-rpmfusion-x86_64
--spec=./SPECS/kodi.spec --sources=./SOURCES/ --buildsrpm
  [hambone at localhost rpmbuild]$ cp
/var/lib/mock/fedora-28-rpmfusion-x86_64/result/kodi-17.6-7.fc28.src.rpm ~
  [hambone at localhost rpmbuild]$ mock -r fedora-28-rpmfusion-x86_64
--rebuild ~/kodi-17.6-7.fc28.src.rpm
  [hambone at localhost rpmbuild]$ mock -r fedora-28-rpmfusion-x86_64 –-clean

7. Everthying gets dumped in that
/var/lib/mock/fedora-28-rpmfusin-x86-64/result directory.  Try them out.
rm *debug*.rpm *devel*.rpm (or save them just in case - I would).  dnf
install ./*.rpm.

8. Drink a beer, do something illegal, take a nap.  That should do it.

I'm sure something official will come down the pike soon.  You can replace
your fix with the official one when you get it.  These patches saved me a
few times already.

Hope that helps,
Jerry
