<p>Thanks for the updayte great to hear how it is going - I am using xubuntu kaola with myth.21 as a frontend which is fine, a few small things wrong withit but nothing major (live tv doesn't work but never use it anyway)</p>
<p>The backend is 9.04 and one day will look to upgrade it as myth.22 seems to be abbig step forward from a ui perspective. Just not brave enough yet. Thanks for the update.</p>

<br>
Just wanted to write a recap of what is working and not on my<br>
currently mythtv install.<br>
<br>
I'm using an ASUS P5N7A-VM LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 9300/nForce 730i<br>
HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard, running the latest Karmic Koala Beta<br>
and the 0.22 using the trunk repository from JYA with the nvidia<br>
190.36 drivers (great overscan correction), I'm also using the<br>
graphite theme.<br>
<br>
It works pretty well for the most part, the new in place metadata<br>
update is great, and the look of the graphite them is really good, the<br>
system has now less nonsense parameters, and TV watching performs<br>
better, quicker tuning, less crashing, better audio/video sync, but I<br>
have found some minor glitches:<br>
<br>
1.- As Petr Stehlik noted, mythshutdown with --setwakeup doesn't work<br>
out of the box, I tried his suggested change (adding :ss to the<br>
shutdown command) my next recording is tonight (Dollhouse), I hope it<br>
works.<br>
<br>
2.- VNC has to be reconfigured and it doesn't work while mythtv is<br>
running, you can connect but it slows down to a crawl, this didn't<br>
happen with just the mythtv migration, so I'm guessing is a problem<br>
with the nvidia driver and probably the theme (graphite) I haven't<br>
tested other themes yet. Also if I close mythtv and try VNC on the<br>
myhthbuntu GNOME desktop it works ok.<br>
<br>
3.- The Graphite theme is missing some screens in the recording<br>
options, if you get into those mythtv will block and never come back.<br>
<br>
4.- The SAMBA shares got broken with one of the last updates of<br>
Jaunty, you can connect, but whenever you start a copy from windows<br>
vista, windows explorer crashes (altough seems like the copy continues<br>
to work) I switched to FTP from the time being. When I moved to<br>
Karmic, tried configuring the shares from the GUI, but the shares I<br>
create there are never configured, I'll try manual configuration in<br>
Karmic and see what happens.<br>
<br>
5.- I lost my sound when I moved to Karmic, you have to fix it going<br>
to the Mixer application, it's necessary to unmute the channels on the<br>
HDA adapter and also to select the iec958-2 switch, here's the catch,<br>
this parameters would get reset everytime you reboot the machine.<br>
Seems like the alsactl application is missing so you have to select<br>
the alsa-utils package so the settings are persisted after a reboot.<br>
<br>
6.- I use mythwelcome, with the upgrade to Karmic two instances of<br>
mythfrontend are started, you have to go to mythbuntu control centre<br>
disable autostart, and then go to sessions on the GUI and remove any<br>
mythtv startup application, add a new one and type mythfrontend<br>
--service as the startup command, this one works with mythwelcome.<br>
<br>
7.- I had to remove the mplayer package before, to be able to install<br>
the nvidia 190.36 package from JYA, I tried selecting it again but now<br>
it says it can't be deployed because it depends on libass1 >= 0.9.5<br>
which is not installable.<br>
<br>
8.- MPD is broken haven't gotten to it yet.<br>
<br>
9.- the mythtv master backend package is not installed, one way to fix<br>
this (if your machine is the master backend) is to go to the mythbuntu<br>
control centre and select the master backend role.<br>
<br>
10.- When you upgrade to Karmic, JYA's repositories are commented out,<br>
you need to re-enable them again.<br>
<br>
11.- Autologin is also not kept by default, you have to re-enable it.<br>
<br>
12.- You have to reconfigure mysql optimizations on mythbuntu control centre.<br>
<br>
13.- The resolv.conf is rewritten assuming dhcp, if you have a fixed<br>
address you need to re-add your nameservers and save the session, if<br>
not it will be rewritten again, I selected the gnome-network-admin<br>
package just to be able to check parameters from the GUI.<br>
<br>
14.- Jamu scripts point to some fixed paths (i.e.: the IMDB script) on<br>
/usr/local/share but the application is deployed on /usr/share so the<br>
IMDB alternate script for example is never used, I created a symbolic<br>
link in /usr/local/share (wrong solution) just to not deal with it.<br>
<br>
15.- alsa.conf is modified, I had to check the backup configuration<br>
file for the last line (intel hda), and add it to the new alsa.conf.<br>
<br>
<br>
Does anybody now if DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD are now supported natively?<br>
I'm having problems also with .ts files.<br>
<br>
<br>
Well hope this helps.<br>
<br>
Regards.<br>
