A while ago I rewrote my ceton patch to work in trunk. In doing so, I<br>
was able to make a number of design changes to address bugs, increase<br>
performance/reliability, and add new features. I have now backported<br>
all of those changes to 0.24. I've been running this patch on my<br>
production system all week, and it's been working great. Here are some<br>
of the key changes that were made<br>
<br>
1) Fixed some bugs that could cause the backend to hang if you tuned<br>
an invalid channel (or if a channel was not broadcasting any data). If<br>
you ever had to restart the backend because it said the tuner was<br>
busy, even though it wasn't, this should fix that<br>
2) You no longer need to run the channel mapper to configure the<br>
channels if you have a cablecard installed. Simply letting<br>
mythtv-setup or mythfilldatabase create the channels should be all<br>
that is necessary.<br>
3) In addition to the old method of reading from the /dev/ceton/*<br>
device entries, you can also now use RTP/RTSP to stream the data. This<br>
method can also be useful when the Ceton card is installed in another<br>
system (as long as that system has the networks bridged so that the<br>
Ceton is accessible externally).<br>
4) Multiple Ceton cards can now be used, either using the direct<br>
device entry method, or using RTP/RTSP.<br>
5) Channel changing performance has been improved. Under normal<br>
circumstances, this may not be noticable, or only slightly noticable.<br>
However, under heavy loads some users previously experienced slow<br>
channel changing. This should fix that.<br>
