The "misconceptions" are popular for a reason... 0.24 was basically perfect for me. I upgraded to 0.25 as part of a hardware replacement/upgrade. But (for me at least) with 0.25 came broken realtime commercial flagging (is that fixed yet?), and poor results from even post-flagging, broken interaction between LiveTV and recordings, unusable MythMusic interface and random backend crashes. I didn't upgrade to 0.26 because ivtv-based device recording was completely broken for a while (I think it's fixed now) which would have made Myth useless for me. Granted, many of the problems can be traced back to bugs in ffmpeg which were pulled into the tree (and may still not be fixed), but several of the problems were written off as "race conditions". That may be true, but it's still broken and nobody cares enough to fix it. I know, patches welcome... Sorry for the rant. Myth still works for us and we are grateful for it but it used to be less fiddly.<br>
