Great work Peter!
Thank you for working on the mythfrontend for Raspberry Pi 2+ and also
creating a .deb package.
I had no problem with installation by following your instructions. All
of the required libraries appear to be installed automatically. :-)
For RPi2 configuration I made sure I set the following parameters in
/boot/config.txt:
decode_MPG2=0x12345678 # Use your own MPEG-2 license key here.
gpu_mem=256
Also using *sudo raspi-config* I set my RPi2 to boot to a console
instead of a GUI. Then to start mythfrontend I used:
startx /usr/bin/mythfrontend
For testing I figured the best place to start was with the four bug
reports/tickets that mention "Raspberry" that I found earlier.
Following are my observations:
#12643 - Raspberry pi: Failure when resolution changes
https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12643
.deb: Example video from this ticket plays for about 10 seconds,
displays "Please Wait..." and then crashes.
This worked in your previous tarball so I know we should be able to
track down the culprit.
#12644 - Raspberry pi: Loses sound when skipping backwards
https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12644
.deb: This worked well. The sound immediately returned when skipping
backwards (for example enter "5" and then "left arrow" key).
#12675 - Raspberry pi: Need a default video display profile for OpenMAX
https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12675
.deb: This worked well. An "OpenMAX Normal" video playback profile
was automatically created.
#12677 - Raspberry Pi: jerkiness and interrupted audio during OSD
https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12677
.deb: There is some flickering with the OSD display. The flicker
appears to be worse with themes that use larger OSD displays.
I know this is an area you are working on.
Overall I am impressed with the new .deb package. It is much easier
to install and easier to run (no special library paths required).
Best Regards,
Curtis
