Hi all,

I see a lot of discussion on here about version 34 and I’m wondering if it is ready for a non-developer to move to yet?

What are the advantages of 34 over 33?

Is mythweb, that I know and love, still fully functional in v34? I’ve never had much success with webfrontend, so I don’t want to be forced into using that just yet.

Regards,
Dave

First off, v34 is not released so using it can cause issues for you.  Playing with it on a test machine is going pretty good for me and I have not had any major failures that missed recording a show or something disastrous  like that.

Some of us are being test monkeys and trying to break it to find problems particularly with the new Web App.  I know you mentioned Mythweb.  That has been broken for some time for me.  Editing rules, particularly templates doesn't work for me.  That and a lot of other things work better for me on the new Web App introduced in v34. When you are bored and want to play, spin up a VM with Ubuntu and ppa for v34 and see how you can setup the backend without mythtv-setup. All done with the web app.

If you have a Networked tuner you can do all of this in a VM.  

However, it's pre-release code so if you don't like breaking things and fixing them, then stay on v33.

I'm a really old computer guy and If something computer-ish doesn't break in the morning I have nothing to do until Happy Hour.

Yes, maybe a VM is the way to go - I don’t have a network tuner, but I should be able to use a USB device with a VM, so I’ll have a play.

Thanks,
Dave
