I wanna try the cvs version of mythtv due to a new feature i´d like to have. (record wildcards)

Do i need to dpgk -r all mythpackages before compile?

Anything else i need to change besides /usr/local to usr ?

Do i need to enable lirc in settings.pro?

thx

what are record wildcards?

yes would be good idea

I think that's it.

If you want to use an infrared remote yes.

thx
record wildcards:

problem show named by broadcaster: "blabla No. 35563", next one in epg named "blabla No. 35564", so so record alwyas on this channel doesn´t work.

In CVS and upcoming 0.16 you can record shoes like "blabla%" so every show starting with blabla is recorded, just like you would do in the search-module.

i finally am up and running on CVS.. it was pretty easy.. the overview is

1) remove all the mythtv packages
But Before you hit enter Doubletap the Tab key it will show you a list of deb packages install that start with myth. then finish the line like...
dpkg -r mythmusic - as an example.

2)
a) apt-get install cvs

b) follow the steps on cvs setup
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-5.html

3) run this command:

***** dont skip step 3 or 4********

4) in EVERY module you install from CVS, vi the settings.pro file and change the:
PREFIX = /usr/local
to
PREFIX = /usr


Notes: if you want to know how to install a module just vi README located in everymodule. but mostly its just

(add the options like opengl here. To see list of options try ./configure --help)
(change mythmusic.pro to appropiote sp?? plugin)
(can take along time espicialy on mythtv!!!)

while kpkg -r might work you really should use dpkg -r

yeah thanks xsecrets.. thats what i meant, but once i typed it wrong it stuck in my head wrong.. i went back and changed the typo's

yeah I wasn't at my box to check, but I don't even think kpkg is a command. I know there is a make-kpkg for creating .deb kernels, but that's all I know of that kpkg is used for.
