After installing 7.2, I finally have most of the kinks worked out. The only things I am left to deal with are is the web browsing experience.

1.) When using the internal mythweb browser, I cannot figure out how to get flash to work. I think I just need to put the libflashplayer.so file somewhere, but dont know where.

2.) When experimenting with chrome as a replacement, I can get flash to work, except for the sound! I do not know if I need a special item in asound.conf to get sound working in chrome? Perhaps I did put libflashplayer.so in all the right places for sound to work?

3.) When using chrome instead of the internal browser, the web bookmarks feature of linhes do not work. Are they supposed to work, or do they only work with the internal web browser?

Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

Code:
pacman -Sy flashplugin
Then just make sure plugins are enabled in Service Menu --> MythTV Config --> Setup --> Info Center Settings --> Web Settings

To get flash in Chrome working here I had to setup ~/.asoundrc with:
Code:
pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card SB
    device 2
    }

Bookmarks work if you do something like:
Code:
/usr/bin/chromium %URL%

Thanks for the tips!

I have flash kind of working in the internal browser, and the bookmarks working in chrome. No sound yet in either browser despite adding the suggested lines to .asoundrc. Also my keyboard does not work when using the internal browser, and the internal browser freezes up the whole system after about a minute, forcing me to reboot.

F1 toggles the keyboard input.

Depending on your sound card your .asoundrc will be different than mine.

One other thing you might try to get sound from Flash. If you are using ALSA, remove the oss pkg.
Code:
pacman -R oss

Just to report back, I did get the sound working! For anyone with a V1 dragon, here is how I got it to work.

1.) Did not use an .asoundrc file, just the asound.conf file in /etc/
2.) This is how my asound.conf file looks like:

Code:
  pcm.!default {
     type plug
     slave {
        pcm "hw:0,1"
        format S32_LE
     }
  }


The settings of 'hw:0,1' may be different depending on your system. use the command

Code:
aplay -l


to verify the device and hardware number of your card for digital out iec958 .

mythnetvision still freezes the whole system when I try to exit a website such as youtube or pandora. Dont know why. But I may not use mythnetvision much anyway, so I am fine with the issue
