After getting off to a rough start things did get better. Since the upgrade I've noticed
the following:

Myth issues:

Play Online Streams - gives error "The plugin for mythstream has failed to run for some reason"
if you hit OK then says - "Plugin mythstream is not compatible with the installed MythTV libraries.
(Resolved) read on

Hardware Profile - gives error "Plugin for mythsmolt has failed to run for some reason"
(Resolved) read on

Mythweb issues:
Myth weather missing in mythweb -
I have verified that the weather module is not included with Mythweb in version 0.25 why I don't know
Looks like I will have to do without

mouseover box for program Information no longer works in listings.

Hardware issues:

After the upgrade VDPAU did not work. Upgrading the drivers to NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.59.run
fixed that problem.

Arch issue:

Since the upgrade I get the follow msg when I ssh to the machine
Code:

if I run df

I'm sure "none" use to say swap. How do I get my swap space back?

On my 7.2 system it says "shm"

I have three boxes that I upgraded to 7.3 this weekend. The only one that's labeled "none" is the one that uses VDPAU for video. idk if this is related or coincidence, just reporting.

I just upgraded three machines. The first one was a pain because I ran out of space and thus the schema upgrade failed. However, after that adventure things went very smooth.

Here are some issues that I encountered

XBMC package was failing so I removed /usr/bin/xdpyinfo and it installs correctly

added my remote to
/usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml

changed
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/defaultmenu/library.xml

rebooted so XBMC Lirc would work properly with my remote

Having the remote work across the board and all the updated packages :D

To remove these messages
Quote:
/bin/df: `devpts': No such file or directory
/bin/df: `tmpfs': No such file or directory


change /etc/fstab and replace the word none with devpts and shm respectively.
Quote:
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0

shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0


The upgrade process was supposed to take of that for you, but guess it missed your system.

mythsmolt is no longer used with myth.25 as it's part of one of the wizards now.
it's safe to remove mythsmolt with pacman -R mythsmolt.
Again that have occured for you already, but looks like it didn't.

I don't know anything about the status of mythstream.

Jams,

Thanks for the information and update on mythsmolt. I made the changes and also removed mythsmolt and rebooted ran df
Code:
[root@mythtv ~]# df -k
Filesystem                                             1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
udev                                                       10240         0     10240   0% /dev
run                                                        10240       236     10004   3% /run
/dev/disk/by-uuid/39c2b0f6-575f-4554-9696-d8f316e943c8   5036284   4176144    604308  88% /
shm                                                       514412         0    514412   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda3                                              474662896 185016708 265534632  42% /myth

So all should be good there. Since the reboot looks like I have swap space reporting again.

Two other things I've noticed and wonder if anyone has seen this as well.

OnScreen Program guide:
Program Guide no longer displays colors for the program categories, or are different. (What were the old settings?)

Mythweb
Mouseover box for program Information no longer works in listings.
Mythweather missing in Mythweb

Looked deeper into the problem with getting a mythstream error when selecting the "Play Online Streams" entry under Library menu.
Code:
    <button>
        <type>STREAM</type>
        <text>Play Online Streams</text>
        <description></description>
        <action>PLUGIN mythstream</action>
        <depends>mythstream</depends>
    </button>

    <button>
        <type>STREAM</type>
        <text>Play Online Streams</text>
        <description></description>
        <action>MENU is.xml</action>
    </button>

There are two entries for "Play Online Streams" so it takes the first one it finds. It really should be the second entry.
I deleted the first one and now it moves on the the is.xml menu like it should.

Mythweb mouseover text boxes not working.

Came across some additional information in the mythtv_php-cgi.log
Looks like this error is generated when I do a mouseover the program.
Code:
2012-07-29T15:06:22.976342-04:00 mythtv php-cgi: PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function json_encode() in /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/mythweb/modules/tv/get_show_details.php on line 10


I enabled it in the /etc/php/php.ini at the next reboot mouseovers started working, and no more errors.

I did the same thing you did, but nothing happens when I choose the second "Play Online Streams" choice. My frontend log gets the following error every time I choose it:

Code:
MythThemedMenu: No buttons for menu is.xml


In fact, along with mis-spelling "Streams" as "Steams," my is.xml is devoid of any buttons:

Code:
<mythmenu name="Internet Steams">

</mythmenu>


Is there something I'm supposed to do to populate this menu?

I messed around a bit and found that uninstalling and re-installing mythappletrailers made it appear in is.xml and work on the frontend. I wonder what else I should be seeing there that needs an uninstall and re-install.

Code:
sudo pcaman -R mythappletrailers


Code:
sudo pacman -S mythappletrailers

To my knowledge these are the only things that use is.xml
huludesktop
web_on_linhes
mythtv
appletrailers
miro
Reinstalling those apps should fix the file.

As a side note I have been ignoring this problem for some time, but finally looked at it for R8 and it should be resolved for good !

The mouseover issue is apparently still a problem in 7.4. To fix it edit /etc/php/php.ini, find the line that says:
Code:
;extension=json.so

and remove the leading ';' (the php comment character) and reboot.

Rebooting seems a bit heavy handed, but restarting the lighttpd service didn't do it and nothing else seemed like an obvious choice. Possibly the mythbackend service?
