Post subject:  What patches are compiled into Knoppmyth Mythtv?

I was just wondering what, if any patches are compiled into Mythtv in R5E50. In particular I am interested if there are any patches for satellite TV in North America.

It's the version it say it is.

Look under KnoppMyth -> Version or Information Center -> System Status -> Listing Status

This will give you the highest changelist number at the time Cecil updated his sources from Subversion. You can then compare that to the changes for the 0.20-fixes branch listed here: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/log/branches/release-0-20-fixes

I was looking for unofficial mythtv patches, like the ones found here: http://opensvn.csie.org/myth_dvb_ng/

I wrote a how-to that includes applying these patches. However someone wrote that they weren't needed. I want to confirm this before I remove it.

I am thinking that the person who wrote that the patches aren't needed, didn't have full functionality.

How might I find out if these patches have been applied or not?

Thanks,
Derek

To the best of my knowledge Cecil uses the -fixes branch pretty much "as is". I'm only aware of 3 or 4 additions:

    - The KnoppMyth entry and submenu off the main menu.

    - The MythStream module

    - The StreamTV module.

    - Some extra themes.


That's pretty much it.

The only patch is for the menu entry. What is it that the patch you link to provide? Is it legal? Why not submit the patches to MythTV proper?

These patches don't do any decryption, so I would have to believe they are legal. There are several different patches. One enables a Nexus capture card to work with Myth. A few others fix the EIT info from NA satellite provides. And one enables satellite radio in Myth. I will ask if these have been submitted to the Mythtv group.

Anyway, thanks for the info!
Derek
