Bug Description
For each MythTV release, upstream keeps a "fixes" branch where they commit fixes (rather than features) of bugs found in that release. This has quite a few fixes for some major bugs found in the version released with 12.04 and be uploaded as an SRU.
[IMPACT]
* Minor issues aside, some of the major issues in the 12.04 release are
* Running mythfilldatabase takes much longer (hours instead of minutes) to run due to MySQL 5.5 using the innodb engine by default. ( https:/
* One of the most popular tuner cards failed recording when run in Digital Cable mode ( http://
* Mythbuntu is doing LTS only releases, thus this needs to be fixed in the point release ISOs.
[TESTCASE]
* Install a MythTV backend, sign up for an account at http://
[Regression Potential]
* The MythTV set of packages are isolated in that nothing is built against them. There should be no regression as the fixes are on MythTV itself.
* The Mythbuntu team provides a PPA with builds of MythTV where these fixes have been tested on 12.04. We've not heard any negative feedback on these fixes.
