This is not helpful. Hmmm. I didn't see any of that in your original post, just you having a problem and then flying off the handle about it.

You were complaining that it does optimizations based on platform, now you're saying it's a good thing. Make up your mind. And as always in the world of open source software, you are welcome to change it, but it may not ever get reflected in the official source tree. >>>MythTV Version CVS from 2004-12-14 >> maybe you should update this before spewing...

Perhaps sending some patches :-). Figuring the DVB patch went into CVS recently, I'd expect it will change. >>>gcc: 3.4.2 >> And gcc 3.4.x has issues with a lot of code.

It will not compile some ANSI C (which is **BASIC** functionality) and you say it works better? Jeez. > P.S.: Please don't interpret every line as personal attack. That was not > my intention.

So it will be a more positive one ;-). First off, it's not "my" software. Secondly, bitching and complaining when you obviously haven't done your research (such as reading the -dev mailing list to see that the DVB Patch had been committed to CVS), and haven't kept current with CVS... That's not a problem with the software. That's a problem with the user. MythTV works marvelously for many people. With thousands of success stories and a handful of people who can't get it working, that tells me the issue is likely not confined to the software itself. Have a nice day Gavin
