* Package name : mythtv Version : 0.22 Upstream Author : Isaac Richards <i...@po.cwru.edu> * URL : http://www.mythtv.org/ * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: C, C++, Perl, Python, Description : A personal video recorder application MythTV is a PVR (Personal Video Recorder) application that implements the following, and more, with a unified graphical interface: - Basic 'live-tv' functionality. Pause/Fast Forward/Rewind "live" TV. - Video compression using RTjpeg or MPEG-4 - Program listing retrieval using XMLTV - Themable, semi-transparent on-screen display - Electronic program guide - Scheduled recording of TV programs - Resolution of conflicts between scheduled recordings - Basic video editing NOTE: The old ITP (bug #311367) has long been closed and the pkg-mythtv-maintainers team seem to be dead (they haven't responded to an email I've sent some time ago [1]). This will be another attempt at getting MythTV into Debian. I will be basing the packaging from the packages that are currently distributed through Ubuntu. Some work has already been done towards getting mythtv into Debian. Take a look at Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/mythtv.git Vcs-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/mythtv.git For a start, I've already implemented a way for mythtv to build and run with system libraries for ffmpeg, version >= 4:0.6~~svn20100124-1, which will be the next ffmpeg upstream version to be uploaded. Next would be to have mythtv work with FFMpeg from the 0.5 branch in SVN (like the current packages in sid). This would than follow with having mythtv use libmp3lame via dlopen. There's also an interest upstream to use vorbis as a replacement/alternative to mp3. 1. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mythtv-maintainers/2009-June/000532.html _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
