Release Notes for Gloss 0.1.0
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* First major release. Should be considered a developers version only as it requires significant testing. However:
|
|
|
|
* All modules included with 0.1 have been tested to work on a standard, unaltered MythTV 0.21 setup. This does not mean, however,
|
|
that they will work on *your* MythTV 0.21 system.
|
|
|
|
* Live TV playback is dependant on gstreamers ability to play whatever format your video is capture in. This is
|
|
known to work at least with DVB-T mpeg2-ts broadcasts
