The open source Media Center application MythTV has been updated to version 0.26. This release is described as a modest release but does include support for HTTP Live Streaming, performance improvements and bug fixes.

I am going to be setting up a MythTV box at some point in the future with the idea of using it as a backend of XBMC.

0.26 is now available for download. This is a more modest release than those of the recent past with many of the changes being internal reorganisations required to support future developments.

Notable changes include:

  • HTTP Live Streaming playback and recording
  • Conversion of internal times to UTC allowing smoother transitions around daylight savings changes
  • Several performance improvements to the UI
  • A greater number of translations (nine) are 100% complete for this release with a few more very near to completion. This number should grow by the time of the 0.26.1 point release.
  • The usual bug fixes and incremental improvements

A more complete list of changes and bug fixes can be found in the Release Notes

0.27 is now under development and should be more exciting release, there will be more about that later.
