MythTV 0.21 Released

kormoc writes "The new release has lots of new stuff, notably: autodiscovery (less manual configuration of new front-ends), storage groups (no need for LVM/etc), support for multiple recordings on one DVB/ATSC multiplex, a couple of new plugins, some new deinterlacing / video display options, and many, many other things. The release notes page in the wiki has the list of what's changed, but it's currently a couple thousand checkins out of date. Grab the release from the download section and please at least try to read the docs before asking questions. The binary packages should hopefully be updated to 0.21 soon."

No need for LVM?

LVM may not be needed for Myth, but as a home server/media center, its important. I LVM a RAID-1 set on my mythbox, and carve out space for pictures, mp3s, etc.

I'm confused about something. . .

Ok, let me see if I understand this right. . .

People were upset that Zap2It wasn't giving free listings (and they'd rather not pay for the pay service), so they setup another *pay* service as an alternative? Why not just pay for Zap2It? Were they asking for an outrageous fee for the listings?

I mean, I could see it being reasonable to pay a small monthly fee for listings - I mean, it's gotta cost some money to assemble the listing data, and then the cost of running servers and Internet connections to publish those listings. Why create a non-free competitor to Zap2It, instead of just using Zap2It?
