The MythTV Development team has announced that the first release candidate for MythTV version .24 is now available for download. This means that the full version is not far behind. The Dev team has adopted a much more aggressive development cycle of late, possibly due to the long period between .21 and .22. New features of note(at least to us) include:
- A new themeable on screen display
- Audio – Support for 24 bit audio and HD audio formats, output up to 7.1, autopopulation of soundcard devices in settings
- Beginnings of Blu-Ray support
- Experimental support for CrystalHD hardware accelerated video decoding
- Rework and Stabilization of DVD Playback
- Support for ISOs over storage groups, which was missing from 0.23
- Add a custom rule example for re-recording SD shows when/if it re-airs in HD
- Enabling backend as a source of internet content sources, scripts, and grabber search requests
- Allow the scheduler to attempt to rerecord a failed recording
- MythNetvision now has grabbers for BBC iPlayer, Hulu, Revision3, The WB, PBS, Comedy Central, TedTalks, etc.
- MythWeather now supports wunderground as a source
