Me TV 1.1.3 released

Post author By Scott Evans
Post date January 10, 2010

In this release the following issues have been addressed…

Use GLib/Gio instead GNet (LP: #503214)

Removed deprecated libgnome/ui dependency (LP: #503219)

Applied patch from Ludwig Nussel to fix compile error on glibmm 2.16.1

Added PES type 0x80 to be a recognised video stream

Fix for FTBFS on Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (LP: #503910)

Removed GTK+ 2.16 requirement from UI file

EPG now honours the version number field and updates EPG events

The main differences here are that the dependencies for libgnome* have been removed and now is using libgtk* When you update to this version you will be prompted to either remove or update the SQLite database (Channel/EPG information)

Post author By Scott Evans
Post date January 4, 2010

Hmm… it appears I’m a few days late! but anyway on the 1st of January, Me TV 1.1.0 was released, unfortunately this had a few regressions in it! so version 1.1.1 was unofficially released soon after. So the so the source code is up on Launchpad (Me TV) and I have also uploaded to both the stable & my ppa’s

Remember, as this is an update… Please do not file bugs againts the project Me TV on Ubuntu! instead use the bug report on launchpad for Me-TV instead. 😉

Me TV Development Wiki

A wiki page has been set up on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeTV_Testing to confirm feature functionality prior to moving towards version 1.0 Your help in testing features and reporting back on the wiki page would be appreciated. Currently version 0.10.0~beta4 has resolved most bugs that have been reported against this project, but more testing is needed… So if you have either a USB DVB device or a PCI DVB device and are using another digital television program could I ask for you to just give Me TV a try and report any issues that you may have! (imaging that last sentence in a groveling voice!)

Me TV is available from Launchpad (for both current stable & development versions) at https://launchpad.net/me-tv

Me TV 0.9.5 Relesed & Ubuntu Karmic updated!

Post author By Scott Evans
Post date July 8, 2009

Today I have just released Me TV 0.9.5 this update fixes some regressions that had been noticed by people in Europe (features that aren’t available here in Australia!) I also got confirmation today that version 0.9.4 of Me TV has been included into Ubuntu Karmic. So although not the latest release, it’s better than the out dated release that is still in Debian Sid (me-tv-0.7.16-1) the update for Debian to be updated was released a while back but has yet to make it into Sid (?) So that’s great news for the small team that is Me TV! (as I always end these blog entries with URLs) for more detail on Me TV please visit https://edge.launchpad.net/me-tv 🙂
