After a year of development, the MythTV 35 home media center platform was released, allowing you to turn your desktop PC into a TV, VCR, music center, photo album, DVD recording and viewing station. The project code is written in C++ and is distributed under the GPLv2 license.
The MythTV architecture is based on the division of the backend for storing or capturing video (IPTV, DVB cards, etc.) and the frontend for generating the interface (web interface and Qt-based GUI). The frontend is capable of working simultaneously with several backends, which can be launched both on the local system and on external computers. Extended functionality is implemented through plugins. Currently, two sets of plugins are available - official and unofficial. The range of capabilities covered by the plugins ranges from integration with various online services to tools for working with a web camera and organizing video communication between PCs.
In the new version:
- An option to select a language for audio messages has been added to the settings, which complements the setting for selecting a language for interface elements.
- Added support for parsing information about IPTV channels in EXTINF format ("EXTINF:0,Channel_Title").
- Information about new satellites has been added to the satellite channel scanning settings.
- Added support for IPTV HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) channels encrypted using the AES-128 algorithm
- Added support for Qt 6.6 library.
- The capabilities of the built-in web interface (Web App, http://host:6544/) have been significantly expanded.
- Support for the separate MythWeb web interface has been discontinued.
- The mythtv-setup initial setup wizard, previously declared obsolete, has been replaced by a built-in web interface (http://host:6544/setupwizard).
