Which MythTV version are you using? Is it the latest v31 version from the PPA? Which method are you using in VLC to view live TV? Do the HDHomeRun Prime virtual channels numbers work in VLC? If I open a browser and go to http://<hdhomerun prime device ip>/lineup.html, I see this: lineup_screenshot.p...

Mytharchive is working fine for me with v31 on Ubuntu 20.04 with MythTV and Mytharchive installed using MCP.

If you prefer to minimize the need to use the command line, Mythbuntu Control Panel is available. Either way works.

A plugins tab has been added, and the developmental tab has been removed. I will update the wiki shortly.

I noticed MythWeather has some Perl scripts located in /usr/share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts.

v31 backend takes 30+ sec to shutdown! The backend can shutdown much faster from the outside if you don't mind doing a little manual systemd work. From Stephen W on the mailing list Aug 2 2020: My fix is to tell systemd to use a small script to shut down mythbackend. It sends two kill -15 signals o...

It looks like there was some recent work on Mythmusic. See http://lists.mythtv.org/pipermail/mytht ... 05293.html. Also, see viewtopic.php?f=36&t=4039&p=19790&hilit=rip#p19790.

Leanfront on non-4K 3rd gen Fire TV Stick with Comcast cablecard HD appears to be working fine. I just bought one and tried it.

Edit: Fixed grammar

Not universal, but TiVo remotes are fairly high quality. I'm currently using a remote from a TiVo Roamio.

Mythbuntu Control Panel may help. MCP is compatible with Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.

MCP now has three methods for the user to select from to have the backend start after the network is up when the computer is booting. As described in many instances on the forum and mailing list, it is important to have the backend start after the network is up when other frontends on the network ne...

The MythTV version from the Mythbuntu PPA typically has many important fixes.
