MCP is available for testing on Ubuntu and Xubuntu 22.04 LTS Beta. If some folks would like to help test MCP on these beta releases, MCP can be installed using:
The bind-address line in mythtv.cnf was previously not changed if the user modified it to something unexpected. Now, the line will be corrected even if the user changes it incorrectly.
The asterisk syntax for the bind-address line in mythtv.cnf is now used as described on the mailing list.
Changes have been made to MCP for the upcoming MythTV v34 release. Thanks to the MythTV developers, v34 will include a web based interface for setting up the backend. The MCP changes are a result of this new web app. The MCP PPA will be updated after v34 is released. If some folks would like to test MCP now with v34, MCP is available for Ubuntu 22.04 using the testing PPA shown below.
A new entry has been added to the MCP wiki for a known issue. This is an issue for users who want to install the latest MCP version and to use mythtv-setup with v34 or an older MythTV version. The commands shown below can be used to launch mythtv-setup. The xhost command below does not grant permanent permission.
Starting with version 20240216, MCP no longer has a MythTV Backend Setup button that launches mythtv-setup. This has been replaced with the new web app for configuring the backend starting with MythTV v34, and mythtv-setup is now deprecated. Using the web app is recommended. If using mythtv-setup, the command line can be used to stop the backend (omit if not running), give permission to X for the mythtv user, and to switch the user to mythtv and run mythtv-setup.
