v35 on Fedora (from rpmfusion)

[pmaloney]

Any clue on when this will be available or how to check?

EDIT: Looks like v35 is on rawhide (dev repo of next build of Fedora).

I updated to the Fedora 42 beta and v35 was available.

Trying to update 41 from 42/rawhide repos wasn't going to work.

If you want to stay on Fedora 41 until F42 is official it's straight forward to build from source these days:

For dependencies and source:

Code: Select all

mkdir ~/build
cd ~/build
sudo dnf install git ansible
git clone https://github.com/mythtv/ansible.git
git clone https://github.com/mythtv/mythtv.git
cd ansible
./mythtv.yml --limit=localhost
cd ~/build/mythtv
git checkout fixes/35
sudo cmake --preset qt5
sudo cmake --build build-qt5

Setup mythtv user. Below is how I do it:

Code: Select all

sudo groupadd --gid 1006 mythtv
sudo useradd -m --home-dir /home/mythtv --uid 1006 --gid mythtv --shell /bin/bash mythtv
sudo usermod -aG mythtv $USER

Setup database:

Code: Select all

# mariadb-server should be installed
sudo systemctl enable --now mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_install  #The instructions during the command prompt tell you what to enter.

Disabling the firewall makes things easier for mythtv

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl disable --now firewalld

Setup the backend systemd service. Multiple ways to do this. One way is to create the file:

Code: Select all

/etc/systemd/system/mythtv-backend.service

NOTE! the mythtv executables are in /usr/local/bin/

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=MythTV Backend
Documentation=https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythbackend
After=mysql.service network.target
 
[Service]
User=mythtv
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/mythtv/additional.args
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mythbackend --quiet --syslog local7 $ADDITIONAL_ARGS
StartLimitBurst=10
StartLimitInterval=10m
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=1
 
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl enable --now mythtv-backend.service

At the point you can complete the setup with the web setup app;

Code: Select all

http://localhost:6544

At first the web app will complain about the mythconverg not being setup. If you click on Test Database it will tell you how to set it up. Select the radio button for mariadb and follow the instructions. Then click save and go back to the top and restart the backend. Now complete the setup as normal

What are the key differences in the setup process for MythTV on Fedora 41 versus Fedora 42 once it's officially released?
