media-tv cleanup

I woke up early this morning (3:30) and started going through Gentoo bugs. I got a lot of crap in the media-tv category either bumped, poked or fixed, but there’s still some stuff to do.

Just a heads up that I know that LIRC, DVB firmware, IVTV and MythTV (to a degree) all have some stupid issues that need to get sorted out.

I need to slap my TV cards back in my box and get testing again. Ever since I got my TIvo I haven’t even *looked* at recording TV with Linux anymore. It’s just that nice (and simple).

Anyway, no worries, we’ll get you taken care of.

One thing I’m thinking of doing is getting rid of some of the crufty, ancient applications that are in the tree.  There are some TV apps that are really, really old (3+ years) that haven’t been updated, and are pretty ugly.  We have so many of them, too, I think it might be simpler to trim it down to the ones that are useful and/or supported.

    Ebuilds for mythtv-0.22 alpha (which is there) and all the plugins (mythvideo, mythnews, etc) would be massively appreciated, and very awesome…
