News 7-07-08 The changelog has been updated to reflect "Bone Marrow". Please consider the use of the torrent and don't forget to keep your client running after the download. Much thanks for all testers and contributioners. Special thanks to members of the community that understand it takes time to do what we do. Onward to R6! 7-06-08 KnoppMyth R5.5 should start hitting the mirrors soon! Be sure to read tjc's excellent update guide! More to come (updated changelog, etc.)... 4-01-08 Normally, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". But, I've been told it is ok to share this information. Last week, I was in Las Vegas. While at the bar in the Mirage, my friend and I were talking. He was asking how the my project was going and I was filling him in... Unbeknownst to either of us, our conversation was being listened to by the fellow next to us. After a few minutes, the fellow sitting next to us introduced himself as Jeff Chaucer, Senior Manager of Windows Media Center Edition. Jeff, goes on to tell us that he overheard what we were talking about and he is interested in learning more about KnoppMyth (I may not care for Microsoft, but my parents taught me not to be rude.). So, I tell him how I started the project, etc. "Interesting" he says. Jeff then goes on to tell me that Microsoft is looking to make changes to MCE and if I'd be interested in joining the team. I tell him that I'm happy with my current employer and that if I were to be a Microsoft employee that I imagine my working on KnoppMyth would be frowned upon. He says "No, not at all. Microsoft is looking to change it's image and there would be no issues with me continuing to work on an Open Source project. The only sipulation is that it doesn't interfare with an employee's day to day duties." Interesting I thought, but I declined. Jeff insisted I think about it and to contact him in a few days. We exchanged information and he paid our tab. I got a call from Jeff yesterday and he has sweetened the deal. Not only will Microsoft double my income, I can work on KnoppMyth 30% of my time. In addition, I'll have full access to their hardware labs to test KnoppMyth. So, starting April 21st, I'll be a full time Microsoft employee. 3-08-08 Been awhile... But not to worry, The Linux Media Entertainment Distribution is stilll here! MythTV 0.21 has been released! Again, not to worry, we should have a release ready within a week. Really, since the release of R5F27, I've been working on the next R5. I wanted to get it ready and out of the way so we could work in earnest on R6. The plan was to have it ready so when 0.21 was release, all I'd need to do was add it and have a release ready. Unfortunately things didn't go so smoothly. But I'm very happy with what we have now! I just need to button a few items down and once the testers give me the thumbs up, we'll have a public release. A few goodies to look forward to... Latest MythTV (of course)! 2.6.23-chw-4 (2.6.23.16 w/ several patches). Support for more remotes. The Tweaker (an R6 feature (and no, this didn't distract from R6 development))! Movie Trailers from the menu! Screensaver! ALSA 1.0.16. Latest V4L/DVB modules. I'll have the full changelog up once the release is ready. Well, I better get back to it! 1-03-08 I hope the new year is treating everyone well! I'm starting the year off well, as I received 3 HP dc7700 from HP. These systems will be used in the development of R6! Much thanks to Aland Adams and HP for the development boxes. Well better get back to it, we're behind schedule as is... 11-04-07 As you can see, the site has gone under the knife. I hope to bring further improvements soon. In case you missed it, you can find an interview I did with A Geek and his Wife on their site. 10-30-07 As you can see by the link on the left, KnoppMyth has been invited to SCALE 6X! This will be KnoppMyth's fourth year at SCALE! R6 will makes it's official debut at SCALE 6X, Dale and I hope to see you there so we can hand you a copy. 9-11-07 KnoppMyth is featured on the frontpage at DistroWatch! Within the last 6 months, KnoppMyth got as high as 122th. When we all know it is #1. So, hit this link and get us there! 9-9-07 I'm happy to annouce the release of KnoppMyth R5F27. R5F27 includes the latest version of MythTV 0.20.2-fixes, in addition to other goodies that you've come to expect from KnoppMyth. While I've worked hard of this release, I could not have done it without my Testers. Thank you very very much. Special thanks to Mythic.tv and Better Access. While they have a special interest in improving KnoppMyth, the work they contribute help all users of KnoppMyth. If you are looking for a complete system or just parts, please consider them. Thanks. So where can you find the ISO? Please use the torrent (Get KnoppMyth). Mythic.tv and several friends have been kind enough to provide some high speed seeds. In addition, you can find it here, here and here. The other mirrors will be online shortly. Don't forget to verify the md5sum! |
