On a recent system update I saw that mythtv-0.26 had gone stable. Since I've got a small cluster and mythtv requires uniform upgrade, I've masked it for the time being. Before I unmask it and let it upgrade...

1 - I need to make sure I have the TIMEZONE table. I believe I already checked this, and am OK, but I need to double-check.

2 - A LOT of people here were reporting multiple problems with mythtv-0.26. I believe there were runaway process problems, channel guide problems, etc.

What are people's experiences and impressions of the current mythtv-0.26?

To be honest, I'm not that fond of mythtv-0.25.3 - commercial zap editing stinks, to the point where I usually give up, like with "Ghost Shark" last night.

Code:
ouka ~ $ equery list mythtv
 * Searching for mythtv ...
[IP-] [  ] media-tv/mythtv-0.26.0_p20130630:0
ouka ~ $

I see the channel guide problem, it gets it for a few days and then stops. It's worse than before.

I use MythTV for live TV. I'd say there is a slight improvement over 0.25. However, I have to do rm /usr/bin/mythlogserver every time MythTV is [re]compiled. I experience various problems when mythlogserver is running.

I wonder if the feedback (2) here is reflective of the Gentoo MythTV community, the ones having problems, or the ones having problems and using the forums.

I've been running it for a while and I do not see any issues at all.

The frontend was slow, but I switched to a more modern theme and that solved that issue.
