![]() ![]() However I'm ultimately watching less & less TV as I get older. But having said that I only use it for recording off the TV and checking what's on that day. knowing which shows I've already recorded etc. I use MythTV to record from Satellite (as being in the UK, most of our TV that isn't through Sky is still unencrypted) still in full 1080i/p HD, as corresponding IPTV services from broadcasters still don't match that in terms of resolution & bitrate still. It's been a member of the family for many years!!! Plugins to support streaming would be great but with DRM issues it may be difficult to get the 2k and 4k streams (with HRD) on non-certified hardware.Īgain, I'm hugely supportive of the MythTV community and thankful for the software. With KODI it's flawless and the picture is perfect. I can't get it calibrated correctly using blackpoint / whitepoint patterns. The picture is either washed out or way too dark. I just can't seem to find a combination in MythTV that works (TV vs video card output vs MythTV). I've been playing around with KODI as my frontend because I've been fighting MythTV with Full Range vs Limited RGB output. KODI is solid with playback of nearly everything with HDR implemented on capable hardware. Make integration out of the box rather than with plugins (that may or may not get updated). Part of me wonders if MythTV should partner with KODI and establish themselves as the 'official' DVR/backend for KODI and let that group focus on the frontend. The UI is dated and there are much more dynamic options out there with other programs but I don't know of anything that does the DVR portion as well as MythTV. UHD (I don't have hardware that can play 4K yet so I'm not sure how well this works).Making this hardware combo bulletproof would be great. Restarting the frontend / backend makes it work again. It's a great pair with the HDHR but starting in about v30.0 I've found the two have not been as solid together with MythTV randomly not seeing the tuners. I've not had cable for 20+ years and everything is broadcast or streaming. Some are limitations imposed by DRM and proprietary streaming services but others seem to be from lack of interest and fewer developers (please don't take that as a negative comment to the Devs and testers!!! They have done an amazing job and I understand that people have lives beyond open source projects). There have been some great improvements but at the same time it does seem to lack features of other options out there. I've used MythTV as my main go-to for OTA TV and movies (DVD. I've been thinking about this for a while now. ![]()
