[ATrpms-users] MythTV 'bijou' 20100323

[Yeechang Lee]

The 'bijou' 20100323 distribution of MythTV 0.22 will soon be
available in atrpms-testing.

New changes include:
* Updated to ATrpms r228.
* A complete backport of the greatly improved 0.23 audio upmixer
  code. Supersedes #6975. Thanks to Jean-Yves Avenard for pointing me
  in the right direction.
* Related to the above, prevent bogus AC3 channel-code flags from
  disabling AC3 audio (#8030).
* More TCP keepalive/idle frontend wakeup delay fixes (#7836, #8024).
* Updates to the UK fullscan parameters (#7688; in -fixes).

Prior changes include:
* Adjustments to ThreadedFileWriter's buffers. Significantly improves
  recordings' integrity when destination disks are stressed, at the
  cost of increased RAM usage. (That said, on my frontend/backend I've
  recorded four HD streams at once without swapping.) My work.
* Fix VDPAU video not resuming after xscreensaver (#7641).
* Fix for judder seen in various European 720p HD channels (#7481).
* Fix for MythVideo's bookmark dialog box killing keyboard input by
  changing focus window (#7741).
* Fix for Jumppoints not working in MythVideo or when OSD is present
  (#7322, #7939).
* Automatically scale number of user jobs based on system load
  (#2782).
* Permit bringing up both Watch Recordings menus with just MENU, and
  add Watched toggle to Playlist options (my variant on #6814).
* Chapter support in MKV videos (#7892, r23231, r23299).
* Improved detection of audio tracks when transcoding (my variant on
  #1841).
* Much faster seeking in videos, especially in MythVideo without
  seektables (#7521, #7935).
* BT.709 and studio-level colors for VDPAU playback (#7307). For the
  time being please follow the instructions in the patch notes, and
  not the mythtv-users mailing list, to activate.
* Blu-ray subtitle support (#6748).
* Reduce verbosity of log messages (#6730, #7982).
* Improvements to BlackCurves OSD theme (#7911, #7995).
* Fix to %YEARSTARS% when either year or stars is missing (my version
  of #7992).
* Various ATSC closed-caption fixes (#7738, #7739, #7766, #7775,
  #7776).
* Miscellaneous, mostly video-related fixes (#7252, #7397, #7409,
  #7454, #7759, #7827).
