is anyone here in the UK still using #MythTV?
my ancient server went bang, and I'm trying to rebuild, but finding a compatible dbv-t solution seems really hard.

all my old cards are incompatible with my new motherboard.

MythTV wiki page on compatible hardware looks … kind of abandoned?

I spotted today that my #mythtv-status package was failing to build from source in #Debian. This has caused me to spend some time finishing off a major change to how it is installed, split out the Debian packaging to a different repo (using git-buildpackage).

While having upstream (me) and Debian (also me) code in different repositories will cause over head (for me), it is probably better in general.

Probably tomorrow I'll release the tarball, .deb and upload the new packaging repo to Salsa.

I don't know if it's #Debian 11, or my hardware, or because my house is under a wicked spell, but if I switch my "tv" away from my "tv server" it now disables that display and doesn't enable it if you switch back. nothing less than a reboot seems to do that.

Still don't have anything like a working #mythtv. after all that work – debian 11, latest mythtv – it's the same. so I suppose a cap must have popped on the motherboard or something; that's all I have left (unless wicked spell, which…)

#HiveMind:

I'm looking for suggestions for a #USB #infrared receiver compatible with #LIRC. Everything I can find seems to be a big clunky box on the end of a long cable, but I'm looking for something tiny with the sort of form-factor of the bluetooth dongle in this picture (but obviously IR rather than BT!)

Any recommendations gratefully received! Thank you!
