Call for Testers: MythTV 0.23 for FreeBSD

[Torfinn Ingolfsen]

Hi,

Ok, I have tried the myttv 0.23 port now. The port compiles and
installs fine.
The programs mythtv-setup, mythfilldatabase and mythfrontend works
("works" in this specific paragraph means that the program can be
started, and that navigating the menus works).

General comments:
mythtv-setup: the channel scanner doesn't work with my PVR-500 card; it
tries to use "traditional" channel numbers (E5, E2, etc) for tuning,
but the driver (pvrxxx by usleep) only accepts frequencies.

mythfilldatabase: works, but needs a newer version of p5-xmltv than the
one in ports for the grabber I am using (tv_grab_no_gfeed) to work.

So you will have to set up everything manually, this time
too.

After configuring everything, I tried "watch TV" in mythfrontend. It
didn't work. Here are the relevant parts of /var/log/mythbackend.log:

Hmm, didn't we see the same error "Not ivtv or pvrusb2 or hdpvr driver" in the initial days of the 0.22 port too?
