I know my MythTV box is a critical piece of infrastructure so I have to be a bit cautious about any changes, so I'm thinking a week is a reasonable time to wait for the dust to settle.<br>I haven't see too many critical problems posted on the list, (right?) so I think I will upgrade this weekend.<br>
<br>Any other people upgraded? I know most people who post are having small issues, but it would be good to hear positive feedback along with what type of system and country.<br>eg DVB-T, AU etc..<br><br>BTW thanks Devs..<br>

</font><br></blockquote><div><br>I'm running 2 backends (one FE/ slave BE) with 4 additional frontends. All were upgraded to 0.23-fixes about two weeks ago from (the apparently buggy version of) 0.23 that I had installed from Mythbuntu. All boxes are ubuntu 10.10. The upgrade to 0.24 via mythbuntu's autobuilds went very well and was extremely fast! Here are the issues I've had so far:<br>
<br>1) Three of the five machines (A Dell Optiplex 745, Dell Latitude E6510 and Dell 1909 all-in-one touchscreen) needed me to re-scan audio and select an appropriate device to get sound. Prior to the scan If I tried to watch anything, it would have no sound and the myth FE would hang on exit, having to force quit. All boxes use analog audio.<br>
<br>2) My FE / slave BE combo is connected to an HD-PVR and controls my STB via firewire. The day after the upgrade my other FE's wouldn't connect, complaining that they couldn't get the protocol version. One FE even said it had the wrong version of mysql. A reboot of the combo box fixed the issue and it hasn't returned yet.<br>
<br>3) Another HD-PVR issue - Apparently the timeout value for tuning to the HD-PVR needs to be increased. It seems to take longer to lock onto the signal than it did in .23, and I get the "you should have received a signal by now" error message, only to have the box lock on a moment later and tune to tv. And yes, I'm one of those heathens that watches a lot of live tv.<br>
<br>4) My combo box's FE process has segfaulted once.<br><br>That's it for issues, as far as I can tell. Core usability works fine, mythvideo plays all the .iso DVD images I have mapped to a Windows share over Samba, and the new built-in metadata downloader works really well to get all the movie information. Upgrading to .23 (not a typo, see above) broke mythexport and LIRC registers my IR remote keypresses twice, but I haven't gone back to see if those issues have magically been fixed by .24. In addition, mythweb used to be awfully slow and apache2 would spike the CPU whenever I clicked a link; now it's very speedy.<br>
