[Bug 982272] Re: Enable libcec support in mythtv

 

It needs 1.0.5, and precise has 1.0.3 (as does debian unstable)

The hardware manufacturer has a PPA with 1.0.5, but the packaging is
slightly different to the upstream one and doens't cleanly install over
it.

Title:
  Enable libcec support in mythtv

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Fix Committed
Status in “libcec” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Mythtv 0.25 supports using libcec (http://libcec.pulse-eight.com/) and
  a special USB adapter to let the TV remote (rather than an IR blaster)
  control mythtv.

  Enabling this just involves adding 'libcec-dev' to Build-Depends in
  v0.25, except the libcec version in Precise is a straight import from
  Debian, and that version is too old, so requires updating too.

  I'm using this on a new mythtv box I've set up, and apart from
  requiring me to use the source code to work out what keybindings to
  configure, it works quite well.
