This package replaces the previous 'mythtv' AUR package. It has been renamed to comply with Arch's VCS package guidelines.

I hope to update the various mythplugins AUR packages soon

python-future is not needed anymore. BTW, there is an alternate method to build from source for MythTV using cmake and ninja. I refer you to that readme. It works on Archlinux but you need your dependencies installed first and run the cmakes as sudo. https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/README.CMake.md

python-future seems only to be a make dependency, I've tried manually removing it from the PKGBUILD as a test, and for me, it seems to build / run fine without it. (More testing is probably required).

If possible, please remove the make dependency on python-furure/ make the package working without python-future:

WARNING: python-future package is not compatible with Python 3.13

The python-future project was created in 2013 to attempt to save Python from the schism of version incompatibility that was threatening to tear apart the language (as Perl 6 contributed to the death of Perl).

That time is now past. Thanks to a huge porting effort across the Python community, Python 3 eventually thrived. Python 2 reached its end of life in 2020 and the python-future package should no longer be necessary. Use it to help with porting legacy code to Python 3 but don’t depend on it for new code.

If you use packages that depend on it, please contact maintainers and/or upstream of these packages and try to work out whether this dependency is really needed.

Regards and thanks for this package!

An update happened overnight and master has upgraded ffmpeg. I used yay -S mythtv-git --editmenu to clean build and change from fixes/34 to master.

An update happened overnight and I was able to successfully build mythtv-git today. I can't test it as all my backends are v35-master

There is a PR to fix the build issue with libx265 : https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/pull/970

EDIT: The PR has been merged in fixes/34. The build issue is fixed upstream.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I am still not able to install. I've added the paramater suggested by @hamelg under configuration in the PKGBUILD and applied the patch acccording to the instructions by @jfabernathy. Now I get this error:

It seems that just removing x264 from the configuration in PKGBUILD works and performs just fine, if anybody wants a simpler workaround.

@glenb77 Thanks, I think I did this right. I downloaded the patch to the same directory as the PKGBUILD file, removed the --extra-cflags mentioned earlier, and then did:

makepkg -o
patch -d src/mythtv/ -p1 < libx265.patch
makepkg -ef
makepkg -i

mythfrontend works at least.

glenb77 commented on 2024-11-11 03:13 (UTC)

@jfabernathy, built for me. i just did makepkg -o to get source and not compile, applied the patch, then makepkg -e to build after the file is patched.
