It was suggested I post a link to the compiled dongle with my recent patches. Thare are three UI Viewport patches and one new date and duration formatting patch.
For details see the following on the mvpmc-devel list: o "[PATCH] Viewport and New Date Format patches V2 (git-ified)" o "[PATCH] Restrict MythTV Scheduling GUI to the confines of the user defined viewport" The dongle with these 4 patches applied to the git tree as of Jan 25, 2008 is available for download here: http://www.dvhart.com/~dvhart/mvpmc/dongle.bin.mvpmc-dvhart04 In summary the patches do the following: o update the main menu and mythtv screens' widgets to place themselves relative to the user defined viewport. This prevents widgets from getting placed off screen if you have a lot of overscan, or if you use the zoom feature on your widescreen tv to use the full width of the screen, without distorting the aspect ratio. o adds command line options and settings entries for "Friendly Date Format" and "Duration in Minutes". The will present dates and duration in the following formats: Current Default: 2007-12-07 20:59:00 - 22:01:00 With Patches: Default (eliminates seconds): 2007-12-07 20:59 - 22:01 12 Hour: 2007-12-07 08:59 PM - 10:01 PM friendly-date: Fri Dec 07 2007, 20:29 - 23:01 PM duration-minutes: 2007-12-07 20:59 (62 Min) Friendly-date + 12 Hour: Fri Dec 07 2007, 08:59 PM - 10:01 PM friendly-date + 12 Hour + duration-minutes: Fri Dec 07 2007, 08:59 PM (62 Min) My personal favorite for what it's worth ;) I would appreciate any additional testing other users can provide so I can get these patches into the git repository. I have been using the first three patches successfully for a month now, and have had good success with the most recent patch for the past few days.
