Ok, so let's finish the whole history, let's try to start again, and dismiss any problems in communications.

Resume :

a. this guy http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...9&postcount=23 posted that mythTV was crashing.

b. I gave him the same answer you're going to receive: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...6&postcount=24

c. you are right, that I didn't look into it, I gave a answer based on history projects not on actual test (this could be my fault) so I could have ended everything here by saying simple : we are not going to support it.

d. you entered and if "I read your statement above about mythTv (first post on this thread) and so on...

e. we went under a flame about this.


---------
So now it's time to look forward, I will measure more carefully my words, sometimes I'm too eager to give fast feedback, and I do mistakes as anyone.

I apologize for sounding like "sending you away" but I do not apologize for not supporting mythTV.

There's one thing that bothers me a lot (not related to you) that I would like people to understand where we try to make the difference:

a. we don;t do dirty hacks.

So, I can assure you there's a couple of hacks we could do to improve the software.
Example : we could kill the non-fullscreen video, and open mplayer fullscreen twice, to avoid : the wrong aspect and the performance. But we chosed not to do so, and then we pay.

So we can indeed make it work (like it's working on the other media players) but it would need a hack (to use gnome things inside our code) or even to create a specific parser for it (not a big deal, but still a specific code) and we are avoiding it. So we will answer the guys from the other media serves indeed, but not going to add support to any of them in particular. That is the whole point : /

But no worries, not hurt feelings then?
