Recent Channel Change Notifications
Is it just me or have others noticed a pop-up on recording playback
informing us of some channel scanning required. It's not part of the
recording as I have skipped back and it is no longer there. It also shows
on recordings done some time ago as well.

Does anybody know what the mechanism that is allowing this to happen?

In any case, it just goes to show how clever Mythtv is.

I have never heard of that before. What form does the popup take?

Just speculation ... but maybe original posters tv (even though in non-tv mode for myth playback) is displaying the network broadcasters message that the tv needs re-tuning to accomodate any network changes.

This would explain why the pop-up is not there when the recording in question is replayed.

Re: Recent Channel Change Notifications [ In reply to ]
It's not the TV as it is a pre Freeview model. I've been told by my better
half that we are also getting it on a External DSE/Zinel Freeview box on
another TV in the house.

The popup is a dark blue outline (with white trim?), a lighter blue
transparent background with white writing. I skiped a recording 50+ minutes
ahead as soon as it started playing tonight and it was still there. Its a
standard Mythbuntu 12.04 with latest 0.27 + fixes as of this afternoon, and
the Mythcenter 1.7 Wide theme.

Does anybody use MythNotify? What do those popups look like? Maybe I've
done something in the past that made it work?

BTW, I'm in Auckland so the Rotorua reference that comes up in the message
made me think that it was more generic to the whole country.

This is embedded in the MHEG stream and kicks in when the recording
playback starts.
