I finally uploaded mythfrontend 0.20.2. I have a crappy upload speed, so it took about 25 minutes. This is the universal binary from here. Hopefully it’ll download faster from my site. Don’t link directly to the file, if you do anti leech will be turned on.

Hot linking has been disabled. Also moved the file. Link has been updated.
Update
You can find svn packages here. For intel only unless otherwise stated in the filename. If you’re using leopard, your remote should work in all of those svn packages.
To use the svn versions your backend will have to be using a svn version too. If you’re using mythbuntu then you can follow these instructions for upgrading to the svn version. Might work with the official ubuntu too.

Thanks from me as well. I couldn’t download the new MythTV frotnend from synerpad as it kept timing out. Much appreciated!
thanks buddy!
Thanks for posting myth front end for mac! Now if i could just get it to launch. Currently hangs because i entered the wrong IP for my back end! Can anyone help??
In a terminal run “mv .mythtv .mythtv_back”. In your home folder. Or run nano .mythtv/mysql.txt, then you don’t have to re run the setup.
Is it just me, or does the Apple Remote not work in Leopard with MythTV?
The remote doesn’t work for me in leopard either.
Looks like the original remote ticket has been reopened on the MythTV site. There is a code snippet in there on how to fix it. I was hoping that you’d have a chance to try that code, and post it if it works.

Is there anything that one needs to do on the server side to allow another front end to access the server. I have a MythDora 4.0 system up and running at 192.168.1.30 and can successfully ping / ssh / http to this server from my Mac. However, when I run MythFrontend.app, I get a question if the “master backend server” is running at this address as soon as I try to watch either live video or look at historically recorded videos. Any guidance is much appreciated. Thx… Rudy
Can you access mysql from your mac?
Most likely mysql isn’t setup correctly, try editing /etc/mysql/my.cnf (The path may be different to the file, might be /etc/my.cnf.)
Comment out skip-networking by putting a # in front of it, and then for the bind-address, put the correct ip address.
Then you need to restart mysql, /etc/init.d/mysql restart.
Also look at the following links, if that doesn’t fix it.

Any chance we can get a newer build? I’ve got a linux backend running, but the server is running protocol version 36, and this front-end is running version 31. What I found in IRC and online is that you can’t tell the server to use the older protocol, and getting “a newer front-end is easier.”
Thoughts?
You can download svn version 15283 from the below link.

I currently use Remote Buddy with MythFrontend (Intel mac, universal build). During playback, there is a ~15 second delay between remote commands and the corresponding effect on the internal player. If I send a second command within about ~5 secons, both commands are triggered simultaneously. However, neither the keyboard, nor the apple remote with Remote Buddy turned off exhibit this delay.
Would it be possible for you to compile a universal build without the apple remote support to see if this is interfering with remote buddy? Or give me a few tips on how to do it myself? Thanks-
could you build a universal (or just intel even) of the 21-fixes branch? i can’t get it to compile on my leopard box…
thanks!
I can’t compile the 21-fixes branch either on leopard, at least last time I tried to it didn’t work.Just tried and it worked, uploading it right now.
Will be available at the below link after I’m done uploading it.

Any chance of a PowerPC or a Universal build of the 21 fixes branch?
You can download a ppc version of 0.21 from here. I’ll upload the file on my site too, after its done downloading.
