Updated mythtv packages fix metadata lookup changes

Publication date: 30 Mar 2021
Modification date: 30 Mar 2021
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 8

Description

Since March 2021 the MythTV metadata lookup changed:
MythTV metadata lookup uses thetvdb.com as source for TV show information and
artwork. TheTVDB is changing their business model to require a subscription
payment to use the API. The existing API will be shut down around March 2021.

MythTV fixes/31 and master (v32-Pre) have been updated to support two new sources.
For metadata lookups on TV shows to continue working, you need to upgrade your
system. To be able to make the new selection, both backend and frontend must
be upgraded (if you use separate machines for backend and frontend).
