Inspired by the profiling work on Abiword by Hubert Figuiere, I installed Kcachegrind to try and profile mmsv2. His two posts on his blog explains very well how to find and fix bottlenecks in an application. What I thought was really cool about Kcachegrind, compared to other profiling solutions I have tried, was the way it handled threads and C++ perfectly. Guess being a KDE project helps a lot in this area 🙂

PVR150 working!
Somehow I got my PVR150 working. I was looking into why it didn’t work, and loaded the modules as normal when I booted. Suddently all the channels worked. Strange, seems it just needed to be worn in? 😉

Got a Hauppauge PVR150
So I finally managed to get myself a tv-card so I will be adding support for that to mms in the near future. I have currently one problem with it though, it seems that the sound is not working on all channels 🙁

mmsv2 has been featured in the german linux magazine linuxuser. This should fit right in with the 1.0.5 release within the next couple of days.

mmsv2 1.1.0 and 1.0.5
Long time no update. Been very busy with university work so I havn’t had a lot of time to hack. I did manage to write a global searcher for 1.1.0 and convert some of the plugins to store information in an sqlite database. 1.0.5 has a new default theme and is about ready to get released. There is one open bug on the mailinglist that I want to fix before doing a release.

A talk about mms
On the 4th of October at 7 PM I will be delivering a talk on mms and open source in general. The talk is hosted by UNF Aalborg in collaboration with the local Linux User Group njlug. You can read more about it here. Be sure to stop by if you are in the neighborhood.
Ran into the bug described here today while cleaning up some code in mmsv2 1.1.0. Luckily I it manifested itself as a link error and not calls to strange functions I don’t want to be calling 8)

mmsv2 1.0 released
I released mmsv2 1.0 tonight. It has got quite a lot of testing since rc1 was released so I’m pretty confident about the release. I’ve added the new version to portage including ~amd64 (new in 1.0) as well. Update the features section also.
