In d848f2d99776da7d51dc64b6eec2f72ba0aecd84/mythtv:

freemheg: Don't return an object not present error until timeout occurs

Remove the error return in GetCarouselData? when GetDSMCCObject returns
'not present' since the object and/or data may arrive later.

This fixes a problem with the BBC interactive logo not being displayed
after switchiong to a BBC channel.

The only patches which have not been applied are those related to improving low bitrate streaming, Daniel is working on a different approach to the same problem

comment:7 Changed 7 years ago by peper03@…

Added a patch to initialise MHIContext::m_notify, which appears to have been the reason for playback of (non-MHEG) videos pausing instead of exiting at the end (see ​http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/543839).

In a2bd7268d63c056df9ff804af4fb438fc5d8f845/mythtv:

Added missing initialisation of MHEG member variable that sometimes caused (non-MHEG) video playback to pause at the end.
