Description

Qt5 has been released, and some distros are starting to provide it as an alternative to Qt4, although I would not expect Qt5 to be the default for quite some time. Regardless, one of the changes in Qt5 is eliminating QHttp, which is used by the Ceton tuner in MythTV.

This patch converts the Ceton tuner from using QHttp to using MythDownloadManager?. This allows a common implementation to work in both Qt4 and (future) Qt5.

This patch depends on the patches in ticket 12066 to MythDownloadManager? to request that any caching is bypassed.

This patch has been only lightly tested. While I do not own a Ceton card, I did create a Ceton "emulator" that responds to the various MythTV requests as what I think a Ceton card would do, and the code appear to work. However, as with all else, emulators are not always as good as the real thing (and I am not about to spend US $299 for an ethernet based Ceton device just for testing purposes). Testing by someone with an actual Ceton device before committing to master would be highly advisable. In addition, while developed and tested using the emulator on a Qt 4.8 system, it was only even more lightly tested (if that is possible) on a Qt5 system.

This patch replaces the parts of ticket 11871 that deal with cetonstreamhandler{h|cpp} that marked and indicated that the Ceton tuner was not yet being ported to Qt5 (since this ticket provides the patch that ports it).

For the appropriate Release Notes:

Users running the MythTV backend on a system using a http proxy, and using a Ceton tuner, may need to modify their proxy configuration to bypass the proxy for the Ceton tuner (i.e. no_proxy="192.168.200.0/24")
