MythTV Builds for MacOS

This unofficial repository contains current and legacy builds of MythTV's Mythfrontend for MacOS.

The file structure is organized by MythTV release. Within each release folder there are additional subfolders for the macOS build environment. For example, if v36 was compiled on Sonoma it will be stored in v35/macOS 14 Sonoma.

Older macOS versions will work on newer macOS versions (i.e. versions built on macOS 13 will work on macOS 13 and later)

Intel versions will work on ARM64 computers (thank you Rosetta 2)

All automatic builds posted are created via GitHub Actions. Since they leverage GitHub runners, when a runner OS version gets retired, so will the automatic build. Likewise as new OS versions become available, new automatic builds will become available.

  • arm64 builds are available for Sonoma and Sequoia.
  • x86_64 builds are available for Ventura.

Support

Support for compiling is provided on the mythtv users mailing list or forums. Please do not get offended if you are referred to these forums for help. These forums are monitored by many more helpful/insightful developers than this unofficial SourceForge sight.

Build Status

arm64 and x86_64 builds are automatically refreshed weekely via GitHub CI's (when code changes are detected).

The compile script is available in mythtv's official GitHub packaging repo. This script does build all of the mythtv executables (including mythbackend) but only packages up Mythfrontend. Feeback and updates are appreciated, so please give it a try and help make the build script better.

Build Instructions for v35, and master

Currently both the v35 and master/pre-v36 dmg files are being built with the compileMythtvAnsible.zsh script.

Build Instructions can be found on the MythTV wiki here.
