Description of problem: Mythbrowser is not included in the MythTV v33.1 packages for Mageia 9. Mythbrowser is required for accessing web sites and being able open video streaming sites such as Netflix from MythTV. This is different to 'mythweb' which IS included, as 'mythtv-mythweb-31.0-3.mga9.noarch.rpm', in Magaia 9 but it has been replaced in MythTV by 'WebFrontend' and is no longer being developed or maintained. Mythbrowser is required for accessing web sites and being able open video streaming sites such as Netflix from MythTV. It would appear that the wrong package has been removed from Mageia 9 The last version that was available was for Mageia 8. mythtv-plugin-browser-31.0-20210112.1.mga8.x86_64.rpm Could you please create a corresponding RPM for Mageia 9 Steve
Thank you for the report. For the record, we have in M9: mythtv-backend mythtv-common mythtv-doc mythtv-frontend mythtv-mythweb mythtv-plugin-archive mythtv-plugin-game mythtv-plugin-music mythtv-plugin-netvision mythtv-plugin-news mythtv-plugin-weather mythtv-plugin-zoneminder mythtv-setup mythtv-themes-base I do not have the corresponding list for M8 to hand, which implicitly includes also 'mythtv-plugin-browser'. I can find no sign of 'WebFrontend' or 'Mythbrowser' on the project site. MythTV MythArchive MythGallery MythMusic MythVideo MythWeb + MythControls MythFlix MythGame MythMovies MythWeather MythZoneMinder But wait! https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythBrowser says: "MythBrowser is a plugin that provides a fully functional WebKit-based browser. Do not confuse this with MythWeb which allows you to access your mythtv content over a web-browser." The project download page lists these two: MythTV 33.1 Mythweb 33.1 These official plugins are noted (no sign where they come from): MythBrowser *** MythArchive MythGallery MythGame MythGame MythMovies MythMusic MythNews MythVideo MythWeather MythWeb No sign of Zoneminder. Since we offer most of the plugins, adding Mythbrowser should be in order. Different packagers update MythTV, so assigning this globally.

Hi, OK, I have noticed that there was an issue raised last year regarding QtWebkit last year, https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/issues/327. It maybe that this has been resolved but that the Mythbrowser web page has not been updated. I will raise the question with the MythTV team Steve
Hi, It appears that there is a problem with moving MythBrowser from QtWebkit to QtWebEngine which they have not been able to resolve, therefore this can be closed
Marked as resolved/Wontfix for previous reason above, may be reopened if resolved upstream
