Subject: Re: Video streaming with freeBSD
If the main purpose of your box is to be a PVR, I suggest going with a
Linux
distribution and using MythTV (http://www.mythtv.org). While I am a fan
of
FreeBSD as a web/mail/etc. server, it did not meet my needs when
attempting
to build a PVR. I found the Gentoo Linux distribution most comfortable
for
me because it uses a "portage" system similar to the "ports" system of
FreeBSD. Others I tried were package based and didn't always support my
hardware.
I would like to try and put together the most functional FreeBSD based PVR
system possible, even if it does have less functionality than it's
Linux counterpart.
does anyone have a recipe for a working FreeBSD based PVR?
if not post Ideas for software / configurations / Hardware, and I will
l make a web page
out of it.
install multimedia/MythTV from ports tree. doubt you will find a better PVR
program.
