MythTV does this. But it is certainly > possible. Lets be honest, MythTV is crap! I've tried it out, and all it did was irritate me in so much as I had to go through a massively overcomplicated setup process and it is system heavy, the themes look like irish hangover vomit, it is incredibly rigid in its layout and setting up LIRC makes you want to pull your fingernails out, and of course once you've got it working it is slow and unresponsive. I think the developers are on crack, because they insist on using irxevent instead of doing something far simpler like using the lirc library to access ir events. as far as it goes, I chose freevo because it suits my needs perfectly, it works for a start, when something goes wrong its pretty easy to fix, it doesn't require something as huge as kdelibs and qt, mysql etc... The most important thing that keeps me in the freevo camp is the brilliant way in which we at least come up with ideas and never discount anything, in that sense embracing the open source ideal. the only thing myth has over freevo is the picture in picture and tv-timeshifting pause/play stuff. We will get those soon enough and the future is upward for freevo, not static and stagnant. anyway, /rant i digress too much ;) k, ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
