you can simply run mythfrontend without mythbackend (I discoverd this because mythbackend looked like it was starting but wasn't, but frontend ran anyway). You occasionally got messages saying that frontend couldn't communicate with backend at 127.0.0.1, but it didn't affect the ability to watch videos or listen to music. > > > Oh and I need to build an infra-red receiver and get lirc going too. > > That's one of the thing which Is missing on this M10K too.

Whats more the sereniti case has a little window in the front for an ir receiver to sit in. Also have to check out that I am getting digital sound out the back, not sure how to get that driven properly, whether alsa will do it or i have to go to some via driver. -- Nick Rout -- [email protected] mailing list
