Does anybody have any experience with running a MythTV backend
on a non-dedicated machine (a machine that's also used for
software development, web-browsing, e-mail, etc.)?
All of the info I find about "split" MythTV systems implies
that the backend is a dedicated MythTV server. It seems like a
waste to have both a backend server and my normal "desktop"
machine running all the time -- both 99% idle.
My tuner is a network-attached HDHR, so the backend isn't doing
any real-time encoding. All it needs to to is shovel bytes
between the network interface and the disk. I do plan on
having a dedicated drive for MythTV recordings.
