I have been playing with MythTV on SuSE, on and off, for a couple of
months, with limited success. It may be easier to install MythTV on
Fedora, but I am in the process of avoiding Fedora as much as possible.
There is even a one-CD Fedora-based distro pre-configured for MythTV
("MythDora"). I've also heard sucecss stories of installing MythTV in
Gentoo and Ubuntu. However, there is only so much time each of us can
have. That's why sharing and aggregating our experience is so
critical. Wayne
I was checking the Debian repositories, and MythTV is available on the
Christian Marillat's external repository. You mentioned it was complex?
Here is what you get when you use apt to install it:
The following extra packages will be installed:
libdbd-mysql-perl libdvdnav4 libiec61883-0 libmysqlclient15off
libmyth-0.19 libqt3-mt-mysql libraw1394-8
mysql-client mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server
mysql-server-5.0 mythtv-backend mythtv-common
mythtv-database mythtv-frontend pwgen
Suggested packages:
mythtv-debug mythweb mythmusic mythweather mythgallery mythdvd
mythvideo mythgame
Recommended packages:
mailx mythtv-doc mythtv-themes xmltv-util
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libdbd-mysql-perl libdvdnav4 libiec61883-0 libmysqlclient15off
libmyth-0.19 libqt3-mt-mysql libraw1394-8
mysql-client mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server
mysql-server-5.0 mythtv mythtv-backend
mythtv-common mythtv-database mythtv-frontend pwgen
A brief glance shows that MythTV also installs a pretty complete MySQL
database system. That has its own dependencies. I would not want to try
to resolve them without a good package management system.
