Thanks for your response - what do u think is the most viable way of getting as much of the mythfrontend to work on the MVP ? Developing mvpmc further ? or could something clever be done with exporting displays from another box ? getting some kind of mythfrontend server that the mvpmc could connect to ? Or just waiting to see if a higher spec MVP comes onto the market ?
There's various possible approaches; mvpmc is currently useless for me, as it doesn't support transport stream playback. If this was fixed, and it was made to look and feel a bit more like myth, that would be quite workable.
The way the windows MVP server works uses a modified form of VNC - the menus etc are exported over VNC and then compressed video is streamed alongside. This is more suitable than X as a VNC client is a lot more lightweight than an X server.
Over on the shspvr forums, someone has upgraded the RAM on their MVP to 32MB - this might be enough to squeeze myth into.
It might be possible to further optimise the size of Myth in order to fit - the move to mythui might or might not help; using mythui would allow the qt library to be compiled without most of the graphical functions - a custom mythui backend for the MVP might work out smaller.
