I, myself, have a Mac Mini frontend using OSX and have MythTV SVN
working fine on there (finally!) - playback is fine and I'm happy with
it but then again I'm using standard PAL and don't use any of the
plugins. I know I won't be able to contribute even tho I really want
to, but just piping up to show that there's someone out there who wants
a OSX frontend.
In fact, I've got an G4 550MHz and it struggles badly playing back the
video. Of course, the processor is on an ancient G3 motherboard which
might explain it. Surprises me somewhat as my friend has a G4 450MHz
which gives more or less the same performance but I do keep in mind that
her G4 is a full G4 while mine's just an upgrade.
I'm pretty sure there's a fair few people out there who wants to use an
OSX frontend - my main computer and one of my frontends uses OSX and I
much rather use OSX than using Linux - installing the frontend is brain
dead simple - just drag and drop to install, run it and change the
database settings and it works. Compare that with installing Linux on
the Mac, installing MythTV and so on. Also my main computer is a Mac
using OSX like I said before - I don't want to dual boot just to watch
MythTV if you get my meaning?
Cheers - Piers
Is anyone else motivated to get these things ported? Just wondering
whether there is likely to be much momentum around a more
comprehensive MacOS port or if I'm mostly alone in the wilderness...
