Are you looking to be able to play your TV files also? What would be a good way to duplicate files from the backend to the car PC for something like that? Anybody got any good ideas?
Wireless access point in the garage. A Magnetic antenna on the trunk to a wireless card in the laptop. The car could connect for the night and update. A lot of GigaBytes to transfer, but it has all night to do it. When done, it could shut itself down for the night.
I'm guessing you would run this myth box as a back and frontend all in one. Then you would mount a network drive that holds the Tv files. You would have to run a script that duplicates the files then also enters the information into the database for these files. Does that sound about right. I could see this being a nice answer for my trips wit hthe kids. record a full day of Disney and transfer to the car.
That should not be too hard to set up. My kids are grown, so I really only need the music but the ability to do Video is a nice plus.
With VNC and a wireless access point you could set it up from your desk or even while watching MythTV in your living room. :) -Chuck-
