Oh, I remember another question :

What is the point of the back end?

MythTV seems to run perfectly well for my purposes when I don't run it, except I keep seeing warnings about it not running.
Is the way I am using it so a-typical that it doesn't think it's a valid configuration?


I am just using it for playing recorded mpegs (previously recorded using a ReplayTV) and for recording and playing DVDs. A few of the other things are nice - eg weather/news/etc etc, but not my primary use.

I am in China and there's only one channel which has English, and it's only news, so I'm really not interested in TV recording.

Can I do without the back end?

I have almost made it to a good MythTV set-up :)

Some problems that I need pointers on :

1) audio - my audio works, but I must always run system-config-soundcard after a reboot.

2) mouse - I can't see a mouse pointer while MythTV is running; it works fine when MythTV isn't running.

3) capturing - I can't figure out how to capture a DVD to a file.

4) font problem - the fonts that descend below the line seem to have the lower parts chopped off. How can I fix this?

5) can I use VLC instead of movieplayer? if so, how can I install it on fc3?

Anyone care to help?

Max.
