A word of thanks to the maintainers of the Xbox distro for MythTV. A friend of mine came over this past weekend and we converted his Windows MCE2005 system to a MythTV backend and his Xbox to a MythTV frontend. Of course, he was concerned about the stuff on his Xbox already (boots to XBMC CVS 2/08/2005, and many saved games, modded w/ X3)
Well, we installed according to the instructions on bltblk and it was beautiful. It pulled down MythTV v0.17 like a champ (looks like it's hosted at RIT.. Yeah Rochester!). I missed a few settings on the backend (127.0.0.1 is not the server address to use!) and in MySQL (add permissions!). NFS how-to was really easy as well. And we didn't loose a thing off his Xbox. All in all, a very excellent experience. I've used Jarod's guide many times to build frontend/backend combos for other folks here in Rochester, so this time I helped this linux newbie walk through it himself while I configured the Xbox. Again, thanks to everyone who makes MythTV possible. The time you commit to this project - coding, documentation, and simply answering questions on the mailing list - really make MythTV the great project that it is. -Brian BTW: My wife thinks it's very odd that I refer to the people on this list (at home, in conversations about Myth) on a first-name basis.
