First, I would probably suggest a VPN between your locations. This would allow you to have both networks connected and even sharing an IP subnet so pointing the boxes at each other is very simple.Hey Everyone,
I have a second house that I want to put MythTV into. I have a T1 at my first house and a 3MB dsl line in the other house.
I wanted to share programs and music and stuff between the sites without having to have cable, the music files, etc in both places.
Is there any way for one complete Myth system to talk to another and
transfer the requested movies or music in the background fr later
viewing..?
Does someone have a good way to set this up..?
Your best option might be creating a post-processing job for your recordings that launches a DB query and insert from one site to the other (depending on which site the file was recorded at) and then either run or schedule via cron an rsync of the file. This way, each Myth system would have the DB entries for the recordings and once the rsync was finished, each would have a copy of the file. You could also "re-execute" mythcommflag on the recording at the receiving site once received using ssh to build the markup table and flag commercials.
I would think your music might be small enough to handle being shared from one site to the other on demand. As for movies, a scheduled rsync of the video folder and export/import of the video database tables should be enough to keep those in sysnc. The same would apply for music if you found the on demand sharing to be unworkable.
