Finally have slave and master backends talking. My slave is nothing more than a PIII 1Ghz dual with PVR250. No sound card and no fancy video card. I can capture video off of the slave with cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg and upload that to my master/frontend box and all looks great (perfect sound and video). I have the slave capture card setup as pvr250/350 /dev/video0 and tuner as default. Tuner is set for cable. I successfully recorded two shows last night one on the master and one on the slave at the same time. Frontend information/status/tuners shows my master/fe pvr350 as tuner 2 and the slave pvr250 as tuner 6. The problem I am having now is I can't view the recordings from the slave. Also if I start recording on the master/fe 350 and then click on watch TV I am presented with a black screen for 3 seconds and then it kicks me back into the menus even though the slaves tuner is showing not recording. My slave 250 is recording to it's own 100GB hard drive. What am I missing? Do you have to take the slaves 100GB drive and NFS mount it to the master/fe or something of that nature? Thanks Regg
Also this is a pretty good overview reference I saw http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/cs427/MythTV+Architecture+Styles+and+Patterns _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
