Re: [mythtv-users] Sega Dreamcast Frontend

I was able to watch DIVX clips on my dreamcast before I put it away, and those should be much more difficult to render than mpeg2, but I think Joe's right about you needing to make your own frontend.  On the plus side if winCE can do something your dreamcast should be able to as well, but I seem to remember one of the reasons for failure in the dreamcast was the difficulty in programming its graphics system, then again I never tried.

On the other hand, if you wanted to create your own
frontend, not running on Linux, that talks the MythTV
protocol, it should be possible, since the Dreamcast
was capable of video playback.  (Only thing is I can't
recall if it was able to stream native MPEG-2, or if
the MPEG-2 clips were converted into another format).

Don't expect MythTV to run on it as is though, it
would have to be ported to a smaller, faster OS that
runs on the Dreamcast.
