It's a great light weight front end. Google Myth MediaMVP for the site. It loads a myth image via tftp from the myth server. From there you can watch recorded TV shows via the myth protocol or video via an NFS mount (scripts exist to make a friendlier name).
I have audio sync issues with ripped DVDs, but TV playback works well. You can watch and delete recordings, but you cannot currently schedule using the MediaMVP box. It can only play MPEG1/MPEG2 video, no dice on MPEG4 so you can't transcode the shows. - Todd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Reith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jeff volckaert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Discussion about mythtv" <[email protected]>; "Discussion about mythtv" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 8:46 AM Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] What's a good mini front-end-only box? > At 08:28 AM 7/14/2005, Jeff volckaert wrote: >>The cheapest, smallest, and quietest frontend I can think of is the >>Hauppauge MediaMVP for $86. >> >>http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815116617 >> >>Jeff > > Very impressive.
