Well I installed Ubuntu 5.10 lastnight for about the third time. Then updated it to point to multiverse/universe packages. Got my dvb card going with default installed kernel, then apt-get installed the mythweb and mythtv from externally. I got it all working, then I configured the sql server to not just bind on localhost. Grabbed knoppmyth and to my surprise I connected to backend and could watch live tv/recorded shows via this quick booted frontend on my laptop. So grabbed a precompiled osx binary of mythfrontend 0.18.1 and to my surprise it worked on this also. Even works on my wifes Powerbook with wireless 802.11g (although in the same room as the AP, so over coming days I will test it from various rooms to determine if the throughput is still enough). I am totally impressed and can see this setup being a huge advantage. Certainly means I will consider purchasing the xmltv feed that is available from a company in oz. As long as its upto date and works all the time. I am happy to support them. Now I need to purchase another dvb card and see if i can squeeze into the pci slot next to the existing one, if not I might have to remove the fx5200 from the backend machine and shuffle cards over (so the 2 dvb's have a pci slot between them). My backend is not going to be connected to a tv, so fx5200 is not really needed. I guess I will experiment in the near future. I am due to go away tomorrow, so I guess I wont be playing for another week or so. Excellent work to the developers who produced mythtv, fantastic application. I can't wait to get more involved and learn more about the actually settings I am yet to explore. I'll have to do my bit and produce a howto for my dvb card and ubuntu 5.10 for some of the aussie folks. Merry Xmas to all. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
