There currently is, to the best of my knowledge, no plugin for music
in MythTV for OSX.
This is one of the reasons why I loaded FC4, so I can get full
MythTV support.
I have been using MythTV since the early days, but always on x86
hardware.
The last time I had MythTV-x86 running in the living room, MythMusic
was the most used plugin.
I have no doubt that this will be any different now.
I am trying to get the living room friendly Mini to play nice with
MythTV.
This is the machines primary function.

Still not sure what you meant by "[iTunes]... will not let me do what
I want it to do."
That aside, my solution would have been to get MythMusic working
under OS X. :) I don't think people have ventured into making this
work because most people would rather just run iTunes - that's why I
never bothered, anyway.
I agree that the mini makes a VERY nice (small, quiet, stylish, nice
price point) machine to sit in your living room.
Now onto the hopefully helpful part:
Do you have /dev/adsp? If so, try that as your audio device instead
of /dev/dsp for MythMusic.
The goal is a dedicated MythTV system running in the living room.
That being said, MythMusic should be along for the ride, ie: auto boot
into MythTV and just run from there.
iTunes has MANY down sides. I no longer have it running even on my
Windows systems, and, obviously, my Mac is now a Penguin.
I do not feel I can support any software that insists on telling me how
I can handle my data files, mp3s included. I should be the ultimate
master of how my systems run, not the other way around.
I was running iTunes off of an NFS share, but I want the WHOLE MythTV
experience. Playing music meant exiting Myth and launching iTunes.

No Music support.
My OS X finally went buggy, so I loaded FC4 hoping for media center
nirvana.
Maybe it isn't there yet.
Basically, this is not a massive issue, but rather a configuration question.
MythMusic issues static, WatchTV blows up, Watch Recordings does the
same. Pretty much the core three things I love MythTV for!
Let's stay on topic, folks. This is not an iTunes issue, but rather a
MythTV one.
I will look into that /dev/adsp, but I do not seem to have that as an
option in mythsetup or frontend utilities. Are you successfully running
MythTV on a Mac?
Am I really the only one running MythTV on a Mac Mini? It seems from the
Google searches that I would be a late-comer.
Again, Happy New Year to all and thanks for the replies.
Matt
