This really may not be complete. I'm doing this mostly off the top of my head and this is my experience with mythburn CVS installing on Fedora Core 3 as of about 3 weeks ago. This is the howto I loosely followed when installing. http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=MythTVBurn_Scripts_HowTo 1) ProjectX .82 ( You may be able to use .90 but youll have to muck around with the mythburn scripts. 2) Xvfb 3) dvdauthor 4) mjpegtools 5) ImageMagic For projectx, I made a shell script called /usr/local/bin/projectx containing the following: #!/bin/bash java -jar /usr/local/bin/projectx_dir/ProjectX.jar $@ The projectx_dir above is just a directory where I untarred projectx .82 into. I followed the instructions on pulling down the latest from CVS, but instead of mkdir /myth/mythburn, I just did mkdir /myth because I had trouble with the install script looking for files it couldnt find. Thats all I remember now. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
