remote frontend on a Mac
Hi, how do you set up a remote frontend on a Mac? I tried, but: 1.) it's unusably slow 2.) apparently, it uses at least part of the settings for a frontend on one computer on another one as well 3.) it produces error messages about failed communication with the backend 4.) it is unknown which access rights to the database the remote frontend needs 5.) the remote frontend tries to update the database and fails 6.) it's not possible to watch recordings 7.) the recordings of one user are available to the remote frontend and thus to another user I expected it would be possible for a user at the remote frontend to use his own settings and make his own recordings and watch them at his frontend, independent of other users at other frontends (as far as hardware limitations of the TV card allow), with an option to share recordings between users if they want to. If that isn't possible, what's the point?

I run MiniMyth on a Mac Mini (not the current generation, but the previous one -- the box is about a year old). It works just fine. Plays back both 720p and 1080i recordings flawlessly. http://www.minimyth.org/ -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! I have a very good at DENTAL PLAN. Thank you. visi.com
