[mythtv-users] Who do you have to kill to ACTUALLY get MythGames/xmame working?

Alright, I'm completely pissed off here. I don't believe MythGames + xmame works. It's been on the radar for 6 months to get it working. I've sat down several times to attempt to that... no success. The couple times I've managed to get it working somewhat it's just randomly stopped working

[mythtv-users] Recording HDTV via cable in the US? (yes another one)

2005-12-17 Thread Matt Goebel
Hi, I've just bought a new HDTV and switched over to a HDTV cable box from my cable company (Bright House Networks). They gave me a Motorola DCT6200 DVR for two months because they were out of plain non-DVR HDTV cables boxes (DCT5100's I believe is what they are using for that). So now I'd

[mythtv-users] Changing channel to another tuner/source?

Is there some way to setup Myth so that when I change channels to a channel number that doesn't exist on the current tuner/source it will change tuners/sources to one where it does? I have 4 tuners and one of them is using a digital cable box as an input... it's the only tuner that I have with

I'd like to add the ability to watch video files (mpeg, xvid etc..) off of CDs/DVDs to the optical disk menu. I believe I can customize the menu by copying it to my myth user's home directory and adding a link to a shell script. That seems kind of like a hack though. I want something nice
