LinHES (based on KnoppMyth) - My Settop Box LinHES is what I called my home entertainment system. LinHES is of course based on KnoppMyth, but the setup I describe can be accomplished with any Linux distro and MythTV. My setup consists of a master and slave backend. My master backend is in my bedroom and it is used to store all recorded programs. My slave backend is in my living room. It's primary function is to entertainment visitors. Both backends are hooked up to a TV via, TV out(SVIDEO). SBE is also hooked to a Kenwood receiver w/ surround(works w/o additional tweaking!). NFS is used to share the files between the systems. in Computing > HTPCwith backenddistroknoppmythlinheslinuxmythtv
O'Reilly -- Building My MythTV Box, Part 1: Hardware I recently started building my own MythTV system, for reasons that are detailed elsewhere. Even though the broadcast flag was struck down on May 6, I nevertheless pressed ahead with building my system because I was sure the broadcast flag would be back. Although the Innovation Coalition won round one, it was only the opening skirmish. Sure enough, it rose from the dead, rather like a vampire, on Monday. The only sure-fire way to keep my right to tinker with TV was to beat the original deadline. While the Broadcast Flag battle continues, it's still legal to put together your own home-theater PC. Matthew Gast has begun constructing his system and covers hardware in this first installment of the series. broadcastdigitalflaghardwarehomemediamythtvoreillytheater in Computing > HTPC > Howtowith boxbuildingcomputinghowtolinuxmythtvsystem
UPnP Client? | MythTV | Users Read "nick at rout" responce to UPnP client, it's perfect, well not really but it is what i'm after. "The other option of course is to simply nfs or cifs mount the video directory of your slug to a subdirectory of /mnt/videos. Then you don't need step 4, the files just appear as if on the local drive, but when you play them they come over the network via nfs or cifs. (cifs is the samba protocol, I believe it is more capable than smbfs but I can't remember what gave me that impression) " UPnP Client?
