MythTV: Turning Linux Into a Digital Video Recorder: The Front End

linux-howto

http://www.linux.com – After reading the first part of this series, you should have a MythTV server up and running. To watch TV or schedule recordings you'll need to setup one or more MythTV front ends. Since the front end has to decode, deinterlace, and display the video content, it normally has to perform more work than the MythTV back end. Luckily, I have a recent NVidia graphics card which is capable of performing much of the video processing grunt work for me. (Software)

Stories similar to MythTV: Turning Linux Into a Digital Video Recorder: The Front End

MythTV 0.26 Has Live Streaming 36 weeks 5 days ago

MythTV, a Digital Video Recorder and home media center hub featuring automatic commercial detection/skipping, intelligent schedules recordings, parental control, remote administration, and many more other functions, is now at version 0.25.

The developers of MythTV have implemented a lot of changes and updates in this version, despite the small numbering difference.

I have ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and am trying to install MythTV to watch an HDHomeRun Tuner. Trying to install from the Software Package Manager I get a Package Dependencies Can Not Be Resolved Error. Details states that the following packages have unmet dependencies.

XBMC / MythTV / Remotes 36 weeks 6 days ago

I am going to describe my current architecture and then explain what my potential problem is at the end.

I have a dedicated MythTV backend running Mythbuntu 12.04 with MythTV 0.25-fixes. I currently only have one HD-PVR connected to a Dish VIP211k HD receiver. I have 3 frontends all running Mythbuntu 12.04 & MythTV 0.25-fixes.

MythTV Front-end 3 years 28 weeks ago

Hello peoples; my Myth backend still runs the old (yet stable and WORKING!) version 0.21. I want to put the front-end onto Fedora11 but all I can find in Add/Remove Software is v.22, which is not compatible :(

How can I get the older front-end? Do I need to upgrade my back-end (if so, would I loose settings, recordings etc)? Thanks!

I am running Mythbuntu 12.04 for my MythTV HTPC setup. Everything works great with the HDMI 7.1 surround sound and video except for MAME. How can I configure MAME to use the HDMI sound output on the NVidia Geforce 600 video card? The sound is configured on the MythTV as ALSA:hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1. Audacity lists it as HDA NVidia: HDMI 0 (hw:1,3).

I have the last pre unity Ubuntu running Mythtv with 2 tuner cards on a gigabit connection.. I have a spare hard drive that would like to do a fresh install of latest ubuntu 12.10 and add mythtv to it.

OK, as you can guess from the thread title a few things need some fixin'!

Dazzle PVC100 audio setup 42 weeks 1 day ago

I'm not running mythbutu but this still seemed the best place to post.

Ubuntu 12.04 and mythtv (the one from the software center) and a Pinnacle Dazzle DVC100. I have the video set up and can view the video in mythtv but for I can't figure out how to get the audio. When using tvtime I get both video and sound so I know sound works.

EVGA-GeForce GT 520 HDMI sound 49 weeks 5 days ago

I need to know if anyone has successfully gotten sound to work using the EVGA-GeForce GT 520 video card connected with HDMI to an hd tv on any flavor of linux on any desktop.

It matters not what flavor of linux you used. I just want to know if it works for someone. If so I'll give it another shot but for now I don't think the sound is working in Linux for this card.
