Have you tried to build a MythTV backend on this setup yet.
I guess it would just be to dwnld myth and setup the backend and then create the video source in XBMC with local host 127.0.0.1 or the like.
I have not done it this way so any ideas would be great.
is there a sudo apt-get install for myth or do we have to dwnld and build from source.
Thanks,
Dave
For just the backend:
Code:
sudo apt-get install mythtv-backend
Code:
sudo apt-get install mythtv
I'm considering building 0.22 SVN and launching the frontend from XBMC for playing live tv / recordings so I can take advantage of VDPAU. The mythtv wiki page showing how to build from source is here --> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Ubuntu-8.10_Source_Install. Be sure to add "--enable-vdpau --enable-opengl-vsync" to "./configure" in the mythtv directory if you plan to use it.
