MythTV

A recent article about GNOME 2.22 included this brief mention: Totem 2.22 features plugins for YouTube and MythTV. The YouTube plug-in allows you to search and browse YouTube.com video files all within Totem. The MythTV plugin for GNOME allows you to view recordings from a MythTV server as well as […]

MythTV in GNOME and Maemo

I’m building Minimyth on a number of machines in order to debug a problem with the build I’m having on Fedora 7. The machines are running FC5 and FC6 and are on an internal network that connects to the Internet via a proxy. Minimyth’s source is a build system whose […]

A little tip: wget through a proxy

I’m finally getting back to using my Epia M10000 board as a MythTV frontend. The goal here is to configure it to run with a CF card for booting and a wireless card to communicate with the backend, and use the TV-output connected to our TV in the living room. […]

Well, I’m getting further along. I now understand how to use the intel driver better, well enough to setup dual head dynamically using xrandr. But there is a serious limitation that makes me think either the Intel guys don’t understand X11 or there is a shift in Xorg away from […]

It’s that time again. Time to upgrade all the servers in the house (and at work, probably early next month) to the latest Fedora release. I started with my MythTV server since it only serves two purposes: run as the MythTV backend and run BOINC. I jumped into this a […]

I've finally gotten back to working on my MythBox project. This is a project to build an embedded distribution for MythTV that will run on a high-end appliance for the backend. In other words, I want to build a distribution that can run off a IDE CF card so power […]

Back to Mythbox, finally

Linux Devices posted a story about a new Linux-based DVR from a company called Neuros that is going into beta specifically for Linux-hackers. This looks pretty cool. It would be fun to play with if I had a spare $230. But that price point is too high for me when […]

I recently did a major systems upgrade at home, moving multiple systems from FC2 and FC3 up to FC5. One of those systems holds my MythTV backend server while another is my wireless connected laptop running the MythTV frontend. Obviously, the front and backends got updated too, along with the […]

I've got MythTV working with a keyboard now, but the builtin IR receiver and remote are sending signals to the keyboard and I'm not to good with trying to learn how to map the remote into the keyboard driver. I managed to get the down arrow to map to a […]

MythTV and the HP de100c

I'm building a mythclient for use at home. It's being installed on FC5 using the ATRPMS repository so I can do a simply yum install mythtv-suite. Except that there is a missing dependency that, as it turns out, is hard as hell to resolve. MythMusic depends on libmp4ff which (after […]

My daughter won the Colorado High School 4A State Championship for #2 Singles in tennis this past weekend. High school team tennis runs with 7 lines, with 3 singles lines (1-3) and 4 doubles (1-4). My daughter plays line 2, primarily because the state champion at line 1 is also […]
