Practical Way for Porting MP to Linux (3 Viewers)

[sebrock]

I have attempted to contact the mythtv developers with no joy. I have been informed that the next release of mythtv (0.21) will include a new rewritten gui with 3d backgrounds and animations!!! Sounds promising but i still can't see it touching media portal!!

try #mythtv on irc.freenode.net

this could work out great for windows version if you get it on linux when you finaly get it on linux and working you understand more of how the program works

I have been trooling the internets looking for information about this,

I have an old Xbox that can be converted to run Linux, in the lounge I have my media centre in the lounge running MP and the tv server. If I could get MP running on the linux Xbox I then have cheap media centre extender type things that I could move around the network with ease, take it outside and hook it up to a projector on the deck etc etc.....dreams....

So a full port would be fantastic as the haven't got windows running on xbox yet, maybe i should talk to the mythtv fellas about getting that to connect to the mp tv server....

Any way I would be happy to help in anyway possible but as i can't code my way out of a wet paper bag my usefulness is limited

One word...... XBMC

Yeah I read about that earlier but I don't think it will talk to the MP tv server that I am already running on my actual media centre which also has the mp client on it as well as the mp client on my laptop.

So while a great project it doesn't help me ...sigh... so picky

of course I may be wrong and thought this only communicated with MCE which I have abandoned in favour of MP

EDIT: XBMC Looks pretty good, apart from no live tv from tv server

Awesome,



That is perfect timing, as soon as I work out how to thank ppl I will thank you for that link.

Time to start modding the XBOX it would seem.

Also MythTV is already a client-server system. And it is linux-stable. No hassle with M$-stuff. (Sorry for the commercial of MythTV, but after about 5 attempts to get a fast stable windows with MP I gave it up).

here's another one to check out - http://elisa.fluendo.com/ (Still in heavy development, but racing in the right direction by a very talented team!)

(and if you're interested in my background - i'm still running xp/mp on my htpc until elisa matures, but every other pc in my house has been converted to linux. i've totally lost faith in microsoft )
