> tuner card)<br> <br>I always recommend checking the hardware compatibility list on the MythTV website. Unsupported hardware can make your installation a complete and utter pain. <br>><br>> 2. Myth will not play DVDs although Kaffine, xine and anything else<br>
> will quite happily, Myth just gives a blank screen..... and you can't<br>> even return to the main menu, in-short Myth crashes. (Logging out<br>> works quite well)<br><br>I don't use MythTV for playing DVD's, but I believe Spode does. When I've tested it previously I've not encountered any issues. Although I have noticed Spode's setup sometimes not work and require a restart with DVDs.<br>
<br>><br>> 3. I have a my mp3 collection on it, Would prefer the indexing to work<br>> by Album rather than by artist as it splits up most of my CDs due to<br>> them being compilations, To me artist means very little more type and<br>
> album. Again myth does not seam to have a setting for this...... I'd<br>> like all the kids tracks together etc etc etc<br><br>I would also not recommend mythmusic - it's crap IMO. Give Boxee a go (another media player) - it's video and music abilities are far ahead of Myth's IMO. And the developer's may turn it into a MythTV client soon too...<br>
