[Klug-general] Help with Myth

[chris jeffries]

3. Haven't got a server <---> client system working yet. It finds the MySQL Database on the server, but will not stream any live TV or recordings!

After more playing on my laptop, I have had some some success with this now. The MythTV Frontend still does not work across the network, but the MythWeb pages work and allow me to play recordings. It uses the VLC media player to show the .asx streamed versions of the recordings.

I tried this first on a wired setup which was faultless, and then wireless which was a little choppy on the video at full screen but audio was fine. At a smaller window size it was perfect again.

This was using the Mythbuntu CD in Live mode, and without configuring the restricted nVidia drivers for my laptop, so I will take the plunge and do a dual-boot install tonight alongside Gentoo... or maybe see if I can install MythTV frontend _in_ Gentoo.



Is the backend set with a static ip, and the static ip used in the backend setup rather than 127.0.0.1? sounds like it does if it finds the database, but thought it might be worth checking.
