I am replacing my aging Nokia sat-receiver+ harddisk-recorder, and thought I'd have a look at building a new one myself. I've known about vdr (http://www.tvdr.de/) for a few years now, I guess since ct created ctvdr, but mythtv is relatively new to me. Opinions please - which one is currently ahead?
I'm running myth-tv, it's got a lot of features, but can be a bear to setup, and really isn't well supported on oS, I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. (Note: Charles Phillip Chan, who at least get's the list has it up and running quite well on oS.) If you are comfortable with git and compiling from source, I'd suggest you check out 0.24-fixes.
Why not MythBuntu? http://www.mythbuntu.org/ All the grunt work done for you.
I have to say I did not find MythTV to be that hard to set up. I followed the directions pages and compiled from source.
I found it quite the bear, all of the good info was debian based, and it took me months to work it all out on oS. I did look at mythbuntu, and mythdora, and knopmyth, which just plain worked with very little tinkering. The bad part was working out the issues I had with LIRC ( it worked then it broke), v4l (I have a web cam and had to do some research on udev) and my sound card didn't work quite right in oS ( odd that one, kernel drivers ought to be kernel drivers across any distro). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
